Ransom Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 The Port Royal story ran for over two years, with a lot of great writing. However, many of the original players have, for various reasons, dropped out of the story, and it has been stagnant for many many months. I would like to kick-start it back to life. To do that, it needs new players to create new adventures. If any of you have ever wanted to hop into one of the on-going stories running on the Pub, now is your chance. PR is basically a land-based story(although ships came in and out regularly), and we've had people playing everything from smugglers, murderers, tavern keeps, actresses, pirates, pirate hunters, eccentric professors, and wealthy sugar plantation owners, and more. So you see, you can come into the story as pretty much any type of period character you want. If you want to read some of the back story before coming in, that's fine, but it's not a requirement. This is PR before the big quake, so it is a thriving city filled with many interesting people from all over the world. Come join in the fun..... ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

Capt. Sterling Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Wouldn't it just be easier to start a new story in Port Royal? After all if newbies join and try to write off of some of the old characters they may run into a wall, if the old characters aren't continuing... they certainly cannot write for the old characters without special permission.

I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

Not that I have any standing with this but as a noob I agree with Cpt. Sterling. I took a look at the other thread and it's too long to give the proper respects of reading most of the posts in order to get in the mood.
Ransom Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 That's fine with me. I don't care how we re-start it, I just want to get it going again. I will probably use many of my old characters, but I also may bring in new ones. I'll start a new thread.....Port Royal, Chapter Two........A new beginning. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

There are many forms of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the boundaries into true corruption, into our domain. Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. James 5:1-3
Cheeky Actress Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Hmm....sounds interesting. There are a few characters I'd like to start using...new faces and all... And perhaps I'll see if I can't get a hold of Reggie...or should I say..."his ghost". Member of "The Forsaken"

LadyBarbossa Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I'm interested. Still not sure how the Lady will swing back to Port Royal. Easy to bring her to Port Royal via a ship... but to go from there... I guess we shall see. And why she is there is the tough question. Still debating this. As to starting over... ehh, I think this is like a Soap Opera... it's just continuous and on going... new characters enter some die off or disappear or leave... sometimes they come back... I say just keep it going... just... intro new characters in with the current characters and the current storyline. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Iron Bess Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Hmmmm... maybe I will bring along m'friend, Ronin. Maybe he's to *cranky* for Port Royal.... Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Ransom Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Oh, I don't know. Ronin and the twins might get along famously. Oh, and Lady B, I went ahead and started a new thread for PR. It just seemed easier to make a fresh start, as so many of the old characters would probably not be coming back. We can refer to them, but as stated in the new intro, we just can't play them. I bumped the story up by six months. Anything that was going on before could be resolved within that amount of time, clearing the way for new adventures. Now, those that have signed on for the new PR............GET TO POSTING! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

LadyBarbossa Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I saw, Ransom. :) Awesome. I be one oldie returning. Was in the story at the very beginning when it was started by Hurricane. Then I had the Lady leave via her ship. So... she'll be returning. I think the last time she was there, all hell broke loose and someone important died. Shall post soon enough. I'll get a wee bio up of her and the Crew of the Resurrection as well. People are more than welcome to come to Port Royal aboard the Resurrection if they wish. Do let me know though. I'll be posting soon. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Red Bess Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Ransom, I've always wanted to work on one of these stories, but never felt I had the time. That's one advantage of unemployment - time to follow creative pursuits. So I'll plan to jump into this one. I'm sure I can work my Bess into this somehow...

'Bastian Devareaux Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 How wonderous strange!!!! To those new and old which wish to take on this venture, I wish you "Bon Chance!" Perhaps I might find time away from my pursuit of Jurisprudence to stir the waters a bit this summer. College is such a cruel and wanting mistress to court. To those new to the ways of Port Royal, all I can say is ..."Come on in. The water is fine....."

LadyBarbossa Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Bastian! Miss thee. :) Shall indeed look forward to fun alongside with ye, Red Bess and many others. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Ransom Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 Bump Still room for more players, if you're interested. Also, there is also a LOT of room for players in Terra Incognita. You don't have to include pictures with your posts if you don't have time. At this point, we'd rather have players than pictures. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
