Ransom Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Now, Jack, no need to go off in a huff. And I hope you weren't refering to me as a troll! I can heed both your advice. I'll greet the officials to save my ship from undo attention, but there's no saying I can't light the green lantern and look for good Mr. Broadmore and give him your best regards—both verbal and physical. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Sjöröveren Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I must apologize for not following the story more closely. I see that medical attention is needed, with me nowhere to be found. I have fallen so far behind in the thread that it will now take me several hours to catch up -- hours which are in short supply. So feel free to work around me.

Reginald Killingsworth Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hello to all, I'm new to the 'role playing' aspect of Port Royal - perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. I am currently looking into public theaters of Port Royal. I find it odd that we have an actress in the story line, but she hasn't gotten to the stage yet?! Though, I have looked about the internet for information on such a thing, I am not finding much. I know that the Spainish City did have one or two of them prior to the great quake of '92. Yet, there is little to go on. What little I have found gives me the understanding that it was a 'public' theater where all could find entertainment there for a price. There was no restrictions on slaves, indentured servant or comman man to enjoy a show. If anyone can point me in the proper direction, I would be most greatful! Thank you... Allow me to be frank at the commencement; You will not like me...™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhenrymorgan Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I don't think its out of the realm of possibility at all. Port Royal was a very sophisticated city before the earthquake, on a par with Boston in the 1700s. The gentry of town came mostly from England, where of course, theatre had been part of society since long before Shakespeare. There is no documentation I could find, but certainly I think it's very feasible. -- Sir Henry "Land only holds promise if men at sea have the courage to fight for it." - Sir Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Roberts Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ok, for our little story here, would I need to sneak my ship into port? If so, could I jsut changed the name of the ship and be in? Would I also have to have the proper paperwork? I really don't want to spend to much time on getting my ship into port. I've already got 2 paragraghs down and i'm not even close. Just wondering what might have to happen. I really want to get my character on land. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Well we have two possible other pyrate ships in Port, with captains of dubious nature... so if you bring yer vessel in you can actually handle it as you please. So far we have no one actually playing the harbour master...

Capt. Sterling Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 And you know, now that brain is engaged and actually thinking, during this time frame, Port Royal was considered the wickedest place in the world... so I honestly don't think too many folks would be concerned about another pirate ship pulling into the harbour... actually, I think my character is really the oddball... though technically, I do a slightly later than 1660s impression....
