Before the Mast (LB)

We have action, we have NPCs you are free to control, we love people with initiative. And we are not the usual sandboxy RPG, neither a narrative-driven one, but a story-focused writing community where each actively writing characters can make a difference and an impact on the overall plot. We are writing collaboratively a coherent story with many sideplots aside of it.

We have ships of various allegiances to crew and islands belonging to the French and British crown to populate. Men aboard any ship are strongly recommended as first characters, and civilians as secondary ones. No female sailors are allowed as first characters.


Peace with Spain was signed in February 1720. In April its news will arrive to the West Indies, so all the Navies will ally against the common foe – pirates, making their trade more difficult to survive. Which side are you on?

Sharpen your blades, load your guns, drain that last sip of rhum and join our swashbuckling adventures, spreading death BEFORE THE MAST – for King and Crown or for your own profit!
