Is everyone happy with us playing Bazaar of the Bizarre?

It's the pirate's life for me!  

Yes, I'm cool with that campaign.

As the other 2 had it as their favourite, i'll take that as a yes!

Only two restrictions on archetypes here. One of you must have an archetype that gives you an ocean going vessel and all archetypes noted as NPC aren't open.

We'll go with standard rules, rather than heroic or gritty.

Sounds great!  I'll get working on a concept.

Who wants to be the Captain, or the ship owner?  I'm flexible, so I would be the owner of the vessel if no one else wanted it.  So, I'm cool if Elliot or DeadU wants to the ship owner.

I'll note that captain and the ship owner (or whoever initiated the expedition) don't have to be the same person!

Which way do we want to go? In any case I think one of those roles ought to be filled first.

Personally I like the idea of them being separate.

Which ever role you want to play, go ahead and pick it.  I'm cool with just being a regular sailor.

It might be worth the 3 PCs being equal partners in the venture. Although, if one of you is bringing the ship, the other two should probably bring something too...

It's only a suggestion. If you guys are fine with 1 player being boss and the others being part of the crew, then i'm fine with it too.

Well, I find myself gravitating toward playing the person who's actually looking for the fountain. Possibly a Cymrilian or Sindaran, but I'm also going to look through the archetypes and see if there might be some other kind of eccentric entrepreneur type. I'd like to be able to hire a ship with a captain. As for the third character, aside from being a member of the crew, perhaps a bodyguard?

Or another way of doing things, we could have an entrepreneur with the money, a sage/wizard who's got the clues, and a captain who's got the ship. Just tossing out ideas here.

That sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Let's see what the others think.

I guess I could be the captain. If I am native to the Southern Rim and want access to a seaworthy vessel, I can play either a Mangar Corsair, a Sunrasan Dragon Hunter, or a Gao Sea Rogue. I could possibly play a Phantasian Dream Merchant or Guardian assuming the ship lost its flight capability by some means. Such a vessel wouldn't be as "comfortable" as the others though.

Edit: For ease of play, the Gao Sea Rogue seems to be the best choice, but before I make a decision - what is everyone else playing? The face? The brains? The brawn?

We could open up the vessel to airships if folk like - that opens up a few more archetypes for the person wanting to be the ship guy. Windskiffs would probably suite things best. They have a crew of captain, first mate, a windpilot and 7 'others' (listed as swordmages in the book, but we don't need to abide by that). Cymrilians, Phantasians, Farad and Rajan folk know how to build them.

Edit: Alternatively, if folk don't want to be constrained a bit in their choice, we can say that you've been hired on to find the fountain and are using a patron's vessel. I'm easy.

I'm happy with either an ocean or air vessel.  It's really up to Elliot and DeadU because it depends on their characters.

I think that the three different roles works well.  It sounds like we've already got it set up tentatively; DeadU can take the Captain position, and Elliot can take on the role of ship owner, or a person who has hired the ship for this adventure.

I'm totally cool with taking the role of the muscle.  I gravitate towards combat-orientated characters naturally anyways.  I've some different ideas that I can go with here; I can play a sailor and crew member, I can play the role of 1st Mate, I can play the role of hired muscle by either DeadU or Elliot, or represent another individual on the adventure, etc.

My choice of archetype and character's role will depend a lot on Elliot's and DeadU's characters.  So, go ahead and start working on your character concepts guys.  I'll build my character's concept around your choices.
