Uncharted Waters the Forum Game!
You are a member of either the British or Spanish Navy and you are trying to conquer the Caribbean Islands for you prospective country either through brute force or financial backing. Watch out for the opposite team and pirates that have fled to these waters!
Rules
Character creation
First pick a class and a preferred team if Teams are uneven GM will balance them.
Classes
There is the…
PRIVATEER
Your soldier class used for fighting, forcing ports to bow to your will, and Keeping merchants safe can use level 9 ships and level 9 swords, Can collect on privateer bounties and have bounties put on them.
Hp: 9
Captain Level: 9
Duel level: 9
Starting boat: Carrack (level 6 boat)
MERCHANT
Bread and butter of your team you need merchants to bring home the bacon and to subjugate ports in a less violent fashion. They can’t use the better ships or swords and are generally targeted by pirates floating in the waters. Can collect on trade missions and Build up port defenses through investments. Collects one ingot (10,000 gold) per allied port
Hp: 6
Captain level: 5
Duel level: 5
Starting boat: pinnacle (level 2 boat)
After that everyone starts at a random friendly with equal amounts of privateer and merchants at each
So if there are 3 merchants and 6 privateers there will be 2 privateers at every friendly port with 1 merchant accompanying them
Ports
Beginning port stats
Wall (health if fired upon): 800
Captain Level 3
Cannons 300
Friendship 10 ingots (To neutrality)
There are a number of ports in the Caribbean and is constantly changing loyalty paying taxes to whoever owns them.
There are two ways to “capture” a port one is by investing in it more then the opposite team the other way is by defeating the port by destroying the town wall with your boat or defeating the enemy’s Captain of the Guard in a duel. Money can be spent by merchants to upgrade a port’s wall, better equip the current captain, or increase the number of cannons in the port.
If a port is captured by defeating it then the privateer gets money equal to the money spent in the port.
Battling
Ship Battles
Ships move and fire on each other the faster ship moving and firing first. (If Fighting a Port port’s actionate first)
When one ship fires on another Damage is calculated Damage calculations are as follows
½ cannon rating + size of enemy’s ship – ship armor = ship damage
EX:
A Galleon (with a cannon rating of 300 ) fires on a merchant's Crappy Boat that has a size rating of 5 an armor rating of 1 and a health rating of 10
So 150 + 5-1= -99 the crappy boat would be sunk and a life boat would be deployed so that the captain has a chance to escape (if close to an allied port) If he/she can escape then another boat can be purchased or stolen for him
Boats are repaired automatically in ports.
Duels
Duels are started when one captain rushes another captain’s boat. And are fought in turns of attack and defend until someone ends up defeated The winning captain then chooses to either steal the ship and any gold that member has earned or kill the captain. Stealing a ship would give you the best ship (you can use) and either sells the stolen ship or gives it to a beached captain.
Duels are fought in turns of attack and defend and depend on luck rather then the better boat
There are 3 moves
S- Slash
T- Thrust
L- Lunge
At the start of a duel you will get a pm with your cards and card values on them each card can only be used once for offense and once for defense send back a pm in order you would like to use the cards for offense and defense
(Future Gm’s use a deck of cards hearts= slash diamonds= thrust and spades/clovers= Lunge with the card number the value face cards are J=11 Q=12 K=13 A=1)
If two captains pick the same move the attack is negated different moves are either negated by a higher number or inflict damage
Ex: A duel
P vs. M
(P’s-cards) level 6 sword
S9
L8
L3
L2
T12
T1
(M’s cards) level 4 sword
L12
S2
S1
S6
P attacked and defended in this order
A
1. S9
2. L8
3. L3
4. L2
5. T12
6. T1
D
1. T1

5. Reload
6. L12

5. RELOAD
6. S2
Higher level swords go first so…
A&D 1
P S9 vs. M S6
Canceled
M S6 vs. P T1
P takes 5 damage
A&D 2
P L8 vs. M S2
M takes 6 damage M is defeated
I PM the winner he decides whether to Kill the enemy captain or to steal all gold aboard. Or both but generally this will fail as the crew tends to rebel (roll a d20 1-3 is a pass anything else is a fail and the defeated captain gets to escape)
Purchases

Pirates…
Pirates are npc’s that have the best boats the best equipment and the highest skill sinking a pirate earns whoever did the most damage 100 ingots and defeating him in a duel allows you to capture his boat and sword (while unlikely for merchants to be able to Defeat a pirate in a duel, if lucky it could happen. He will either choose to give the boat and sword away, or to take a Broadsword and a Carrack.) Pirates want to capture the Caribbean ports for piracy taking money away from hard working people. Pirate loyal ports exist and generally have a large amount of treasure to be plundered but as with pirate captain’s they are extremely strong and should only be taken on in groups or with high health.
Pirates tend to be fleeing crime and try to avoid privateers and merchants only attacking when you get too close or mess with one of their ports. So be careful!
