Inspired Incompetence

The trials continue for the gang while they stake their claim as deserving to join the ranks of the Free Captains of the Shackles. This time around, we get treated to Paizo's attempt at making a card game playable through a dice-based medium. The games are always more than they seem, however, so let's see what trickery is in store as the gang continues to play the Games of Captains. As always, ple...

For a few months now, the Maskador crew has been a big fish in the little pond that is the Fever Sea. Now it is time to join the big boys in the Shackles, and that means Port Peril.

It's time for the newest crew members to prove their...

The gang has taken Tidewater Rock for good this time (we think), but it came at a steep price.

The gang continues to plumb the depths of the Sahua-den hidden beneath Mancatcher Cove in the hopes of finding some sort of treasure that would make this whole expedition worth the trouble it's caused. Faced with troubling blocked tunnels and more and more dangerous undersea creatures, how much longer will the gang be able to last as they continue their treasure hunt? As always, please remember to...

So this wasn't what the gang expected when they found Mancatcher Cove.

The gang has finally found Mancatcher Cove and it's already turning out to be a disappointment. They've been there for 4 hours and already they've been attacked, and now Skram is prattling on about some sort of Demon. De'Voth is hearing none of it, it's surely just some old folk tale, right?
