Keymonus Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Hello everybody! I am planning to start an AMRCA towards the Great Alliance States, starting with the pretext of a ship blocked in the ice in the Northern Seas and so moving South by land looking for survivors. I wouldn't like to find any striking geographical information from eventual survivors or ship-logs, but I think that the best story would be looking for lost explorers. The problem is… what do you think it will be better for BoBS, a lost ship that has (possibly) circumnavigated the World, the Western continent or that was simply looking for a North-West passage towards the archipelago? Let me know what do you think! Edited October 19, 2019 by Keymonus Quote

Let me know what do you think! I like the last idea most, both from an in-universe and a pragmatic point of view. Have a look at the BotBS world map: Spoiler Finding a sea route to the western ocean(s) without circumnavigating the whole world or the southern lands would be a big deal, so some "North-West Passage" could be some sort of holy grail among sailors.

Keymonus Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Good point, I agree with you! Probably I’ll go for that and let my character discover, as the story goes on, if the ship was looking for it or had found it and was on the way back home Edited October 19, 2019 by Keymonus Quote

I recently watched 'The Terror', so I'm fully in the mood for icy sea adventures now . Quote
Ross Fisher Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I think a Mary-Celeste idea would be kinda cool... Quote

It was exactly my inspiration (not the series itself, but an article about the story)! I've planned it for quite a while, but finally I managed to build a ship stuck in ice (+an intact ship, that I built long time ago and never published). 4 minutes ago, Ross Fisher said: I think a Mary-Celeste idea would be kinda cool… Nice idea! A ship without crew and no good reason for their disappearance… Sooner or later I should bring it in BoBS! Quote

This is constantly itching at the back of my mind, and slowly driving me (even more) crazy. When I have the time to build I have no idea what to do, and whn inspiration strucks me, I lack the time...

Wellesley Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Hey all, I have a few questions about the Account Summary. If someone has time and knowledge about it, I would appreciate to clarify these things via PM. Quote

Maxim I Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Hooray, finally took some decent pictures of the Gotheborg. Posted in the MOC subforum of the Pirate forum because it is a replica, so I guess it fits better there Quote
Bregir Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 Anyone with an adventure that needs GM input, please take a look at this post, where I'd like you to post a link to your adventure with a few comments on where you are and what you need input on. Additionally, you no longer need to use the aMRCA form. (I will update the rules over the coming days) Quote
Capt Wolf Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Please welcome another new player to BoBS (and Eslandola): A_Goodman playing as Captain Hernan Orellana. See his intro here: Quote

Roadmonkeytj Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Question ... Do we have a place somewhere to capture everyone's sig fig and back story? Other than the intro threads? Something that could be a reference guide to others that wish to do collaborative works? Something like Sig fig photo Sig fig name Faction / home settlement military rank if any Trade company affiliation if any Ship(s) name(s) if a captain Back story (intro story .... can always be edited as the character evolves) Current story (short bio of current events ... Could be a running link list to story builds) The reason I ask is after doing a couple colab stories it seems I'm doing a lot of back logging trying to keep the stories jiving with the characters background.

Other than in the faction threads? Not that I'm aware of. An index of sig figs would be an interesting resource. It would take some time to compile, and would need someone to volunteer to do that work. Also note that some players have a group of characters that may be the central focus of different stories, so it would be nice to be able to include a player's other significant characters that surround his sigfig.

(Similar to the settlement It is this exact reason that I'm contemplating such a list ... Many of us that have played for some time have at least a couple key characters. Also with the BF captains now many of the players are picking up additional as it is not fitting for their sig fig This could also benefit for the NPC major characters so you don't have to dig through the forum trying to find a reference for mcra responses. I would be willing to work with someone to develop this Quote
