I've made all the rolls etc and the articles are now out with the writers, Red and Terry.

I think it's going to be good one - some joy, some sadness, and some suprises

Sorry that was Ash/AM by the way...new computer and I haven't logged in...

I'll just be happy NOT to be feeding the fishes :)))))

I have a touch of the DOOMs coming on. We're all doomed, doomed I say ;)

Post more notes! Win valuable prizes!

I'm excited, too. Let's see how well our favorite Chinaman does in the Aide position...

:kewl:

joy - Tibs finds out that he has been promoted to captain

some sadness - Tibs finds out that the black death has taken every one above him in the seniority list (tough luck suckers) :lol: :lol:

some suprises - Tibs reviels that he is really a wowen dressed in blokes clothes !! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hurry up GM's, of on holiday soon and if killed off, will have to drink my sorrows :( :(

Any snippets of information for us players to hang onto?

the social side was VERY quiet this month :tumb:

:tumb:

My apologies, for I have been remiss in Briny with the heaping of the praise upon the GMs:

They are brilliant, creative, virtuous and fair,
With nautical knowledge and a flair for the dramatic,
Which meets and exceeds this players expectations,
And no monkeys are ever harmed in the resolving of a turn.

-Carol

Seems that Carol mixed up the forums... :D :lol: ;)

Matthias Ex- :capt:

lol... :rolleyes:

However I am still awaiting Andy and Red to finish the turn so be gentle with us GM's please.... ;)

I'm just back from holiday in Devon, and everything is ready to roll as soon as I get Red's write-up. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to look in at Plymouth Library naval reference section, which is a goldmine if you want to know about the Royal Navy.

The closest I got to maritime history was taking down a marquee in the garden of a manor house that used to belong to Sir Francis Drake, the famous privateer (pirate!). It was given to him by Good Queen Bess in return for the "rutter" - (log and charts etc) of the Golden Hind's voyage around the world. A little bit of history and a beautiful spot.

Andy

PS - Monkeys, now there's a thought - if we get enough of them and plenty typewriters ... well, we're not looking for Shakespeare here after all...

Issue 31 has gone out to all players, along with character sheets and a draft of some new rules.

If anyone has not got it, let me know and I'll send it again.

If anyone has any comments about the new rules, I've opened a topic in the rules forum so please post them there.

A bright new month dawns! Yippee!

Andy

Huzzah! :D :) :xcite:

Will read the new rules later....

My Health: sadly no change: "we are living in a modern country and noone will be sorted out socially!", part of the speech of our Chancelor last week...
She forgot say this too: "... noone will be sorted out socially if he/she has enough - saying much - money!"

Nice joke if I wouldn't be the one of those without .... :tumb: :tumb:

Matthias Ex- :capt:

Website updated .... :xcite:

A great turn! A Knight and then a Baron in a summer season...Wow!!!

So when do we find out what injuries everyone got?

And can Injured Master's and Commanders accept posts at lower ranks for instance or is this like being yellowed?

once recovered he can apply for M&C and below as normal, IF he had command for 3 months or more as a M&C . :capt:

I was curious about that, too — is it up to the player to discuss his injuries, or does the word get around regarding what parts are lost?

I would hope that the GM can inform him he lost an arm, leg, eye etc. he then could choose the side and go from their I suppose? :unsure:

Hi both,

if you read the last issue right you would know in detail what happened to JWK and his Aide (just a few lines above the ----FIN--- of Red's part:

"However, I regret to inform your Lordship
that aboard HMS Ferocious Rear Admiral
Kerr and his Aide Lt Jackson were both
seriously wounded, with Rear Admiral
Kerr having his right arm amputated and
Lt Jackson having his chest crushed by a
falling yard."

Matthias Ex- :capt:

Thanks Matthias but it doesn't tell AM how his close friend SAM got on...

Ash

Oversaw that... :(
You're right, if that happened in fight somebody should have seen that and report it to the times! :type:

Can you tell us what happened to everyone or maybe an NPC like the Clerk to the Admiralty could tell everyone in character?

Ash :)

That would be Andy's job since he knows all the facts... :type:

Matthias Ex- :capt:

I gave the nature of the injuries to the players with their character sheet, so they would have the chance to roleplay the details if they wanted. I've just posted about SAM's injury - a facial wound. John Jackson has a spinal injury, and Admiral Kerr had his right arm amputated.

Cheers Guys it helps with the roleplaying...:)
