Pirates IV: Pirates in Space
Coming soon...more details. (Aren't you intrigued?)
Your fabulous Pirates narrators...(Indurain, Alarra and Atreyu, the masked llama) would like to welcome you to the newest incarnation of this excellent game!
This game of Pirates will be based on Firefly and taking place on Serenity.
It will be running simultaneously with Ye Olde West, and various aspects of the games will interact with one another. More details about this overlap will be forthcoming.
Over recent months, the alliance has become more and more concerned with the small smuggling operations occurring throughout the galaxy. They have taken many steps to wipe out smuggling entirely. These actions have successfully decimated the economies of numerous outer planets. Something must be done. Captain Malcom Reynolds of the Firefly class ship, Serenity, has called a meeting of all of his associates, friends, and even enemies in crime. He tells you that it's time to put aside our petty differences and unite against the alliance threat before we're all wiped out. You and many others like you, from all across the galaxy converge on the ship. Unfortunately, even the best kept secrets are usually leaked and several alliance spies have sneaked into the gathering as well.
Roles:Spoiler
Crew:Spoiler
Captain Malcom Reynolds – Baner (member, mason group 1) – each night phase Captain Reynolds can choose to protect a guest of the ship from alliance interrogation.
Captain Reynolds is the captain of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity, upon which all of the action in this game will take place. He is fiercely loyal and protective of his crew.
Zoe Washburne – Lover (member, mason group 1) – Zoe and Wash are very in love, when one dies, so must the other. When voting for the same target, their vote counts as 3.
Zoe served under Captain Reynolds in the unification war, and continues to serve under him on Serenity. She is married to Hoban Washburne
Hoban “Wash” Washburne – Lover (member, mason group 1) - – Zoe and Wash are very in love, when one dies, so must the other. When voting for the same target, their vote counts as 3.
Hoban ‘Wash’ is the wise-cracking pilot of Serenity. He is married to Zoe.
Inara Serra – Voider – each night phase, Inara can choose to spend the evening with a guest of the ship. This stops them from being able to use any night-time ability they may possess.
Inara is a Companion, a high-society courtesan licensed by the Alliance. She is a part of the social elite, often accompanying the wealthy and powerful.
Jayne Cobb – Fool – Jayne thinks he has everything figured out and can smell an alliance pig a mile away. He’s can’t. Each evening he can search for alliance spies, but his observation skills are rather lacking.
Jayne is a mercenary, who is often contemptuous of those around him. He is a man of action and surrounds himself with an arsenal of the best weaponry.
Kaylee Frye – Mechanic – Kaylee is adept at fixing items to continue running, even when they oughtn’t. Each item she possesses is able to be used twice, rather than only once.
Kaylee is the mechanic of Serenity. She is extremely adept at what she does, and fixes everything with a cheerful smile.
Dr. Simon Tam – Life Saver – Dr. Tam’s vote counts as -2.
Simon is a gifted surgeon that is working as a medic on Serenity in order to keep his extremely gifted sister away from the alliance.
River Tam – Seer – River’s psychic ability allows her to adeptly hunt the disguised alliance.
River is a highly gifted girl, who after the Alliance subjected her to numerous experiments has become unstable, as well as psychic. She is on the run from the many alliance seeking her.
Sheppard Book – Day Baner – Each night Sheppard Book may choose someone to protect on the following day.
Book is a preacher, who provides frequent spiritual advice for the crew of Serenity. He has a mysterious past, and on numerous occasions has demonstrated a depth of knowledge one would not expect a clergyman to be familiar with, including space travel, firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and criminal activity.
Smugglers: -Masons group 2 (5)- A group of smugglers who are well acquainted with one anothers.
Team OtherSpoiler
These particular characters all have a vendetta against someone else on the ship. The only thing that matters to them is eliminating their nemesis. Keep your eye open for shady behaviour.
Saffron – A crafty and seductive con artist, who uses numerous aliases. She briefly became Mal’s wife, under false pretenses.
Bester – Bester was the original mechanic of Serenity. When it was found that Kaylee had greater knowledge of engines than he, he was fired.
Badger - Badger is a criminal, but views himself as a business man and better than other smugglers who don't have a base of operations. The crew of Serenity will at times run jobs for him.
Adelai Niska – A major crime lord, known for his enjoyment of torturing those that displease him.
Stitch Hessian – Stitch was once Jayne’s partner, until Jayne pushed him from their craft while leaving a job. Stitch has never forgiven Jayne for this.
Tracey Smith – Tracey served with Mal and Zoe in the war. He has angered some Alliance men and is on the run.
Mr. Universe – A reclusive cybergeek known for his ability to broadcast anything anywhere.
Nandi – A fellow companion friend of Inarra’s, Nandi runs a brothel on an unnamed outer world.
The AllianceSpoiler
-members of the alliance will begin the game knowing one another.
Hands of Blue #1 - Devil
Hands of Blue #2 – Devil
- The hands of blue are a pair of men searching for River. They will go to great lengths to retrieve her, and are deadly to all that cross their path. They have some latent psychic ability that allows them to search for hidden crew members.
Atherton Wing – Alliance voider – similarly to Inarra, he can monopolize an individual for an evening, preventing the use of their power.
A nobleman that frequently engaged Inarra’s services.
Dr. Mathias – lover
The Alliance doctor responsible for many of the experiments to which River was subjected.
Jubal Early – lover
A bounty hunter, seeking River and Simon.
Lawrence Dobson – An undercover alliance agent that has sneaked onto Serenity previously.
The Operative – An agent of the alliance, charged with hunting down River Tam.
Rance Burgess – The richest man on an unnamed border planet, Burgess runs afoul of the Serenity crew when he attacks a brothel that Inarra’s friend Nandi runs.
Lt. Womack – An alliance member of an organ smuggling operation, he is searching for Tracey Smith.
SmugglingSpoiler
Everyone on board Serenity (except for the Alliance) will have the option of smuggling various products between ports. You can choose from 4 different items to smuggle, each varying in risk and reward.
Medicine – 1 gp
Food – 2 gp
Weapons - 3 gp
YOW Credits – 4 gp
You will be smuggling these items from port to port. If you manage to go undetected in your time between ports, than you will receive the reward listed above.
However, there are two government officials who are looking for smugglers. Each night they each get 1 scry, and if they find a smuggler, they confiscate their goods and impose a fine equal to the reward listed above.
As an added bonus, if you successfully smuggle the YOW credits, you will receive 3 YOW credits for that game.
You can PM the narrators at each port to state which item you will be attempting to smuggle. You cannot try to smuggle something if you don’t have enough gp to cover the fine should you be caught.
