Interest Check: Supernatural or Pirates or both

Hello. I have noticed a lot of games on here centered around the werewolf apocalypse, Pathfinder, Star Wars/Trek, and others, but very few supernatural games or pirate based ones.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested either a supernatural game that included vampires, werewolves, demons, angels, and witches?

And/or a Pirate based game?

They would both be freeform games as I am not really familiar with different systems other than Vampire the Masquerade, 1st edition as that is what I used to use when I LARPed.

Anyway, let me know if any would be interested in either one of these...shoot we could even possibly come up with a whole new genre and combine the two ideas. Thanks for reading. :)

I know you said it would be free form but if you were looking for a good alternative set of rules for. Vampire etc that has all, the supernatural elements you are looking for with a simple system take a look at Liminal..... It's a great game

All, the best with this one if you get it off the ground though... Unfortunately free form isn't my cup of tea

Supernatural pirates, you say?

You might want to look at On Stranger Tides (1987) by TimPowers. Disney incorporated elements of the novel into the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film.

Apparently Liminal no longer exist on here. Thanks for the info. This is just an interest check. If I don't get any interest, then I will move along. No worries.

It is an idea. Not really wanting to look into anything, just trying to see if anyone might be interested in a game with these elements. Are you, interested?

I think supernatural games with a blend of character origins like that come up every so often, freeform pirate games probably less so. Freeform socializing games in general are usually a pretty good draw for players. Either way, I'd take a look if you do put something together.

I love the idea of a pirate freeform, but thinking aloud I think you'd need to consider the setting closely.  If everyone is crew on a ship then you'd need to think about how much freedom they'd have to do their own thing.

A pirate island / town could be a wonderfully evocative setting but you'd have to watch out for people deciding to clear off on ships and things because then you have people not engaging as part of a world.

Adding supernatural elements is interesting, I can see the appeal of a 'Pirate Witch' island but if there are lots and lots of options you may lose some focus.  Even so, I think you are onto something different and interesting.

I would be interested in supernatural but not pirates.

I have played a pirate supernatural game in the past and it was enjoyable.

Yes, there would be a pirate town and more than just Pirates. I ran a game on yahoo groups and it went well for a while.

Looks like there is some interest in both a pirate and supernatural games, but not necessarily combined.

Okay, I will give this another few days to see if anyone else might be, then decide what I want to do.

Anyone else interested in either idea?

Actually I think I'm good with supernat/pirates as long as the pirates aren't utterly evil. i.e  No rape/murder/torture...

I am always interested in freeform supernatural/fantasy games. And I love pirates.

I'd be interested regardless of whether it's a supernatural game, a pirate game, or both.

As long as it stays freeform and no censorship beyond the RPoL ToU are imposed.

Well, it looks like I have a few interested people. I will work on putting something together this weekend as I have a 3 days weekend. I will let you all know when it will be ready. I think I will try a supernatural pirate game and see what happens. If it turns out to be too much, then I will either split the ideas or do away with one. Thanks everyone.

I won't have too many rules outside of the normal ones, but I will have a must post at least once a week rule. I don't like slow games. :)
