Well, I do say that, if we're pirates, space or otherwise, I feel at some point there should be opportunity to have duels with rivals/nemeses. Preferably with cutlasses. Not sure where that fits in, but I feel like it's an idea worth having in mind.

Also, the mention of magical space pirates made me wonder if we want to do a Spelljammer sort of thing with this. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I thought I'd mention it just in case people did happen to be agreeable to it.

I have heard of the Spelljammer setting before, and it sounds like a lot of fun. Magic Space Pirates (who can be good or evil, let's not limit ourselves) gets all my votes.

I've heard of Spelljammer too. I don't know much about it, other that there are ships that run on Giant Space Hamster on wheels (like the one Minsc from BG allegedly has) and that planet systems are like bubbles in some sort of... thing.

Sounds like it could be fun. We'd have to ditch all the rules tho, and most of the D&D baggage.

May i join ?

Of course. We haven't hit the player cap yet

[Kadzar]

Yeah, I'm only suggesting we make it Spelljammer-inspired. From what I recall reading about it, the eponymous spelljammers in the setting required mages to run them, but having magitek systems instead might be preferable. Or the ship might not be so technical and might instead have sails and hull and such made of magical materials or in arcane shapes or covered in runes.

It could be a combination of things, depending on the kind of physics we're talking about. Real-life universe analogue? (galaxies and star systems and vacuum and gravity and stuff), weird mythological cosmology planes with crystal spheres and phlogiston... or maybe something like that Treasure Planet movie with the floaty asteroid ports and things.

If the space physics are weird, spaceships may not even need a lot of magic handwavium to get flying. So, that's the next part, fleshing out that kind of thing...

[Sirus]

Treasure Planet was a cool way of doing it. The ships looked like, you know, actual sailing ships and little things such as how they breathed or traveled FTL were handwaved away.

[GentlemanRaptor]

I like the idea of magitek ships, especially with a special sort of wizard-pilot type of thing.

You know, there's a lot of pirate roleplays out there. Especially space pirates.

Why not space ninjas?

You know, there's a lot of pirate roleplays out there. Especially space pirates.

Why not space ninjas?

Hmm. Space ninjas as for-hire mercenaries that destabilize planetary governments?

[Xeron]

Why use something so boring as *space-ninjas* ?
How about terrorist organization that uses manipulation and espionage ?

[GentlemanRaptor]

Hmm. Maybe. What does everyone else think? Pirates, ninjas, or terrorists?

[Sirus]

Pirates for magical space ship shenanigans!

[Fniff]

I'm still voting space ninjas.

[Carnwennan]

I'm interested, but damn you exams! ptw and maybe join when I'm free, if there's still space.

I hear FATE is incredibly anime?

[Sergius]

You guys already got me hyped on pirates tho. Fniff, are you planning to join?

[Fniff]

Well, I'm already in a pirate game, so I might be a little pirated out...

[GentlemanRaptor]

I vote for the magitek space pirates.
