Ok everyone, before we begin I'd like to discuss two things with you. First, would you like me to set this game in Faerun or my homebrew world?
Second, how do we feel about black powder/gunpowder?

(1) I am indifferent about the setting of the game.
(2) I am for the use of black powder, to make this game very interesting.

I feel the same as chief.

I agree with chief & bigdogg!

I agree with everybody else so far, question though, would Prestidigitation cause gunpowder to go off?

Changed my mind. Let's go with Faerun as Remus wants to play a game set there.

@coachthor. Depends on what you do with it. If you make a spark then I guess it would, yeah.

What kind of ship is this? Is it like a cruise ship or a trade ship? Does it make sense for them to be transporting prisoners or slaves in Happy's case?

Merchant ship. Absolutely not! Slave trading is illegal all along the Sword Coast! If Happy is being transported as a slave then you have no knowledge of it.

Hurray for getting started! Thanks Arina! Are the crew mostly human? Or a mix of races? Could you describe the captain a little bit please?

Yes. The crew are mostly human.

Captain Sars is a bald middle-aged man who wears a horse hair wig who seems to act like a bit of a prig. If you have money then he's your best friend, if not he doesn't seem to care if you live or die. This wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't lost all of his teeth. He wears wooden dentures that look and smell awful. Do you have any specific questions regarding his appearance or anything?

That's perfect, thanks!

Does this include clothes or were we stripped down to our skivvies?

You have your clothes and up to medium armor but your heavy armor would have been removed.
