Theme

Discovering the Forbidden: Some secrets should remain hidden?

Style

Quasi-realistic, Pulp-style Action, with a bit of Monster Hunters flavoring. "Mystery-Thriller," not "Investigation."

Central Tension

Since the end of the War of the Quadruple Alliance in 1720, relations between Britain and Spain remain strained to the point of near-conflict, and will, once again, tip over into "limited" warfare in 1727. Or, at least, this would appear to be the Central Tension in the region, to the unaware…

Expectations

  • Expect to encounter wildly-improbable underground "puzzle" architecture.
  • Expect to encounter "real" supernatural creatures and events, both friendly and hostile.
  • Expect to occasionally face opponents you can't possibly defeat in combat, and must outrun or outwit.
  • Expect that you might have to surrender and be captured, due to the previous point.
  • Expect to occasionally have to operate outside your existing skills and gear.
  • Expect campaign rewards to come with strings attached.
  • Expect some naval combat (though probably not until you have a better ship).
  • Expect your ship to potentially be commandeered/pressed at some point by His Majesty's Navy.
  • Expect to upgrade the ship at least once.
  • Expect to be caught up in wars and rumors of wars.

Intended Features

  • Skill Challenges
  • Simplified voyage logistics, possibly using Action2 "Mission Planning"
  • Investigations using MH2 "The Hunt"
  • Sailing moments: day-in-the-life; mega-storms; racing; others…
  • Action! moments: coach chase, others…
  • Aggressive negotiations
  • Jungle survival treks
  • High-stakes scavenger hunting
  • Going (more) mad
