Ahoy ya @West Marches Player ! Commodore Tyler here to christen the maiden voyage of the Dark Caribbean West Marches Campaign. If you aren't signed up for a game, or you're new, scroll up to see how to join and create a game. The year is 1715…and a dark year it has been for these once warm waters. What all pirates already know:

• The Spanish and English are in a constant state of war! The battle for the Greater Antilles rages on with no end in sight. Both sides are recruiting privateers. They pay in advance…

• Port royal has been destroyed in an earthquake thousand are killed, more are homeless…

• To the west mysterious ruins are discovered on the Yucatan. Scholars mount an expedition, but none return…alive.

• Nassau has been SACKED! "The Republic of Pirate" has been established. This is the region’s first true democracy.

• The dead walk again! Rising from the grave and sea. At first only a few, but then hordes soon follow.

• The remnants of the destroyed undead are found to have physiological and psychedelic properties. They call it ASH. A black market has developed around its consumption. Tortuga naturally becomes the epicenter.

• Meanwhile religious fanatics have takin over the Old Stone Church in Havana. An occult influence is speculated.

• "The Abyss" opens south of Jamaica! The ocean now falls into the darkness of a 6-mile-loong fissure. The climate has shifted, the sky permanently darkened. Storms rage and a foul mist is omnipresent…

Welcome…To the Dark Caribbean. It is now the Winter of 1715 Word in the taverns has spread quickly:

• A Spanish treasure fleet has shipwrecked off the coast of Florida. Nations and pirates are now on the hunt!
