Crossbones Opera Book 1: System Core

Introducing Crossbones Opera: The Golden Age of Reckoning, an immersive roleplaying experience set in an alternate history Golden Age of Reckoning where Napoleon has conquered and united Europe into a singular empire. In this gripping scenario, players step into a world where Imperial powers have intentionally unleashed plague and disease to decimate indigenous populations, all in their ruthless pursuit of gold and the establishment of colonies with plantations worked by enslaved people brought from Africa.

But in the face of this oppression and cruelty, a daring rebellion emerges. Pirates, consisting of the remaining indigenous peoples, escaped enslaved people, and sympathetic Europeans, take to the high seas. Their mission: to fight back against the colonizers, aid all people seeking freedom, and provide unwavering support to indigenous communities.

The heart of the tale lies in the pursuit of hidden treasures – the golden cultural artifacts that indigenous communities concealed to protect their heritage. As pirates, your crew must embark on perilous quests to locate these treasures before the ruthless Europeans can get their hands on them., these quests are undertaken when the very communities that buried the treasures have been tragically wiped out, leaving behind only cryptic clues and enigmatic legends.

Amidst this tumultuous backdrop, safe harbors await those who dare to defy the colonizers' rule. These hidden sanctuaries are operated by a diverse coalition of indigenous people, escaped enslaved people, and sympathetic Europeans who offer shelter, supplies, and crucial aid to the pirates.
