A Game of Bones - No News on Sequel yet but working on it
« on: 29 June 2013, 04:15:21 PM »
Hi Folks I am hosting a Pirate gasme this coming tuesday but to wet my players appetites we launched Shed Wars TV with a trailer



Over the next few days I'll be adding to this thread...

Here is the background story

A Game of Bones

St Marks is a small island situated south west of Barbados in the West Indies. Since wrestling control from the Spanish five years ago the Island is now in British hands and matters of state are overseen by Governor Sir Martin Nash.

Aside from the small production of sugar cane shipped through the port of Spencer’s Landing the island is best known for its resting place of the famous Conquistador El Mark del Boyes. This soldier, adventurer, cum missionary died of typhoid whilst on route back to Spain. It is believed that his earthly remains were interred somewhere on the Island.

Legend has it that El Mark del Torre had discovered a fabulous treasure once belonging to the Aztec king Primancoatl. With Del Boyes’ death and his ship being lost on route back to Spain the treasure has passed into the tales of folklore.      

The story moves forward, whilst making repairs to the wharfside in Spencer’s Landing, workers discovered a sea chest containing amongst some old clothes and an old diary belonging to Del Boyes’ priest, Brother Rodney. The messages within the diary confirmed that the Aztec treasure was indeed no myth and that the Conquistador had indeed intended to return to Spain with this fabulous wealth. The diary went onto report that del Boyes’ treasure was buried with the warrior.
