We need a Dungeons & Dragons - type game design expert to create a pirate adventure game. The premise is: A boy has a near death experience (or dies) but begs to be sent back. The angel sent to carry him to heaven relents and allows the boy to return to his body but warns he may not end up at the same place in time. When the boy awakes he's on a raft in the Caribbean Sea being chased by pirates. This story is book one. The Curse of Captain LaFoote: [login to view URL] For book two, Dead Calm, Bone Dry, the boy is being transported in an old wooden ship to Port Charles to be tried as a pirate. He's writing a letter to his mom, hoping that somehow the letter will reach her across 300 years of time. (The letter explains how he came to be living among pirates.) A cellmate whispers a secret message to Ricky Bradshaw suggesting the boy can find his dead father (Ricky's dad left when the boy was 5 and died in a truck crash soon after). Ricky doesn't believe it's possible, but the cellmate, William Shakespeare, tells him all things are possible for those who believe. “Shaky” claims to have sailed on the Flying Dutchman; a ship crewed by the dead. At his trial Ricky denies being a pirate but admits he knows the location of a mysterious island where a large stash of gold is rumored to be buried. The commodore in charge of the hearing thinks the boy is lying to save himself. Ricky is found guilty and sentenced to hang. As he's standing on the gallows with the noose above his head he decides to take his chances in the sea, runs and jumps from the fort's parapet. He sinks to the bottom. When he comes to he is hanging over a fire pit with cannibals waiting to eat him. Earl the Butcher, a man who deals in body parts, arrives to transports Ricky to an undisclosed destination. Before Earl’s crew can steal Ricky the cannibals attack. They escape and arrive at a pub in port. There Ricky meets an old ship mate (Turtle Bill) who demands Ricky take him to the mysterious island. Turtle Bill uses a girl Ricky likes (Rebecca: the governor’s daughter) as leverage, threatening to harm her if Ricky doesn't lead him to the gold. But Bill doesn’t have a ship. Ricky has to steal a ship, but the commodore owns the ship Ricky takes. On board Ricky finds orphaned children, boys and girls without parents: just like him. Turns out the commodore is into human trafficking. Ricky escapes with the kids, Turtle Bill, Rebecca, and they sail into the night pursued by the commodore's fleet. Ricky is the only one who knows the location of the island but his main quest is to find his dad and reunite his family. So.... can you improve on this plot and make a great pirate adventure game from what I've started?
