I like the idea of a shared campaign with rotating GMs. Everybody makes a couple characters, and they're all crew on a ship. One person GMs and adventure on the island, and the rest choose a character to be part of the 'aweigh team'. Then after the short arc exploring the island and completing whatever pther missions there may be, the next GM takes up the mantle and the original one becomes a player. It should help everyone learn the rules together, and prevent the burnout which 'forever GMs' often feel. It's more of a 'West Marches' emergent story than a PC backstory-focused drama, but that's closer to how most games ran in the early decades of RPG gaming.

this is a lot of fun.. could be a quick campaign of island hopping adventures, make a few islands in advance and punk on the map as needed.
