Aaargh! RPG

Apr-22-11 17:34:32

Ahoy, mateys!

After a "Pirates of the Caribbean" DVD marathon and playing Facebook's Mighty
Pirates, I have decided to run a pirate game on Day of Fudge (June 4, 2011)!

I will be using two excellent Fudge Factor articles:
1. Naval Combat in Fudge. http://www.fudgefactor.org/2005/09/nava … fudge.html
2. All for One, and All for Fudge! http://www.fudgefactor.org/2002/11/01/a … fudge.html

But I need some help, me hearties... I need some ships!

Can you design some? It can be purely descriptive or with stats, as long as it
details the ship, quirks and all. Of course it needs a full crew too - from
Captain to Cook! current/big_smile

I thank yee.

Do you want standard Age of Sail ships, or are you planning on piracy set in a different era*. Moreover, what do you need from ships on a mechanical basis?

*Because if you drag it back a bunch, I can bring in the Alchemquest ships, which are easy enough to design. Kayaks, catamarans, long canoes, rafts, and other similar boats make up most of the stuff in that setting, none of which fits the standard Age of Sail.

Though Age of Sail was I had in mind, anything can happen in a pirate rpg! current/wink

Do send some of your Alchemquest ships, Knaight. They will add "character". current/smile

I could use an example ship or two to know the specifics of how you want these modeled.
