Talk like a Pirate Day Game

[Sir Brad]

for Talk like a Pirate Day We finally got to use our new Book 9's, the GM wanted something serious but ended up with "Bodacious Space Pirates", he used the early enlistment option pulled from somewhere and randomized character genders, only Guy character but he couldn't make it, only one character made it past their first term and they where the long lived Minor Race Human who made it to her 2nd term. having only four players that made it the GM stuck us with a Book 2 version of the Cobra class for TNE (Challenge 75), we have a Exec class robot loaded with Pilot, Navigation and Engineering and a Valet robot with Seward (JTAS 5). we had two Troop character characters with Gunnery but they couldn't make it

much fun was had but the adventure was not completed so around mid day local time we will start again to try and finish it.

The Adventure is done, I may post a rundown along with character back stories and character updates in the Adventures section where they belong, but some Musings

why didn't they include the original Type P and Type VP it's not like there would have bean a Rights Issue, also I believe the Cobra Class was designed in house for the adventure Wolf Snare for Challenge 75, it would bean easy to whip up a Book 2 version of it.

we are braking for a meal then likely back for a follow up session, or it could just turn in to us chatting till we've had enough and go our separate ways.

The base Type P is mentioned, but not detailed.
The P and VP actually could involve a rights issue, as the oldest plans for both are DGP, and there would be little point in detailing them without art and plans.

 

[Sir Brad]

The Type P is from Supplement 4 Citizens of the Imperium (GDW '79), the VP is from Alien Module 3 Vargr *GDW '84) both for (Classic) Traveller and pre-date DGP only issue is if they used the Deck plans or GDP Art for the VP.

Not pirate talk but, I found out that things can almost turn really ugly when you as a young waitress where the head (bathroom) is. Thankfully her boss was an old Navy man.

could not decide to like, laugh or be shocked at that one. all 3 I suppose - funny how words, meanings and things change over the years. Some for better, some for worse. But life is change. Been around enough military people to know what a head is at least

I added bathroom to explain. Them term head is used by the Navy and Coast Guard.

well, Anne Bonny, Mary Reed and Irish Pirate Queen Grace O'Malley are just a few of the notable female pirates who "used the head", which was sitting over/off the ship's bulkhead to care for their needs.

And I seriously doubt any pirate ship had a waitress, young or not, unless she had been kidnapped from some other "much higher class" ship. And, I am certain that if such a woman had been taken from another ship, "going to the garterrobe" would have been the least of her worries. Someone of the service class would not be worth a ransom, and would then only serve "other needs" among the pirates. So, "if" she lasted long enough to have to worry about a bathroom, she'd likely not have any clothing left at all, nor any reason to worry about covering her modesty.

FYI,
In a recent game plot point, my players had boarded a pirate craft with Imperial troops, to find they had female prisoners aboard.
Here is the write up:
While Jocelynn did that, Mikah moved on, into the compartment where the women were sitting. They reacted with fear, seeing someone armed and in unmarked combat armor move into the space in an aggressive stride. Mikah's view of them, quickly shifting through various modes, showed women who'd suffered badly. She could see they'd been badly beaten and bruised and bet herself there were some broken bones her med-scan would turn up. And, she was certain there had been sexual and other assaults which she'd find written into their damaged tissue when more scans were done. Willing to bet the pirates they were arresting had been involved, that would depend on an investigation.

Apparently, open toilets still exist.

If it's an issue, you can install curtains, shower or otherwise.
