Types of Cargo

[aravain]

Does everyone stick with the book for guidance for types of cargo that are available? If not, what are some interesting ones and what was the worse cargo (besides its crew) that you carried? So far, in T20, we were forced to carry 20 tons of elephant manure for some noble just to make our monthly payment on the ship. The role playing of the customs inspection kept us on the floor for almost an hour!

If you want more cargo ideas then pick up a copy of BITS 101 Cargos. Their books are very good and imaginative.

 

[Shadowdancer]

I second the nomination for 101 Cargoes. Good resource.

[soloprobe]

Oh I forgot , Let's check the manifest

 

[Shadowdancer]

I think those frogs are destined to become froglegs served at the wedding of the Archduke's daughter.

 

[soloprobe]

Hey! I found the Manifest! Those frogs are going to a Confectionary, in the Vargr Extents. They're To go in something called : "The Crunchy Frog"

Why do I picture literally thousands of those little tree shaped air fresheners hanging from the ceiling of the cargo hold after doing such. Or perhaps the noble then requesting that you haul 20 tons of toilet paper back to where you originally started from.

I can see the crew of "Roarke's Drift" spending their hard won profits on a load of Air freshener/ Febreez-5700! Whew!

or freshly scented Vorpal Bunnie Pellets....

Vorpal bunnies...dangerous critters. Good thing the Church of the Loony Emperor is cranking out Holy Hand Grenades for me! I'd hate to think what would happen if I only had my trusty snub revolver when a small horde of those entered the throneroom! There's not enough nobles at any one time to shove in front of me to defend myself!
