Out Of This World

So in case some of you are wondering what your character might be doing on the ship, this site has a list of roles and duties that members of a ship's crew may do. Sympathy has taken on the role of ship's captain since she has prior experience and she will be doling out jobs to anyone who asks. Otherwise, characters may simply choose to take up certain roles if you'd prefer. It would be hard for someone to get away with completely slacking off on the ship, since all of our characters are needed to man this vessel safely.

That's not to say that there's not leisure time, though. Most of the bunks will have at least one or two decks of cards available. There is a chess set on board, as well as books in a small library. And of course, there is Rum. Lots and lots of rum.

The kitchen is well stocked with canned foods and other dry goods that are made to last for months at seas. There is salted pork and hard tack (tough, long-lasting biscuits) as well as a few live chickens, some meant for laying eggs and some kept aboard for fresh meat.

If you have any questions or would like us to choose an assignment for your character, please let us know!
