To summarize the above image, if we reach $10,000 raised, everyone who backs the All Print Zines tier will also get a free CD of the 40-minute Wrath of a Thousand Suns soundtrack!

Back it Here, we've got one week left!: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thomasz/wrath-of-a-thousand-suns-a-funnel-crawl-for-pirate-borg

This experimental adventure will land on DriveThruRPG and itch. io in just a few weeks.
If you’re up for hosting a Halloween Actual Play, send me a DM. I’d be happy to arrange a preview copy in time.

The reason I ask is because they make it seem like it’s something they do for settlements, but I don’t remember seeing it in any of the books except Trapped in the Tropics.

Before anyone asks, YES. I know it’s all up for interpretation, and that I’m free as the GM to do what I want with it, but I thought I’d at least see other examples in other books. I don’t know if it’s an idea that got abandoned, something that will be expanded on, or something they put out into the aether for GM’s to dig into. Personally might do this:

Population: higher population means easier recruitment/more likely to get a skilled crewmate

Defenses: higher defenses means harder (but more valuable) to fence, harder to get away with crimes.

Wealth: d100 x 10/100/1000 ect. available to buy cargo, items available to purchase.
