Hmmm...what pirate themed adventures would you sail into? Treasure hunt? Island adventure? Head to head with an infamous pirate hunter? Surviving the coming storm? Something else?

I've started the week by polishing the “Making Voyages” section for Brethren of the Coast core rulebook!
One of my favourite parts of the design is creating different voyage types, Survival, Lead Hunts, Social Intrigue, and Sandbox routes, each with their own structure.

As a big fan of Christmas, one of my many rituals I've started over the years is to watch an episode of the ever great Tabletop everyday. Thanks @wilwheaton.net and @felicia.day, every day on the run up to Christmas. Great games, great guests and a great time!
