This book of the Bon Aventure series focuses on ships and sea travel. Generally speaking there are five types of employment for ships: Fishermen, Merchant, Pirate, Navy, and Adventurer (Privateer). A ship might have an owner/Master or owner’s representative with a hired Master aboard, or the Master himself is the owner’s representative.
There are seven sections of this book. First the players make their characters (PCs Player Characters). Then they select a ship and fill out a crew with the background characters (NPCs Non-Player Characters). Then next section is for provisioning and cargo. Then theplayers select a destination, the navigator plots a course, and they set sail. If they meet hostile ships they must fight to survive using the Combat Section. The last two sections contain ship templates and navigation charts
