Ideas for the Letter of Marque Campaign

Please respond with your ideas and let me know if you like this idea.

I’d like to make this year’s campaign about money. That is what all good pirates, buccaneers, and privateers are all about isn’t it.

I propose that the relevant score be the monetary of the ships you beat up on.

Denomination = Treasure Point (tp)

Income

1. Warships
a. Value of the ship = 1 tp for each burden point
b. Value of equipment = 1 tp for each undamaged hull box
c. Bounty for a sunken ship = 1 tp for each burden point only
2. Merchant Ship
a. Value of the ship = 1 tp for each burden point
b. Value of equipment = 1tp for each undamaged hull box
c. Value of cargo = 1 tp for box reserved for cargo
Expenditures

1. Hull Damage: 1 tp repairs 1 hull box
2. Crew Replacement: 1 tp recruits 1 crew box

Repairs to half of the hull boxes each ship’s log starts with can be repaired for free

Merchant ships are exactly like warships except:

1. Half of the hull and crew boxes are covered to represent space used for cargo
2. Cargo spaces take up the left-hand boxes and effect the way the ship operates just as damage does.

The richest scoundrel wins

Use 2016 rules except as indicated above.
