  1. Spends a lot of time in disguise and lurking in the shadows 'cos every time he goes out someone tries to kill or capture him. Might be something to do with running off with a large amount of Suebian government money? Still, his actions may well come back to bite him in his exquisitely tailored backside.

  2. Couple of ideas to float - 

    Make all combat roles opposed, speeds things up a bit.

    Have a look at the 'Swashbuckling' skill from Pirates and Dragons and especially the use of Doubloons (read Hero Points) which can be fun especially if you upgrade the number of 'Black Spot' Doubloons.

  3. Might be fun to combine bits of Pirates and Dragons (and indeed Dark Tide) with the Elizabethan penchant for letting your Navy be run by privateers like Walter Raleigh (their habit of trying not to sink ships so they could plunder them made decisive naval battles difficult).

  4. Just to add one idea that I had running K&C for clockwork weapons, especially the smaller ones like pole arms was to have something similar to a spare battery, in that the spring and key mechanism could be unplugged when wound down and a ready wound one slotted back in, kept the clockwork soldiers on a par with the alchemists and witches for powerful stuff. Of course if you have a backpack full of tightly wound springs and it takes some damage the consequences of them unwinding all at once might be interesting to watch, from a distance.

  5. The knack for finding trouble is built into all PCs, let them discuss the problem or situation at length, come up with numerous cunning plans, debate at length again, decide on the most complex and fragile strategy then fluff the dice rolls!

    Or you could go for the simple plan - If it moves hit it, if it is still moving after that run away 'cos it must be undead.

  6. The journal tend to be multiple sessions as we are remote gaming and they tend not to go as quickly as the face to face sessions do, also real life interfering somewhat at the moment so I tend to save it all up for one big hit every few weeks.

    The chase scene with the cross dressing Crimson Jack actually lasted most of a session due to me laughing so much at the excellent roleplay by the characters, i just let it run and run!
