LadyChaos Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I want to write up a Flying Dutchman style ship--maybe something like O'Brien's HMS Surprise or a 17th C. pirate ship. I know how to add in the powers and such for the other aspects, but what about base specs? I can't find info on sailing ships anywhere in either my Champs or Pulp Hero books. Does Ultimate Vehicle have this info or maybe something in FH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Tall Ships, Tall Sails Probably Ultimte Vehicle. However, you can always just handwave it. It's a boat, it sails around. It probably costs a (pun alert) boat-load of cash. (Sorry ) What else do one really need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Tall Ships, Tall Sails Plenty of details about sailing ship construction and handling in The Ultimate Vehicle, including a few prebuilt examples; but there are more writeups for different type of tall ships in the Vehicle Sourcebook. Unfortunately I don't have access to that book now, so I can't say for certain that the type of ship you're looking for is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Ultimate Vehicle have this info or maybe something in FH? TUV, p.61 has a Triteme, p.62 has a Viking Longship, p.63 has a Galleon. VSb, p.108 has a Brig/Brigantine, p.109 has a Caravel, p.110 has a Carrack, p.111 has a Clipper Ship, p.112 has a Cog and a Curragh, p.113 has a Felucca and a fluyt (misspelled flute) which continues to p.114, p.115-116 has a Frigate, p.116-117 has a Junk, p.116 has a Ketch, p.117 has a Pinnace, p.118 has a Sailing Yacht. I don't see anything in FH, TurAge, ValAge Yeah, not all are gonna fit, but I thought I'd give the whole list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Tall Ships, Tall Sails "p.113 has a Felucca and a fluyt (misspelled flute) which continues to p.114" Not misspelled, just a variation. I have also found fly-boat, fleute, fleutschiff, flute hollandais and fluyut in a brief glance of my references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
