The record keeper obv needs to be the paymaster/treasurer as well, maybe he could also be some form of letter writer for the less educated on board the ship.

@Hour Error I was going to suggest the same. If the quartermaster has to report to the record keeper for provisions and things, she would also need to acquire the means to purchase them from him as well. I would assume that both would be present during resupply runs or the acquisition of goods from markets or ports.

I would simplify the title to Treasurer because they obviously keep a ton records.

I've been adding a few images in the discord for suggestions on what sort of ship/vessel we will have if anyone wants to have a peek. I didn't want to throw a bunch of images in here taking up space.

Man, I'm turning into a jack of all trades.

That's what you get when you make a literate dragonborn-
Not miffed, just laughing. I don't mind covering multiple roles, it's quite fun, and reminds me of a time not too long past.

It makes a fair bet of sense I think, as I imagine on an Age of Sail ship, most crew-members could at least passably fill many rolls.

Also, being a doctor was mostly having a sharp knife, so clearly it was a great system.

yes. V is quartermaster, gunsmith and weapon maintenance, as well as jailer if that sort of thing arises. Only because prisoners are considered to be cargo/take.

I did not want to do this. Simply because I have way too much on my plate and don't want to hold you folks up. Please bump past me if I take up too much time.

Hey everyone,

In order to set up physics for the RP, by "Space" we really mean an alternate plane, like a Plane in D&D terms, or similar that is spacelike in terms of appearance with planetary bodies and stellar bodies, but rooted in a medieval or ancient understanding of space. We're way away from hard Sci fi here and I thought it best to clarify that.

Edit: The Astral Plane, basically, Medieval concept that explained space in more theological or mythical terms than anything.

Does this mean a sailor can walk the decks of a ship, while in "space" and breath air? Gravity?

Yes. It is more like the Astral Plane in a sense, than actual space. The ship has a power source (working on the stub) that powers what generate the gravity and atmosphere. There is limited power in these for weapons systems, atmosphere and gravity. Depending on how the ship moves, it draws power that takes away from speed. For example, turning, diving, ascending, moving in any way besides forward per the bow. Magicians can also draw considerable extra 'juice' from these power systems, so movement that conserves this 'fuel' is prioritized.

Also, the distances are not like Space as we know it. Stars and planets, sure, but not as we know them in space.
