Mess and Malnourishment: Seabourne Illness and Naval Rations For Your Fantasy Game
Ah¸ yes¸ sailing the high seas in search of adventure! How does food and rations work¸ though? In most campaigns¸ the use of magic or some other situation solution that comes up in a fantasy campaign usually solves the problem… or does it? What happens when the wizard is slain? What if magic doesn't work in the world? What would the crew face in a real situation¸ not unlike the ocean going sailors in the late 17th century¸ where more sailors died from the conditions of sailing as opposed to naval combat? Mess and Malnourishment provides optional rules that impact crew performance under the published 5e sailing rules. It provides for the effects of Scurvy¸ Beriberi and Pellagra¸ as well as a ship's quartermaster's provision log for standard naval rations in the Forgotten Realms.
