Thanks. Now since I will be getting only one I have to rethink of what to use my money for. I bought a rapier and shield for close range along with the pistol and ammo which comes out as around 60 gold or so out of 200. I'm thinking I should get a Potion of Healing or two with the rest....
A preliminary map has been placed in the first post. It is deliberately left as lacking as possible because YOU will have to explore it. A first wave of explorations and diviners have managed to map out the general shape of the island masses and the rivers but nothing else. The type of terrain, any pathways, or even location of peoples is unknown. The expedition advances in from the North-East and will have a randomized beachhead.

Expeditionary Logistical Tracking is now available on the first post. I have spent the last several hours researching realistic expenditures with a few liberties towards animals and plotted consumption and supply.
Agriculture and Foraging provide bonuses to Food and Foodstuffs, Agriculture will take longer to set up but provides better long term bonuses compared to Foraging.
Construction provides no bonuses except towards the industrialization and construction of buildings which is necessary for the production of manufactured goods and potable water (which is passively tied to Industry for now).
Exploratory provides no bonuses except towards cartographic resources and discovery of threats.
Guards provide no bonuses but are necessary as a protective source.
Sick provide no bonuses and instead draw a greater amount of resources.
Husbandry provides a variety of subtle bonuses. They can be slaughtered for additional food and to reduce the drain on Water supplies. They can be used to power Industry and Agriculture which improves the rate of return in those fields. Eventually they can breed and add to their own if they survive.
The starting Manpower can be added to with each additional expedition that arrives or through natural birth rates. Losing Manpower early on can quickly lead to collapse. Protecting the people is a necessary precaution if anyone wants to survive.
Firearms, Gunpowder, and Cannons are not part of the daily consumption. Anytime a battle takes place between the settlement(s) or is requisitioned, the limited supply decreases permanently. Once it runs out, there is no more supply if natural resources have not been secured and industry set up.
Seeds are a limited resource, they are required for agriculture and can be subbed in for Foodstuffs for animals.
Additional Changes will be implemented for Industry and Construction.

To keep things nice and organized, I will be making a new thread for the campaign itself. From here-on this thread will be delegated to OOC and non-IC posting. The Expedition will be departing in approximate 12 hours. Still waiting on a character sheet for our Gunslinger Kenku.
Additionally, a Campaign Log has been attached to the first post which will relay a summary of Daily and Weekly reports for the Campaigns progress. Important Characters, Locations, and Events will have their own separate entries as they arrive. At this time, five major characters have been made publicly available with a loose description of their roles and appearance to the fleet. Each one is considered vital to the fleets morale and security, should a member die, it can have far reaching implications. Additionally, they are members who have enough standing or positional power to seize control during an emergency and most likely comprise the First Council that is founded on the mainland.
Gotcha
So is there a way to set up a flintlock pistol for my character sheet? I can't get it to let me make a custom weapon.

Alright, I think I know everything I need to know now, thanks a lot for putting up with me.
So I've chosen two pistols and a musket, as well as a rapier, plus six sets of balls and powder, and two set of blessed silvered balls and powder.

All these gunslingers, and here I am sticking with my old bow and arrow!
I'm guessing that we are tracking ammunition here, so I'd best stock up on a few quivers worth.
Bring out your inner chatacter class...
I still have a light crossbow for true long range...

One thing I don't think people with firearms have taken into account: you can't resupply yourself very easily.

Ditto.

Well, actually, we can make bullets as long as we have any metal, since we have a forge cleric. The Artificer could also make them, but not as easily.

Well I can help slightly with food and water usage since my Warforged doesn't need to eat or drink.
