The Bag of Pirates is 1 ft x 1.5 ft and opens to a large portal to a water-plane, Atlioulus, where pirates abound, sailing in galleons, barques, xebecs and more. A crew of up to 20 pirates can be recruited to crew a ship (when opened for first time by a player). Once recruited, the same crew will answer to their captain’s call. To call the crew (1 action), the captain says the name of their ship and, “Crew, weigh anchor.” N.B. If crew members die, no new crew members can be recruited.
Player rolls a d20 to see how many crew members answer the call: 1 — no crew; 2-5 — five crew members; 6-10 — ten crew members; 11-19 — entire crew; 20 — entire crew + extra action (crew roles/positions can be found in various sources; i.e. DnD’s Ghosts of Saltmarsh)****y creatures from Atlioulus can enter and exit the bag.
The Crew:
Creatures are small to medium half-humanoid, half-beast (if desired, one can use the Bag of Tricks beasts chart for randomized beasts) and cannot wield magic. Players can choose, when using the crew, to give their earned xp to crew members that answered their captain’s call. Barbarian class is available to Atlioulans. If they are a 1st-time crew a standard build would be:
STR 10 (+0) DEX 10 (+0) CON 10 (+0) INT 10 (+0) WIS 10 (+0) CHA 10 (+0)
Proficiencies would be appropriate to their class and position.
For random selection (of crews that aren’t full, player can number their crew members 1-20 and roll a d20 a number of times to see which crew members answer the call).
Notes: Attuning to the Bag of Pirates allows a character to call for a pirate crew., Teleportation, Container
