FAQ
Does this generate ship names?
Not directly. The crew name often works as a ship name too, or you can reroll the crew name slot to find one that fits.
Can I use this for river pirates or sky pirates?
Yes. The structure is crew-based, not ocean-specific. Change the tone and setting context to match airships, riverboats, or spelljammers.
What is the navy nemesis section?
It generates a knightly order name representing the military force hunting the crew - a built-in antagonist for pirate campaigns.
