Privateers and Gentlemen is a role-playing game published by Fantasy Games Unlimited in 1983.

Description

Privateers and Gentlemen is a historical system set in the swashbuckling "Age of Fighting Sail".[1] Half the rules ("Promotions and Prizes," 32 pages) are role-playing, half ("Heart of Oak," 40 pages) are for naval miniatures, and a third book ("Tradition of Victory," 32 pages) is a historical sourcebook for the period.[1] The player characters' abilities are skill-based.[1] The game includes a detailed section on creating believable NPCs and a GM's screen.[1]

Publication history

Privateers and Gentlemen was designed by Jon Williams, and was published in 1983 by Fantasy Games Unlimited,[2]{{rp|74}} as a boxed set with a 40-page book, two 32-page books, a sample character sheet, and a cardstock screen.[1]

The Jack Tar miniature for 19th century, Age of Sail (JT01-JT014) was produced by RAFM for Privateers & Gentlemen.[3]

Reception

Lawrence Schick comments: "The game is very strong on historical detail for those sailors who are in the Royal Navy or are English privateers, but weak for other nationalities."[1]
