Overarching structure looks fine as a storyboard but it would take some significant player buy-in to keep it on track all the way...

Where I think both can work, or be made to work, quite well. Might be edition-dependent, though, to some extent. I know I could make...

Maritime campaign in general, then; neither pirate nor naval necessarily, just focused on the sea, the ships on it and the conflicts...
