So, my Traveller game is underway, and it's even more pirate-themed than I'd expected.
Since I hadn't given any restrictions to what careers the players could use, we have one full-fledged pirate on the team and another who's a general thief. The other guys are navy veterans, so they've unwittingly (I think) cranked up the pirate quotient of the game, which is all to the good, since that was the way I was going to take the campaign anyway.
So I'm busy liberally stealing inspiration from the Caribbean, real life pirates, Jimmy Buffett lyrics and any pirate adventure I've ever enjoyed. This is good, since it forestalls me having the Planet Express and Heart of Gold crews show up.
But in the interim, I need a religion for some of the characters of Aramis subsector to belong to, mostly for the purposes of calling out for divine intervention or wishing horrible things on their enemy. I'd like it to have at least some roots in either real-life Caribbean beliefs, cinematic takes on piratical beliefs (like Davy Jones) or at least a nod to real-life sea gods (I've been pulling the names for planets and moons from Greek sea gods and goddesses, for instance).
Any suggestions?
