[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9029984, member: 54629"] [I]Riverdale[/I] is based on the old Archie comics. [I]Pirates of the Caribbean[/I], [I]Black Sails[/I], [I]Our Flag Means Death[/I]. Those are the main recent pirate franchises. Not too sure about secret agent, but the 007 and Mission: Impossible franchises are still going, and then there’s stuff like [I]Johnny English[/I], [I]Kingsman[/I], [I]Assassin’s Creed [/I](and with [I]AC: Black Flag[/I], you’ve also got the pirates theme covered), and so on. Also anything with Jason Statham in it. You’re going to have to ask your players what they like, though. Maybe ask them individually or stalk their social media and see if they’ve liked any specific movies or tv shows that might give you some inspiration. [I]Ghosts [/I]presents a pretty decent framework for a sailing campaign. It gives you a fleshed out starting town, an opening adventure that can gift the party their own boat and HQ, and some decent rules for generating your own seafaring stories and scenarios. It even has rules to give PCs and NPC crew members things to do on a ship. [I]Golden Vault [/I]is themed around heists, but I think most of the adventures could easily be tweaked to be more about secret agent stuff. You’re not there to steal a thing but rather gather information or whatever. It also gives you the basis for a party patron in the form of the eponymous Golden Vault organisation. Eberron is a good setting for both pirates and secret agents, and the 5e Eberron book introduced the party patron mechanics, one of which is a state spy agency (e.g. the King’s Dark Lanterns). I think Tasha’s includes some more generic rules for party patrons as well. [/QUOTE]
