I decided to do it the simplest and closest to the rules way: the longboat is lost :D. That's not much of a deal and was a fun event.

Just for information (and in case it gives an idea to others), I'm tracking the crew with blank cards filled with their information: it's easier (and more fun/visual) to manage them, to group them by specialities depending on the events and regroup skill checks (like all the guys with soldier + ammo, or put doctors cards on the top of the guys they are trying to heal, etc.). I've uploaded a picture on bgg, waiting for moderation now.

Also doing something I find convenient for random crew selection by throwing 1D20 + 1D6. If the D6 does 6 I choose the target, else I trust the D20 or rethrow if it's invalid. Counting the position based on the way the cards are currently aligned on the table.

I think a digital version would be a killer. It would streamline all the book keeping and would let the player entirely focus on events and choices. If I was still young with free time I would propose to try, but that's not the case so I'll just hope someones does it one day... :D.

Hey! Got very interested into your game by looking thedungeondive video when it was released, bought it and printed it at that time. I started my first expedition two days ago and noticed somthing unclear: how many sets of longboats the expedition has? One or more? Because I reached an hostile village with them, had to flee leaving the longboats in the center of the village as an unexpected present and I can't go there anymore.

Also, if you want to change your ship position, you may want to leave your longboats where they are without doing an expedition to get them back on board.

Three possible fixes:

- we consider the ship has as multiple longboats (infinite? Or we have to buy them at the start of the expedition?)
- we consider we have only one set, if you lose it, too bad, you still have your feets
- you can build new ones by spending one full day in a jungle

What do you think? For my current game, I hesitate between infinite longboats and the fact they are gone forever...

I would love if it was possible to give orders while the pause is on, like in FTL.
