The card game played in the third S&S module, Bastard's Gambit I think it was called, seems to have a SERIOUS flaw in it, one that my players discovered and abused most heartily.

The module says that the winner of each hand has to drink a shot of rum, per the Port Peril rule.

So the PCs simply folded over and over and over again (never losing more than their 1pp ante each time) until Goldtooth passed out from too much rum.

That seems like a big hole in the rules of the game. What were the game developers thinking!?


It's stated that Goldtooth isn't affected by the rum he's drinking.


as bzali said he can drink like a fish and is never affected by it.

(bottom page 10 says he can drink but it never affects him just makes him sneer more)
