Heists on the high seas are a fantastic idea, up until you realize you’ve stolen a ship that has no provisions for a voyage. The glamorous life of a swashbuckling adventurer – starving to death on an empty boat.
The crew of the Fantoma Reine will have to come up with something truly impressive to get out of this scrape…

Another fun listen.
Only comment i can think of is in regards to the storytelling scene. Instead of telling the players to roll wits, ask them to describe how they tell their story, and then base the trait used off of their description.
I.e. the sword dancers tale is a perfect example to roll storytelling+panache. Because panache is pretty much doing anything with style and flair, its also commonly used by some as the social trait, but it all depends how you approch the social situation. A more reserved story, focussing on details and accuracy might be using wits.
Also when players spend drama dice, they do go to the gm. You also might want to be careful with the npc rolls, it sounded like in the friendly punch fight on the ship, the npc was automatically gaining raises, only brute squads auto get raises, cause otherwise henchmen would be way too powerful.
Hope that all helps.
Sure thing, thanks for the reminders!
