I played in a pirate game at an HMGS reunion once. There was a similar
system. One event I remember vividly, parot poops in captains eye, falls
to main deck, may not do anything this turn. Not applicable to Full
Thrust,
but adds a good deal of humor to a game.

I also played an AWI game that had a chart of 200-300 things that ranged
from minor to major. The person rolling doubles( we used 2d10) picked
any
battalion on the field of battle and rolled(the chart was 50/50
good/bad)
for an event. There were horrible results like unit CO angry with
C-in-C,
refuses to follow orders, unit does nothing except fire on any unit
fireing
on it. There were minor things like "all troops had double liquor
ration,
+1 morale".

Charts like these made good convention games and a little
unpredictability.

Just my rant of the day. (OK, one of my rants for today)
