-Originally formed in the 1990s with a couple of players who had been captured by Zakharan slavers, but who managed to free themselves and travelled 'home'  across Zakhara.  During one of the last phases of the adventure, they captured a ship, and rather than claim a share of the Bounty, agreed to let a couple of NPCs run the ship as a business.  Then FFTC became a tool for the next couple of game groups - which both included the original players.  Over the years, something more than a dozen PCs have held 'shares' in FFTC affiliated companies and organizations.  These include Alfonse, Belle, Berwyn, Flower, Zona, Drea, Meriloss, Sean ap Bernd, Gagak, Caleb, Adaltrude, Owaddry, Diomedes, & Continh - and I think there were a couple more that I don't have a note of.+Originally formed in the 1990s with a couple of players who had been captured by Zakharan slavers, but who managed to free themselves and travelled 'home'  across Zakhara.  During one of the last phases of the adventure, they captured a ship, and rather than claim a share of the Bounty, agreed to let a couple of NPCs run the ship as a business.  Then FFTC became a tool for the next couple of game groups - which both included the original players.  
  
 The FFTC appear in most of my paper-based and NWN settings and will, apparently, survive for millennia, as a variant appeared in my Traveller setting as well.  The PCs normally see a general store that services a small town or village, that buys raw materials (Furs, uncut gems, natural magic components etc) and sends them for export.  However, FFTC often run the small ships that link the frontier to the larger world, and sometimes runs the frontier port itself. The FFTC appear in most of my paper-based and NWN settings and will, apparently, survive for millennia, as a variant appeared in my Traveller setting as well.  The PCs normally see a general store that services a small town or village, that buys raw materials (Furs, uncut gems, natural magic components etc) and sends them for export.  However, FFTC often run the small ships that link the frontier to the larger world, and sometimes runs the frontier port itself.
