If you don't want to see spoilers about the POTC movies and other pirate pop culture media, then I suggest you do not visit this forum. There will be spoilers posted. There are many other forums to visit here at the pub such was Captain Twill, Plunder and Raids. There are many pirate pop media in circulation at this time. This forum is a place where people can converse about these. The posts may contain spoilers. I will not censor for spoilers. Read the posts at your own risk. Yers in pyracy and play,

Has anyone else watched Boundless on Amazon Prime? It's about Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano's 1519 voyage to circumnavigate of the globe. Way too early for the Golden Age, but nautical history all the same.

July 9th marks the 20 year anniversary of the theatrical release of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and the subsequent launch of the film franchise! While it’s rapidly approaching, I’m still trying to plan something to celebrate the occasion. Are others planning anything? If so, what? Please share any plans, thoughts, and/or ideas you might be having; or feel free to discuss your memories of seeing the film for the first night, what influence and/or impact the film (or franchise) has had on you (good or bad), etc. While the 9th is a Sunday and a work night for most of us, I’ll likely be kind to me neighbors and not do anything too extrav…

So I've been giddily excited for this game for years - am possibly the only person in the world who played AC: Black Flag FOR the sailing and nautical combat rather then in spite of so a game built specifically on those mechanics sounds delightful to me. But then just found this gem of a trailer with a "shanty" they had written just for the game, that is hands down an absolute bop. Any other games pirates frothing at the mouth for this to come out already around here?

From Rome to Ragnarok, he’s been a Viking, a Pirate, a Musketeer, and much, much more! But he will perhaps be best remembered by most of us here for his portrayal of Blackbeard on Black Sails. Requiescat in Pace to Ray Stevenson who left this world too early on Sunday at only 58 years of age. Cause of death has not yet been released.

Hi folks I'm currently working on a Airworld for D&D 5th RPG but it could be a Standard Fantasy world, it's a world were the Landmasses are flying in the in orbit around the core at different levels in the Air. The Wooden Ships are made out of Timber that floats in the Air due to the Sap in the Wood. War and Trade are done in the Air since there is no Standard Landmasses, LW

I found a copy at the Dollar Tree, so I couldn't pass it up... Silver Return to Treasure Island by Andrew Motion An Adventure of Jim Hawkin's son Jim, and Long John Sliver's daughter Natty who return to Treasure Island to search for the last of the loot.... Written in the style of Robert Louis Stevenson, it was a fun read, I just wish it had a better ending... Oh well it was only $1.

Quite by accident I discovered the at least part, if not all of the British Masterpiece series: The First Churchills is on Youtube! This series follows the life of John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. Great costumes!

Watched a really wonderful period film entitled "Belle" last night. While outside of the GAOP it really deserves a viewing. the story is about a mixed race girl born to an officer in the British Navy who he takes back to England to be raised as his heir by his uncle. In is set at the time of the Zong Massacre. Might be a little tough to find on DVD but very enjoyable.

I picked up Black Sails, season 1 on DVD. I was able to watch the first episode early but other than trailers had not watched any of the show. Despite many historical, equipment, and costume concerns expressed by the community I found the show very captivating! Very exciting, well, acted and very, very well written. Many episodes depicted a tension you could feel as you watched the show. Deep plots and with lots of exciting characters. The battles at sea were intense! If you have a passing fancy for action and adventure with a piratical theme give the show a try! I have been told that we will be able to enjoy at least 3 seasons of Black Sails. Anyone else watch…

Remember it? Pretty good song! First appeared on their "Works, Vol. 1" album in 1977. Here's a video (with some fun images!): Here are the lyrics: Who'll make his mark The captain cried To the devil drink a toast We'll glut the hold With cups of gold And we'll feed the sea with ghosts I see your hunger for a fortune Could be better Served beneath my flag If you've the stomach For a broadside Come aboard my pretty boys I will take you and make you Everything you've ever dreamed Make fast the guns tonight we sail When the high tide floods the bay Cut free the lines And square the yards Get the black flag stowed away The turk the arab and the spaniard Will soon …

TREASURE ISLAND (2012) Directed by Steve Barron. Featuring: Eddie Izzard, Toby Regbo, Rupert Penry-Jones, Daniel Mays, Philip Glenister, Donald Sutherland, Elijah Wood, Shirley Henderson, Nina Sosanya, Geoff Bell, Shaun Parkes, David Harewood. Rating (from 1 to 5): 2 Most adaptations of Treasure Island have stuck to well-charted waters, with low risk and low reward. Steve Barron strikes out into unknown soundings, which makes for a more exciting voyage at first, but ultimately he strikes a reef and sinks. Stevenson’s story is still there in outline. Young Jim Hawkins finds Captain Flint’s treasure map, evades the pirates who are look…
