I'm going to shameless introduce my book, The Bryant Family Chronicles: Death and Gold in Zara Zote. The book has multiple storylines -- one in the present and one in 1715. It's not your typical pirates and a treasure hunt story. Its got lots of great reviews and is a 2011 winner in the Readers Favorite Awards. You can find out more at the website: www.deepseapublishing.com. I'm working on Book 2 and Book 3 now. I'm actively looking for material for these books. I look for Pirate legends and mysteries to weave into the storylines. This site looks like a good source for characters as well. I'm excited about this site find and look forward to going to some o…

For anyone who is connected to me on Facebook... It has become obvious that I have been pretty interested in miniature wargaming in the last many months.... And for those who aren't linked to me... Well I have been painting and collecting a lot of 25mm (1 inch) miniatures over the last many months, to tabletop wargame with. As one gets more involved in a hobby (or at least I do), new forums regarding that hobby are sought and joined etc. etc On one tabletop miniature gaming forum I am reasonably active on, SteamPunk (Or "Victorian Science Fiction" as they seem to persist in calling it, or VSF for short) is a pretty popular style for tabletop miniature gaming... But late…

A while ago I took note that there are wikis for such piratical things as the One Piece Manga, Pirates of the Burning Sea and Pirates of the Caribbean Online MMORPGs as well as the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but no Wikia for the subject of Pyracy itself, so I took it upon myself to start building a pirate wikia for all things piratical. Unfortunatly, I don't have the time or expertise to make the wikia everything I hoped it could be. I don't have enough computer savvy contributers as well. As a result, the wiki is only worked on when I have time to spare and reference materials at hand. I am therefore asking anyone who considers themselves a pirate scholar to…

Right so I posted in beyond pyracy about a text based chose your own adventure game called Choice of Broadsides for Android since it wasn't pyratical. This game however is, now as a disclaimer its a clone and not as good as the original but pretty fun any how. It's being developed by two dudes and isn't finished yet but it is up on the Android market and its free. Also it is a relatively small file so it shouldn't eat up to much of your phones memory.

This is a recent interview with 80's Icon Adam Ant. During his interview, he has a slight resemblance to a character we have all come to know. Additionally, the interviewer brings this subject up and he reveals that he is the "true and 'real' original."

I got a sneak viewing of the movie last night. It was good. better then 2 and 3. It drug on a little long and they butchered Blackbeard...Ian McShane did fine but they should have stayed away from the historical pirate...Even the flag was wrong. All in all the movie was fun. Go see it. Have a blast. IMHO the first 20 mins in London were the best. I for one am already looking for a Mermaid to call my own!

Hi all, I have been doing a blog for a little while that has a pirate / living history theme to it. There is a little of everything from comparisons of today's pirates to those of the past to Disney POTC items, and even other aspects of living history. Instead of putting up a new post every time I post an entry, I thought I will just put them here in digest form and add to the list as new ones go up. If you are linked to me on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, I also send out links on those three sites. I hope you enjoy some of them.

Set your DVRs for May 8 at 8 pm as National Geographic tells the story of the rise and fall of the Wickedest City on Earth, including a 3-D recreation of the city at the time of Henry Morgan.

Probably a lot of us played with lego pirate sets when we were younger, I still do, and the new PotC line may be a reason for reinvigoterated interest. Who else is excited? or has thoughts on the matter?

Hey, I saw the new action figs for POTC4 in Wally World yesterday. They have large scale (about 8" I'd guess) and small (about 3"). The large figures looked pretty nice - Jack, Gibbs, Blackbeard, Barbossa and Angelica. I picked up Gibbs as he was the best of the lot IMO. (Barbossa has a truly odd-looking hat that actually made me laugh when I saw it.) The little figures had some sort of feature where if you got them wet or something the faces turned white and ghostly-looking. I forget what they called it. There were also some mini-packs with a figure and several large accessories. I believe there were 2 different kinds: one with blackbeard and two cannon and another wit…
