How did pirates start fires if matches weren't invented back then? Did they use a flint striking tool or some other method ? I need pictures if anyone can point me in the right direction! Thanks!

My 13-year-old son wants a pirate-themed bedroom. My wife and I have a lot of ideas, but have not settled on anything yet. I thought I would ask the crowd -- any input? Please do NOT post photos, unless you think we cannot find them. Trust me, we've found plenty (As examples, I will post one or two for you to enjoy), as we have scoured the Web. What we are looking for are good suggestions. What would YOU do? We are NOT going to replace the windows with portholes, and he still needs a bed (sorry, a hammock is impractical), but anything else is possible. What say you?

Just curious. I"m a major Jimmy Buffett fan. Contemplating trying to buy some overpriced tix right now. A Pirate Looks At Forty By: Jimmy Buffett 1974 Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall You've seen it all, you've seen it all Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder I'm an over-forty victim of fate Arriving too late, arriving too late I've done a bit of smugglin', I've ru…

I haven't posted for awhile. I see some familiar faces and some new ones. An interesting change is all the threads dedicated to writing in some way or another. As a writer that's pretty cool. Alot more posts on reenactment too. Well hello all.

It's been quite some time but I used to be a regular here. I'm from Southern New Jersey. Several members were helping me in my attempt to bring a pirate fest to my neck of the woods. Mr. Pat Croce, owner of Pirate Soul in Key West and major pirate buff has a local connection in my town. He is opening a second Pirate Soul store here. I would like to get an email to him or the appropriate person in his organization describing the festival and asking for assistance in getting our town to allow this fest to take place. No financial assistance, strictly some help in brainstorming. I could approach him when i see him in town taking exercise but that seems innappropriate. I woul…

It came to me yesterday, (while on an adrenaline high) that while we mostly carry cutlasses and various other bits of sharp steel about our persons, there's only a few on this forum that have said they actually fight with said weapons. So I'm curious: what kind of swordspersons have we out there? What styles, what training, and which preferred weapons? Being as it's my question, I'll answer first. My serious sword work started 25 years ago in the SCA. Things have changed a lot, but I still play with them. It's the only place I know I can go and fight for 6 or 7 hours with a large pool of opponents. I prefer hisoric styles, and train and fight mostly out of Silver's…

As I was busily carving my way through the second draft of my pirate novel, I realized that several of the characters sincerely needed name changes. Thought I'd toss it out here - any suggestions for 1. a Spanish female pirate who needs a "real" name plus a piratical variation of that to go on her wanted posters 2. the male villain I really want to come up with something that has not been overused, and if anyone gives me the perfect name, I'll credit you in the book if/when it is published. The story is being written as "a legend" so it need not be all that serious of a name. Thanks!

The website for the Pirate Soul museum is up and running now, it had a few glitches last time I checked it, but i'm sure they are working on it. www.piratesoul.com The museum is opening tomorrow, I was to attend the pre-opening, but I'm not sure if I will be able to or not now. I'll try to get some pictures when I can for everyone. It looks like a very cool museum. Deadly Aim

does anyone else here ever fantasize/romantisize about living in the days when pirates sailed the seas, when life was much simpler; no cars, phones, computers.... When a man ran his household and the woman stayed home to take care of her husband and children AND liked it! No worrying about credit card bills, mortgages, car payments, electric bills, insurance..... I guess I just need an escape from reality once in awhile! My best way is to read some historical romances, especially ones involving pirates! I just finished an amazing one, where a rogue pirate captured a beautiful woman who was swimming in the sea near her castle, even though she was told to stay away from …

Admiring her ring and such a locket, My mind was to gettin' it, right in me pocket. The good laird forbid I be gettin' caught, For they would find all the booty and lot. So as I eyed this wench and her shine, As in sooth I wished it to be all mine. It gleamed too well for her sweet chest, And would suit asure my own fine vest. - Hook

This is along the piratical lines. The Sunday after Thanksgiving I found a cockatiel outside of my house. Now mind you I am in Maryland and it was a bit chilly that day. I had heard some bird noises from outside all morning but just chalked it up to that maybe there was a bird just outside my son's bedroom window. It wasn't until after lunch that my son wanted me to see the "bird's nest". The nest was actually the mess in my gutters that need to be cleaned. I did happen to look down and saw a white ball. I thought it was a dove, but when I got closer I noticed the yellow on top. I ran in to tell me other half about the cockatiel. He said I should try to catch it.…

I'm known as Robert "the Sea Wolf" Studley. I was born in 1672, and brought to America by my parents when I was small. We came from a tiny village in Scotland with hopes of a new life. My Mum and Pop got ill on the voyage over and died shortly after arriving in Carolina. I was raised by a kind Shipbuilder and his family. My nickname came from my fiesty nature. I was always getting into trouble and would rather spend my days out on the ocean than around the house. I worked on the docks for several years enjoying the tales from the Ol' Salts. One evening I was knocked over the head in a local tavern and awoke on a British merchant ship. Relunctantly I worked on the ship w…

New Proprietor - Bloody Buckets

Bloody Buckets is CEO of a web development and hosting company Gray Sail and the organizer of an authentically-costumed 20+ pirate crew in Columbia, South Carolina... and a suscriber to NQG since before it was cool. He's been more a listener than a poster on Pyracy, but he's a very strong supporter of the concept and appreciative of what the forum has accomplished in terms of turning many small groups of relatively harmless pirate geeks into something truly large and dangerous! The Pub will keep its close association with NQG. Here's Bloody Bucket's message to everyone: Just a quick note to let you all know that the Pyracy Pub will remain in friendly hands. Mostly …

I went to Burger King to buy myslef one of those Spongebob watches that they are selling for $1.99 (I am a HUGE fan of Spongebob Squarepants!) Ok, the first two I went to were sold out, then I was able to try 7 more, and all sold out! So now I am really obsessed with getting one (you ALWAYS want what you can't have! I went on ebay and they are selling for about $20 apiece! What is the deal?

A person in our group just posted to our personal forum in PRP, claiming that she prefered to do the Ojai faire as opposed to others, because partying was allowed into the late hours of the night. Now I couldn't help but respond with: I don't go to events for the 'party' afterwards. I go and have the party all day long entertaining the guests. If all a person goes to an event for is the party afterwards, you're in the wrong group for the wrong reasons. So my question here is to those of you who do events, do you do it for the fun of the event, or for the partying afterwards? Rumba Rue ** ** P.S. You can't see the PRP forum unless you're a member, sorry. Them's…

I am right now in the process of making a web site that. Will give info on as many ren fests as possible in my home state (MO), and I also wanted to add a page onto the web site once it is finished, for a club..a pirate club. I want it to be open to anybody like me that lives in or near the the state of Missouri that enjoys the heck out of going to Ren Fests. So that IF someone goes to a ren fest they can meet up with someone that hopefully they have already had the chance to chat with. lol needless to say I might not be able to make it to all of the ren fairs we have going on if the club gets up and going. But I thought it would be nice to get to know some people that go…
