Here be a grand game indeed, free but must play online - two bad as it would be a fine one for download. Pirate's Dice - Liar's Dice, just like in th' movies: http://www.thepiratesrealm.com/games/PiratesDice.html VERY well done, Excellent graphics, simple but Effective sounds. It plays very well and CAN be beat; ye plays against Turner and Jack, ye signs yer name t' th' third player. It plays very smooth, here be a few hints I have fer ye: Turner is a horrible liar, Jack is quick t' declare another a liar and gets frustrated if down t' just ye 'n him...play conservatively and ye just may save yer soul. If not, then it be - T' DAVEY JONES' LOCKER WITH YE!!!

I always had a suspicion that my big black trunk was in the movie "The Greatest Show On Earth" and lo and behold it was! I just caught the movie last night and there it was in a scene where a guy was throwing clothes into it. It was a very quick shot, but I definitely saw the lid and the decor around the edges. I originally bought the trunk at a thrift store in L.A. and the guy had just put it out and told me he got it at the MGM auction years ago, but had no idea if it had been used in a movie or not. Well now I have proof which makes the trunk a whole lot more valuable. Rumba

You have seen sails on both the Eastern and Western horizon. Both sets come toward your island. Although you can investigate both beaches you will only meet one landing party. If you choose the Western beach you arrive to see the Dutch return. They appear in two long boats and make for the western shore of your island. They appear heavily armed with muskets ready. Both long boats are full of naked African slaves chained together. Wisely you hide and watch the long boats arrive. The slaves are roughly ushered out of the boats and released from the iron fetters that bind them. A barrel of what looks to be water is also placed on the shore line. The Dutch sailors s…

You discover strange Dutch sailors on the beach near your camp. You have decided how to interact with them. If you call out and approach them they turn quickly and give each other strange looks. You get the feeling they thought the island was uninhabited. One of them speaks to you in broken Spanish motioning for you to join them. The rest give you greasy smiles. Then you see that they have a nice set of rusty iron manacles and loaded pistols pointed directly at you. You decide to make a quick break for the tree line. You hear a pistol shot and feel the sting of a bullet as it cuts into your back and the base of your neck. You take one wound (remember maximum of t…

If you choose to flee the Boar charges you and manages to gore your leg with its tusks before you escape. You take one wound. If you fight the Boar and have a weapon you manage to kill the brute but take two wounds in the battle. You also earned yourself a pork meal (BACON!). If you don’t have a weapon you take two wounds and the Boar flees (tough Pirate!). Remember you can only take three wounds before dying and you arrived on the island injured with one wound. If you retreat and return with a plan to trap the beast you flee but the Boar manages to gore your leg with its tusks before you escape. You take one wound. You then circle back, dig a pit, fill it with sh…

As I promised last week, here are a few photos of the Dr Who Exhibit currently showing at Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery. After all that I had heard,I rather expected it to be half decent.I was disappointed. They could have done so much better. I took 200 pictures but because of lighting issues and only having a cameraphone, I have only uploaded 90 or so images to my photobucket album. These are just a few of the pictures that are at ..... Dr Who Exhibit I hope that you enjoy them.

Some Dr Who photos? There is an Dr Who exhibit on at Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery at the moment. I am going to the museum, this coming Monday (29/06/09), to get some better pictures of the muskets and pistols that I posted earlier today. I was just wondering if there was any interest in seeing whatever photos I may be able to get on the day.

You bid farewell to the Indians and return to your campsite to look over your treasure. Lady Pirates who attempted to seduce the Indians find themselves with a bonus item after a few moments of beach romance. The Indians promise to return if you did not resort to violence or threats. If you did they glare as they leave and you get a feeling of foreboding. If you took the twelve steel fishing hooks you discover that catching fish is much easier and you constantly have a supply of food. If you selected the healing elixir you find that the Indians did not lie and that it will heal two wounds (you need not use it all at once). If you selected the flint and steel you ca…

After adopting your animal companion and returning to your camp you discover the true nature of the beast. The green parrot speaks a few words of French and is very adept at finding fruits and nuts on the island. He calls out something that sounds like “Je Tem” when happy. The parrot also seems to be good look out and will squawk when something dangerous approaches. The mongrel dog is loyal and intelligent companion. She has a good nose and appears to be a natural tracker. The dog will defend you and can take one wound that you would have taken in a fight or encounter. Of course by taking the wound the dog will perish. The tan and black monkey is a little devil! …

I'm a gamer, and have been playing Sea Dogs and then PotC with the pirate gaming community mods applied (pirate as in Pyrate, not those that steal software). I'm eagerly awaiting Pirates of the Burning Seas which is an MMO based on the GAOP. I've played World of Pirates, a German MMO that is rather simple (much like the old Sid Meirs game) but sometimes fun (PvP is ALWAYS on!). Anyone else here fancy the occasional forray into the waters on ye computers?

I have FINALLY gotten my kids into the Playmobil pirate toys. Looking at the boats/ships, I have noticed that most are obviously variations of the same molds. This one sure looks to be based on a sloop: It is just missing the topsail and the second jib. What do ya'll think about these:

For about a year now, we have fluttered with the idea of doing a special edition of Pirates Magazine all on steam punk. It started as a brainstorming idea with Charles Vess(the artist behind stardust) during Faerie Con 2007. The idea evolved several times and we decided not to do it as an issue of the magazine but as a bonus that would be more of a book. We are still in the early stages of this, but it is going to happen. We feel Steam Punk is growing in popularity and the extent that people go to put together there personalities is out of this world and worthy of attention. If you want to get onboard with us, now is the time. We want the best of the best and are willing…

After the tidal bore empties from the cave you go in search of the other two items but find that they must have been carried out to sea. Regretfully you return to your shelter clutching you remaining piece of treasure. Once back you can investigate what you choose in detail. If you choose to take the silver candlestick holder you discover it is indeed solid silver and weighs in upwards of three pounds. It is well crafted and looks like the type found in homes of royalty with detailed floral patterns. You estimate that if you sell this item in Port Royal it will keep you in drink, food, and pleasant company for at least four months. If you choose to take the rapier y…
