I'm considering making a table-top pirate game. I say "considering" because I'm infamous for rarely ever finishing these projects. Does anyone remember the board game 'Risk'?, I'm thinking along those lines, but with ships and so on... If anyone has any ideas or other input, that would be grand. And if I do actually make it, I'll write it all up so you can print it off and play it with your kiddies or if you havn't got any, make it a drinking game, every time you sink a frenchman have some rum. (or a bacardi, if you're one of *those* people) Edit: forget I mentioned Risk. think more like monopoly, you start with some money, buy some ships, kill some things, get more s…

A few days ago, I acquired a copy of John Steinbeck's Cup Of Gold, which claims to be about Henry Morgan sacking Panama. (I also got a Virginia Woolf play illustrated by Edward Gorey, but that's going off topic.) Anyway, I was wondering if Cup Of Gold was good enough to warrant bumping to the head of my reading-list. Or is it merely okay and should wait its turn like all the other books all over my floor?

I just looked at the new disney catalog, and they have some REALLY cool stuff. theres a potc leather jacket, some figurines made from the original drawings, and a wall display like the talking skull you see on the ride. and if anyone remembers that prototype jewelry box that was on ebay, they have the finished one in there, its got the portrait of the redhead on the top. also, since this is the halloween issue, they have the new jack sparrow costume, but i must say, the simplicity one tops it! you would think they would be able to get their own characters costumes right...

I'm curious to know often are the props in the Depp film the real deal? I know that in P1, johnny's pistol was of late 18th century vintage but others were replicas. I also saw some recent photos of Depp & Rush with aincient accoutrements like belt buckles and I am curious to know if they are the real thing. Seems to me that there is plenty of finds for antiques, though I would imagine, not cheaply procured.

POTC 2 & 3 Rumors I just made up... * Due to personal health reasons, Gore Verbinski (director of the original Pirates of the Caribbean film) has resigned as director for the remaining POTC sequels. In his place, Disney has hired Kevin Smith (of “Clerks / Jay & Silent Bob” fame) to take the helm. * After days of hiding from the media circuit, Orlando Bloom has finally admitted that he truly doesn’t know what the difference between a wood elf and a pirate is. * The title of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie will not be "Dead Man's Chest" as so eagerly anticipated. Instead, the theatrical release will simply be known as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Wh…

I don't really follow the PotC threads, but in case no one has mentioned it, the PotC 2006 calendar is out. Looks pretty cool. I might buy one, unless I can find a good tall ships calendar.

I was recently at a gaming shop an I happened upon some pirate action figures. I cannot remember the name o the company that made em'. They had Blackbeard an Anne Bonney (sold seperately). The sculpt was average for the both o them (nowhere near the expertise of say, McFarlaine Toys), an the accessories were interesting (multiple pistols, an an axe for Anne Bonney). I be wonderin if'n anyone else had seen these ? An if'n ye have, are there any other figures ?

Ahoy Mates, I was just browsing the www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk website and found information on the second series of 7" action figures for POTC. Series 2 will feature Captain Jack Sparrow II (Jack has some costume changes since the first movie), Elizabeth Swan, Ragetti, and Pintel. There will also be a set of 2 figures as cursed pirates (skeletons) of Capt. Barbosa and Capt. Jack Sparrow. These figures are scheduled for an October release in the UK. I have found that I can get a better price by ordering action figures directly from toy stores instead of on ebay if I want them when they are first released. Just use Google to search the internet for sto…

Gotta hand it to him!! Johnny Depp may be able to do a convincing pirate’s voice, but apparently he falls a little short when it comes to a pirate’s hands. The makers of the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" are looking for a gnarled-hand double for Depp because the "Edward Scissorhands" star has “girly man hands” according to the Star. A spokesman for the flick denies the story, but a source told the tab, “[Depp] has very feminine hands, with long, slender fingers. It’s posed a bit of a problem for them.”

while researching "A King's Pirate"...(I am bringing Nathan Beauchamp of the Royal Navy to Northeast Florida)IStumbled on info on the local pirates. Seems like quite a few of the fellows took a shot at plundering our nation's oldest city. I plan on it being a small historical book. Wish me Luck Joe (KP)

Recently received a copy of "Treasure Island" with Charlton Heston, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie, which was released in 1990 under Turner Home Entertainment, is only available in VHS. It was produced by Agamemnon Films in association with British Lion. Information on the movie and cast can be found on IMDB.com- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100813/ The movie is slow at times; it was a made-for-TV flick and not a threatrical release (did I mention it's faithful to the book?). The attention to detail in the clothes is pretty good. These are the nastiest looking pirates I've seen on the tube since POTC. Overall, if you're lucky enough to find a copy, ge…
