Aye... I do play d20 games... but I just dislike 7th Sea's d20 incarnation Swashbuckling Adventures. In 7th Sea.... it's all about role-playing and interacting and good storytelling. D20 is wonderful! But for swashbuckling it becomes more roll-play, ye know? That said, I did buy Seas of Blood to use as source material.

Anyone know where I can get free pirate-y screensavers for the 'puter?

Ah... a pyrate... who is a broad! Arrrrr

Aye... But Princess Bride has the Dread Pirate Roberts !

Aye... I've been staring at the ship at my local store... Ye shouldn't 'ave been able to get 40% off though, as it was on sale for 20% at the time... I checked... yarr it sucks

Aye.... but it's not exactly a pirate movie...

I've seen people play it.... I miss Pirates for my old PC (not Pirates Gold, that'd be too fancy!)

Has anyone gone with their crewe, in garb, and Rocky Horrored it yet? Not necessarily throwing things around, but standing up at random moments and quoting the movie as it's playing? Great fun, but get manager approval first.

Princess Bride? Not so much Pirate-y... but still worthwhile to watch, ye young punk scalliwag.

That may be... but file that under "Suspension of Disbelief" rather than a blooper. Ye might as well say Zombie Pirate an' Cursed Gold don't exist either!

Aye.. ye know... there's just sumthin 'bout a wommin that dresses like a man, yet enought like a lady that just sets off me powderkeg!

Aye... like in Star Wars: Episode 1, when Obi-Wan was on Tatooine, he was flipped on screen. His braid was on th wrong side and so was a mole o' his.

Aye... that would be a fun game if'n I didn't just blow a hole in me ship.; yar...

Arrr! Did ye just use MacFarlane and articulation in the same sentance laddie? Ye Cracks me up! As one who has 'is finger on th' pulse 0' th' toy industry... the closest we'll get to a Jack Sparrow we'll be gettin' is the Disney 12 inch PotC doll from years ago. And ye 'ave ta hunt for 'em in the Bay of E. Ay... and I thinks Marketeering is a real word.

Thief? Hardly... CIA.

Lass... there's Pasion, and then there's Obsession.

Ye mean wot if the Colonists string up Depp fer treasonous speech? I'd buy the board a round O' drinks! "Carribbean Queen"?... a 'lil bit o' th' 80s....

Arr.... this reminds me of the comics I read as a small boy.... Namin' the letters column. How about "If it's not Sparrow, it's CRAP!"

Pirates of the Carribean Cutthroat Island (costume auctions currently on the Bay of E right now) A Pirate Movie Swashbuckler The Black Swan Captain Blood :angry:

I played one of em meself. I just forget which one. It was the one where 'is girlfriend is turned into a gold statue, it is!

Found a pretty good deal, don't know how high they'll go but the 2 core books are about $30 apiece. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5&category=1183

Ah, the CCG! Great stuff too! I never really played it, but I have 2 800count longboxes full of them still. I never got the final expansion "Synerth Secrets" at all either. They cancelled the game and none of the retailers here ordered any.

It's made by Alderac (or AEG). It came out in 1999 and as of just last year is now called Swashbuckling Adventures, but us purists still call it 7th Sea. It still says 7th Sea on the back cover too. The name change was in response to them adding D20 system rules into the mix. I hate Swashbuckling Adventures, by the way. I only buy the books because they're dual system, meaning has both original and D20 info in them. Anyways, 7th Sea is set in a world that mirrors our own, but isn't quite. The nations of Theah (Europe and some of Asia) is the primary focus. Avalon (England) Highland Marches (Scotland), Innismore (Ireland), Vodacce (Italy), Montaigne (France), Castille (Spain), Usurra (Russia), Vendel (Dutch), Vesten (Norse Vikings). Also there is the Crescent Empire (Middle East), and Cathay (China/Japan/India). There's no New World as of 1669 (game year), however there is the Midnight Archipelago which is full of colonies, natives, and pirates. Anyways, Theah has an evolving timeline/storyline. It started in 1668 and is almost ready for 1670. It seems to be set in the Restoration period if it was earth. Every nation has it's own unique brand of sorcery, and sword schools. And for us pyrate lovers, there's 3 books that are essential! Nation Book #1 Pirate Nations (out of print, rare and expensive to find), Waves of Blood, and the new Ships and Sea Battles. Heck, it's has great homages to history and pirate culture in all the books. Phillip Gosse is listed as a Gentleman Pirate (you should know who he is...) Love Pirates of the Carribean? We've had The Black Freighter since the beginning. A ship of the damned.... I can rant on and on. But it's still a great game, that rewards storytelling and interaction over dice-rolling.

Yarrrr! 'Ello All! Anyone else here have time for the playing of roles? Naw! Not that crappy, D&D stuff.... Real games with heroes, villans, and scoundrels just like the loving pictures and the books ust ta talks about. 7th Sea! Anyone play?

I refuse to comment on my pirate film... since I'm putting the finishing touches on the treatment right now. My first post, Hoody Hoo!
