TheBlackFox Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 The magazine has now reached the 84 page limit I set for it. . . that's 20 pages more than usual! We're celebrating our first year in a big way with articles about ghost pyrates, pyrate discipline at sea, The Phantom, REAL pyracy of the 1960s ( a new series of pyrate articles by decade), Pyrates Choice Rum, further info on POTC movies, and a ton more! You want up-to-date info on PyrateCon08? we have it Photos from "International Talk Like A Pyrate Day"? we have it Of course we feature 4 HOT pyrate wenches, humour, information, and the most-updated pyrate event calendar anywhere! www.pyratesway.com
TheBlackFox Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 The Autumn issue be at press mates and I should be approving the proofs tomorrow. It takes a few days to print. . . a few more in the bindery. . .then they ship out to the distributor and to us. M'wife and I do all the subscriptions by hand and your booty will be mailed separately this time. . . . because of it's size and bulk. After all, it bein' our first year of success, we thought we'd share a bit of the booty with ye by giving you a nice piece piece that you can add to yer pyratin' garb and always think of us! The Autumn issue be EIGHTY-FOUR pages this time. . .that's a full 20 pages bigger than any other issue. . .just to show our appreciation for your kind attendance to our magazine. All we ask is if one of those advertisers therein be catchin' yer eye. . . please let 'em know you saw 'em in The Pyrates Way! Them thar advertisers is what keeps the magazine price from being raised and the quality of it kept so high! Be on the lookout for "Savvy" a new (but obviously recognizable) character in this issue's "Grim Lookout" comic, as he appears throughout the margins of the later half of the issue. . . they breed like Tribbles,,, so I'm told. The Winter issue will be back to the normal 64 pages but we've got great stuff in store for ye. . . as we take a step back in time and look at the pyrate toys we had as kids! Tis a late-holiday tread due out the beginning of January, mates. Keep yer powder dry, says I, Steve "The Black Fox" Kimball Publisher, The Pyrates Way magazine
TheBlackFox Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 I'm getting phone calls and emails from subscribers all over the planet as everyone seems to really love the Phantom rings that have all been mailed! If you haven't gotten yours yet. . .you will this week as the balance of them were dropped off at the post office at 2:30 pm today! If you got your ring, please let me know by posting here and if you think it was a good booty choice! The ring is actually a hint as to one of the features in the Autumn issue: The Phantom!. .. the only super hero to avidly go after pyrates as his main nemesis! Magazines are on their way to us as we speak and subscriptions go out just as soon as we have them. All the postage is bought, the labels attached, and the envelopes ready to mail! We're just a tad excited as this is our biggest and best issue ever!
Rumba Rue Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I wondered about that....as I received the 'said' ring the other day. Hmmm, I really tried to see if it had a secret compartment or was some kind of secret code ring, but alas, tis a silly toy. Damn, I want a real ring!
Ransom Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Went to your web-site, but couldn't find any place where it tells you how much it costs to suscribe. So, what's the cost, and how many issues does that cover? Thanks! R ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

William Blydes Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Curses, I should have waited to subscribe and just bought! Our dollar has gone up close to 20% since I paid my subscription Are you ajusting your price according to the dollar difference? Only the shipping ought to be more. I'll just be behind that wall over there... this is a very hot topic these days in the retail area William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE! Adventures on the High Seas (refitted and back on station!)
TheBlackFox Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 Since we keep the quality of the magazine so high, it's worth against the dollar is a point that's moot. We have no plans to raise prices or rework any of the shipping costs, whether we lose money on it or not. Providing a quality product and enjoying this whole pyracy hobby is what's important. Hey, I love what I do, mates and I appreciate you folks sharing in it!
Mad Woman Cheryl Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I got my ring! Thought it cool enough to wear to Piratz Tavern for our anniversary (October 21). My son was bummed that I got something and he didn't (like he never gets anything!). Keep up the great work! Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"
