Salty Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The only way i even knew about it was from a topic here in teh pub.....and since it is teh only one i can get in my area for now...be recognizing it fer what it is a magazine that tried or is trying ot target a particualr topic or suite of topics that may or may not be historical or popular in nature. there is a wee pool on the website for the types of articles an such that ye would like to be seeing in future issues for all that be so inclined think this be the most discussion the magazine has had for all the 3 issues that have been produced Mud Slinging Pyromanic , Errrrrr Ship's Potter at ye service Vagabond's Rogue Potter Wench First Mate of the Fairge Iolaire Me weapons o choice be lots o mud, sharp pointy sticks, an string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Tar Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm not part of the target audience either. I can't be the only one who sees this publication as a brochure for Treasure Island Casino. Let me understand this Sir William... Ye don't like pirates or belly dancers now? Are ye also suggestin' we take a road trip t' Treasure Island, in Las Vegas, an compare this here Pirates magazine against their brochures?

My wife is a belly dancer, but I don't like belly dancers. And the pirates magazine is exactly like a casino brochure. Please tell me you're kidding.

CaptainSatan Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I haven't dated a belly dancer for over five years and I'm still finding glitter in my house! -CS As we say in Ireland let's drink until the alcohol in our system destroys our liver and kills us.

callenish gunner Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 aye but a lass in my bunk with period chemise and stays and the simplest of hairstyles .....sorry that's what i find the most attractive in a woman not how much sillycone you can pump her up with ...nor how much make-up she has to wear to look appealing ....nothing finer to me than a clean scrubbed face and the sweet smell or freshly washed hair and laundered linen ..... and besides i'm not one for casino gambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky Tar Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yes, Jacky, I'm a pirate but I don't like pirates.My wife is a belly dancer, but I don't like belly dancers. And the pirates magazine is exactly like a casino brochure. Please tell me you're kidding. Sir William, I knew ye was a pirate, yer wife was a belly dancer and ye could read the word 'pirate'. Aye, I like t' kid. But good sir, the rags' cover is fer the newstand. An attractive woman gets yer attention (Even kass's attention, apparently.). Wit' limited subscriptions, an this bein' issue three, they need t' get noticed. I believe they've gotten noticed. Now, how 'bout that road trip?

Tar Bucket Bill Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 So far, I have found at least something I like reading about in these magazines. However, I am more interested in getting into the meat and crossed bones of the historical aspect and living history/reenacting of it than say "A Pirate's Journal" and the article of the interview with a corset maker, and the like. To me, it seems they tried to make something for everyone --- all things pirate, for both sexes, whether fanciful or historic in nature. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, and I design layouts, etc. for a magazine, so I can't help but make some comparisons. I have to agree that the paper is very nice. The photos are nice and generally well color-corrected too. However, I think they could do better with the line art of the old engraved images. They look a bit too fuzzy. I do not know what they have to work with though. That can make a big difference. Also, they need to watch their editing. I'm finding typos in all three issues. Misspellings and sometimes even words repeated within a single sentence. Several of us, despite our job duties, proof read our magazine and mark them up for the editor. Going through it with a fine toothed comb helps a lot. All in all, it is very nicely designed and layed out and has good illustrations and photos. And their printer is doing a wonderful job too. Just my two cents worth. Tar Bucket Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoes Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have enjoyed both issues I have managed to get my hands on (1 and 3) but then I am in that renFair/more movie than historical pirate crowd. The Musical Blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
