Avast! Today be International Talk like a Pirate Day! The day were you well, talk like a pirate! This is the day where we all can be swashbucklers and make scurry dogs walk the plank! The day where booty grabbin' is perfectly acceptable and "r" become the most used letter of the alphabet.
Normally, September 19th is the only day where one can talk like a pirate with built in justificiation. However, I get to talk like a pirate on a semi-regular basis! How do I accomplish such a feat, you may ask? It because I roleplay a pirate in one of the D&D campaigns I playin! Since I've been doing it for months I like to think I got a good grasp of the concept. To celebrate International Talk like a Pirate day, I'll be giving you some advice on how to roleplay a pirate!
1. Talk like a pirate! You can't be a pirate without the proper lingo! The International Talk like a Pirate day website (click the link above to access) is a great place to start learning how. It be full of all sorts of Pirate knowledge that will transform even the biggest landlubber into a fearsome terror of the seas!
2. Dress up like a pirate! Sounding like a pirate is great and all, but there's so much more you can do. By wearing pirate clothes, people will look at you and think, "that be a pirate, ARRRRR!" Why, even a humble eyepatch will do wonders for getting that pirate mode established! If ye be wantin' more, ye have plenty of options so why not go all out? Handhooks, stuffed shoulder parrots, a pirate hat, and a badanna are just a few of the options aviaible to you! Consider going to a costume shop and buy a premade pirate costume if ye need one quickly. Roleplaying a pirate will be much easier once you look like a pirate!
3. For those of you who which to mechiancally represent your pirateness, that be an easy task. No matter the edition, you be wantin' to play some combination of Fighter and Rogue. It be the perfect combination of fightin' and style required for being a pirate. Once you be gettin' into the higher levels, ye should consider takin' the "Dread Pirate" Prestige Class from the Complete Adventurer if 3rd Edition be your game. 4th Edition players would be wise as the seas to check out the "Sword Coast Corsiar" from the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide.
If you follow this advice, you'll be a Man (or Women) of the Sea in no time flat!
