[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9224630, member: 11760"] You were [I]this close[/I] to a 100% pirate themed post! I have both Buried in the Bahamas and Sinking of C'thagn. I've run BitB twice now. Buried in the Bahamas is sensational. A truly great introductory adventure that includes every aspect of Pirate Borg play but naval combat. It starts with a [ISPOILER]battle at sea[/ISPOILER], moves on to a [ISPOILER]shipwreck sequence[/ISPOILER], players then have to [ISPOILER]battle a randomly determined supernatural monster at sea,[/ISPOILER] either go to a [ISPOILER]hive of scum and villainy for recruits[/ISPOILER] or head straight to a [ISPOILER]haunted cave system in search of buried treasure[/ISPOILER]. It runs in about three hours or less, and that was with newbies to the game who were motivated to get that treasure, rather than [ISPOILER]going to meet pirate NPCs they'd have to split the booty with[/ISPOILER]. Sinking of C'thagn is neat -- there's a Great Old One generator that I can see a lot of referees using for in a number of games for years to come, along with other generators for running an adventure in a briefly surfaced Mythos city before it sinks back beneath the waters of the Caribbean. The map's form factor is kind of awkward, though, as the referee will need to be flipping a giant document back and forth at the table during play. The PDF uses the same form factor, consisting of two gigantic pages that you will need to scroll around in multiple dimensions to find what you're looking for, so having a digital version on hand doesn't make it much easier. Hopefully Limithron will put up an updated PDF at some point in the future. I haven't figured out how I want to run marine combat online yet, so I haven't picked up Dead Man's Cove. [/QUOTE]
