Well, I've never purchased it per se. ;) I'm glad you and your wife are enjoying it so much. The first graphic novel is called "Black Planet" and you can find it here on Amazon.

Azawyll is correct. I would suggest thinking about it as more akin to our world's 30 Years War period with magic. Grim is the word boys and girls, GRIM.

I usually don't do this - but this thread just begs for it. Y'all need to check dis out, aight? ;) Wyrd is Bond Rap for the gaming table in spades.

To be samurai is to serve. To live every moment, knowing that it is your last. To be samurai is to ever strive for perfection, with the knowledge that you will likely never find it. To be samurai is to accept that you are dead and thus, leave fear behind. A samurai at rest is the calm before...

Wow... nothing like timing. I'm creating sharkmen / lycanthropes for the 2nd issue of Buccaneers & Bokor which comes out in December, which doesn't help you this instant, but soon... :D

Well - I won't flame you, so hopefully, nobody else will. ;) But, just for the record - we didn't wish to provide a high-fantasy alternative. There are a number of products on the market that do just that, including Green Ronin's own Freeport setting. The closest we came to high-fantasy was...

Allo, mates - We're obviously pleased so many gamers are enjoying Skull & Bones. It was designed to be enjoyable to read, but I'm glad so many people have said that we succeeded. BFG - It's easy to be enthusiastic if you have an enthusiastic audience. :D Parrying - Bunch of you lot asked...

Green Knight- Just so you know, 'cause that's the kind of thing that can bug a fellow, the story you were thinking of was written by John Wick. It was titled, appropriately enough, "The Last Paladin".

Aye, lad, tis so - but you see, Captain Pramas has been put to more than mortal paines by Skull & Bones and I reckon that "arrgh" comes to the fore, quicker than "arr' such tis'. Now how am I to be answerin this thread's query when I wrote it meself, I ask ye all? Fine, tis a sad dog that...

Have no fear of history, my lads for you see, we already thought about that, we did... Strange things happen out on the edges of the world because the greater bulk of disbelieving humanity is back in Europe. There really are sea serpents and worse prowing the waters of the western Atlantic...

There comes a point, Michael, when you've changed so much that gamers start thinking "let's lynch 'em at the next con". :D Armor Class works pretty much like you expect it to. However, there is an entirely new set/table of period-correct armor, some of which you can't even purchase, you have...

Yo-ho, yo-ho So, Yellow Sign, all the hooks on the islands in the back wasn't enough, eh? ;) Tonguez - seeing as Skull & Bones was largely inspired by On Stranger Tides I heartily second your recommendation. Unfortunately, it is presently out of print which can make it tricky to get a copy...

And the writing is brilliant I tell you! Brilliant! Oh, hell... this thing we'll show my name/isp. Drat. Well, the boys have already had their say, so I'll just throw in that I'd honestly love to know what you think of the actual product, once you've had a chance to peruse it, oh laughing...

Captain Scrimshaw sounds like he'd get along fine with the legendary Iakavos Lyras, the last liche on Earth and master of the Rape o' the Wind, a ghost ship crewed by the damned, with sails made of the skin of flayed navy officers. He's not big on the whole "underwater" bit - nippy fish and all...

Ahh, Aeolius, as much as I understand your joy in underwater adventures, you are correct to infer that "Buccaneers & Bokor" won't be incredibly supportive of them. Magic being a rare and untrusted power in the Golden Era of Piracy - I perceive the conversation going down like so: "And then...
