I picked it up and wanted to see more.Inside it's not the same. A lot of great black and white line art, some new, some period it looks like.First half is the history of piracy's golden age. Thius is great reading, well-written and just packed with information. I would love toplay in a campaign in this setting. Everything you need to know about REAL pirates - how they lived, how they fought, why they didn't put rum in bottles, how they got rid of their loot, what sort of loot they captured. Their enemies - the Spanish navy. Female pirates, and the real story behind them.Role-playing just gets more intense when you know it's for real. The rules are greathere: gangrene, grievous bodily harm, and panache. Panache feats are things you do "for show" that give you special extra bonus feats. But you have to keep doing better and better ones to get more panache. And if you do things that are too easy, you loose panache. I like this.New classes: Jesuit priests, nobles, and all sorts of nauticaltypes. Even the cook.It needed something about talking parrots. That's about all that's missing. Add some ship rules, and this is a great setting.</blockquote>
