[QUOTE="haus48, post: 5282212, member: 31181"] Skull and bones adds a lot of flavor text but it focuses on the piracy era in the Caribbean. There are about a dozen 1/2 page summaries scattered throughout the book of famous pirates between 1690-1720 (with character class levels and hp being the only stats besides background info). It has many campaign specific character classes. Adds a system for parrying and one called rolling the bones to escape death (everyone gets multiple lives and lady luck can smile on you... or squash you like a bug). Its equipment section covers cannons, fire arms, various pirate weapons/equipment, and trade goods. It has a three page write up on the rules of the code duello, (the rules to honorable duels), a 1 page section on vices (Drinking, gambling, and ... other pursuits). It presents fame and sway rules so you can lead an infamous pirate crew (and keep them from having you walk the plank). It has a 17 page write up and rules for voodoo, the loa, and the djab. A 4 page write up of the various jobs and their roles (captian, warrant officer, cook, doctor, surgeon, ect). 20 pages on stats and rules for ships, naval combat, and weather. 4 pages discussing campaign ideas. 3 pages on types of plunder. Finally there are 10 pages for the different Caribbean islands with adventure hooks, who lives there, what they produce, and what the natives of the island import. Read some reviews and look into it.
