The pirates hold small islands, ready to flee at a moments notice. (Think Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back... with palm trees.) Rather than evil pirates have the bad guys be privateers financed by the Evil Empire (tm). Assaults against towns with corrupt governors who have beautiful, kind hearted daughters, fortified prisons, and well gunned Men o' War.RPG wise both AEG's Swashbuckling Adventures and Adament's Skull & Bones are excellent, though very different in stance. (SA is very cinematic, while S&B is a lot more gritty, grotty, and dark.) I would be hard pressed to say which I consider better.And if you are a modeller take a look at <a href="http://www.worldworksgames.com/seaworkstwo.html" target="_blank">Maiden of the High Seas</a>  and <a href="http://www.worldworksgames.com/seaworksone.html" target="_blank">Legend of Skull Cove.</a>  Both sets can form a great start to a seaborn/pirate campaign. (Especially The Maiden...) (warning, lot o' graphics on those pages. But the little movies are really neat.)The Auld Grump, proud owner of an undead pirate paradise...</blockquote>
