Pirates

[Emirikol]

I am pretty impressed with this one product. It sets the standard for products of it's nature:

1. It has a lot of details useful to a DM
2. The Prestige Classes are all presented with an EXAMPLE (what a novel idea)
3. It's got fill-in the details that are interesting as well as adaptable to different settings.

I like Blood Sea better myself. But that's just me. It seems like a good product however.

Arr! It be something to plunder!

Skull & Bones is the best piratical work for my dollar, so far.

Looking at the cover, I thought at first it was another Avalanche product....

I enjoy it but find that I have way too many priate books. When I saw that Mongoose was coming out with an updated product for Seas of Blood for example, I threw that in my latest auction.

I like Pirates and find them a good staple of the fantasy setting, especially with movies like Curse of the Black Pearl, but really, you could run several campaigns without ever fighting or meeting a pirate. It's not as specialized as Air Ships, but for what it is, it has received way too much attention.

Living Imagination has a book.
Kenzer & Company has a book.
Mongoose has a book (indirectly)
Fantasy Flight Games (indirectly)
Green Ronin (Setting/Sourcebook)
AEG's 7th Seas

I'm sure I'm missing one or two but like I noted, too many for the same subject. I'm kinda hoping that the new book that updates Seas of Blood is a definitive work.

I don't have Pirates!, but I have two other books from Living Imagination: Twin Crowns (campaign setting) and Streets of Silver (city guide).

They are both of very high quality, with Streets of Silver being perhaps the best city book I have seen. If I have cause to get a pirating book, Pirates! will be the first one I consider.
