First one is 22 years old, last one is 8 years old. Black Sails are 11 years old tv show. One Piece started in 1999. Those tree are probably most influential pices of modern pop culture for most of current D&D player base. And no, there is no "realistic" naval combat in them. But in Pirates of Caribbean, it's cinematic, it's iconic, and it's quite prominent core feature of franchise. Same with Black sails, only it's more grounded in reality (no fantasy elements). When you mention pirates to players in their 20-30s, first association is usually - Pirates of Caribbean. They don't necessary want realistic in RPG either. They want fun and cinematic. Broadsides thundering, swinging on ropes for boarding, that kind of stuff.</blockquote>
