Book Description
There is just something magical about the thought of the ocean breeze blowing past billowing sails, the feel of strong wood beneath one’s feet, and the gentle roll and pitch of the waves as your ship cuts across them in search of fame and fortune. The adventurous, often romantic image of the pirate is a part of our collective psyches, handed to us from historical figures like Redbeard and Sir Francis Drake and the many corsairs and villains that have plied the seas of our imagination. There is something primal about the freedom and untempered bravado pirates possess that inspires us to place them over and over again in song and story. From a role playing standpoint, pirates are a wonderful addition to our games. They are fierce, self-reliant characters with a crew of men willing to do their bidding, a ship to call their home that grants them the ultimate mobility to travel as they wish, and a licence to do as they please lest someone do it to them first. With pirates come the brotherhood and code of the sea, a form of unwritten law that create a grand backdrop for adventures of buccaneering and bounty-chasing. Hoist the main sails and batten down the hatches; there’s glory to be had, me mates!
