@Jeremiah: Awesome!

If other people want to make podcasts about Pirates CSG when I’m not around, please go ahead!  I only ask that you call it something other than “Pirates CSG Podcast” to avoid confusion – even just “Blackheart’s Pirates CSG Podcast” would be enough.

The person who made the captions page I use for instagram posts is named… Albert Renshaw.  O_O  Maybe he’s a descendent of Albert Crenshaw from RV?  XD

Nice lot here; not many rares but a great description.

Welcome aboard matey!

But this time around I’ll be playing the game by the written instructions for the first time. I was much to young back then to really care about reading the manual and preferred to make up my own naval battles.

That sounds exactly like me.  I preferred to do “historical fantasy scenarios” for a while, but started playing mu…[Read more]

Don’t see many factory sets nowadays.  There’s one of BC.
