Hey gang,
I’m happy to join fellow fans of a great game. My username is pretty straight-forward; no special meaning behind it other than a play on words.
Me and my gaming buddies got into Pirates right as Revolution was hitting shelves. We played a lot from that point through DJC before everyone started college, got into careers, got into committed relationships, etc. I am definitely more player than collector; call it 90/10. Most of my collection comes from Revolution and DJC with some BC and SCS sprinkled in.
What I and my gaming group enjoyed most at the time was ease of set-up, rule adaptability, and strategy involved in the game. Truly a game system ahead of it’s time. What I enjoy about it now is sharing that experience with my young daughter. I also enjoy history in general and appreciate that aspect about various character, ships, and locations where the game takes place. I prefer a more understated supernatural element to the game; the cursed faction was definitely a dividing line for my gaming group’s preferences.
The first few packs I purchased yielded the Enterprise and Commodore David Porter. Combined with a helmsman, this combo won me many games and the ire of my friends heh heh. My daughter recently used Enterprise (all of her own choosing) and won our first game together. It was fun seeing the glee in her eyes as my pirate fleet failed to stop her onslaught. Good times.
I’m not a member of any other sites, but I will say I greatly appreciate the effort and upkeep poured into this site. Happy to be aboard.
