The DnD Pirates Game
« on: July 30, 2010, 02:13:07 PM »
Hey, I was just cruising around DriveThruRPG and discovered this little collection of books for 3rd Edition DnD that focused on various reigons on the world. One of them was a Caribbean book for pirates and I thought to myself "Hey, that book has a hot pirate chick on the cover, just like Andy mentioned in his letter. I wonder if it is the same book."

So, Ross, was this your pirate sourcebook: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=2323&it=1

Damn. I thought I was a genius investigator there for a minute.

By the way, somebody put your book up on DriveThruRPG, where the PDF can be purchased for half the price of the print books, for those gamers who prefer the slick, electronic interaction of an e-reader or screen to the analog contact of paper. Road Trip.

Does Ben know you put him on there as a tag? He might want plausible deniability when this thing hits the streets and people are knifing each other for copies at GenCon.

God I hope people kill each other for copies. That would be sweet.

If I can get two hobos to dress like gamers, preferably by beating up two coplayers and putting the hobos in their outfits (the worse fitting the better), and have a knife/broken bottle fighter over a copy of Road Trip at GenCon than this post might get you onto the Today show, Ross.

Only if they knife the purchase details into each other's stomachs so all the news bullitens act as adverts!

Too bad RPPR doesn't have an official knife with the logo on it. Maybe they'd be willing to try and stab each other with the buttons...

I suppose it's a good weapon, really. You can attack with the pin and block with the button. Be a hell of a spot: semi-contact button battles. First to die loses. No physical contact between combatents except for the buttons.

Because I'm this bored and my ego took a major blow there on that first post, I continue.

I present another hot, female pirate, this time with the mentioned tiny dragon, I assume to replace a parrot. Also, someone appears to have stolen her pants.
Ross Payton, is this your sourcebook?: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=1451&it=1

Inexorable proof of my moderate internet searching abilities!

Is now a bad time to mention I recall Ross saying he made the pirate adventures up completely, as at the time there were no pirate source books and rules in D&D to use?

So, did one of the players play her?  Or was she the villain?

Neither, as far as I know. Andy just makes note of "the hot chick on the cover, who even had a little dragon. There where rules and words beyond this image but only Ross had the fortitude to proceed past and learn their wisdom", or something to that effect. Andy is prone to prose.
