If you're on a Mac' date=' Stuffit will decompress .rar.[/quote']

 

Nope. No help there. Is .rar a picture format? I don't think I have ever seen it before.

I've put the top deck into two hex sheets - but those files are over 500k in size for some reason - I need to crunch them down to size.

Re: Pirate Hero

 

Stormwrack for DnD has a few Deckplans. They are too small to use mini's on should you want to, but there are at least 6 ships planned out there. However, its not worth the price unless you like D20 and want to use it for more than Deck Plans.

 

You could go to Wizards.com to find free downloads of ships for Spelljammer... pretty good stuff there, but most of the ships are pretty unique designs, and even the Galleon might be altered a bit for that game as opposed to a Galleon that would float on water.

 

That aside, and to answer the first question... I would love to see a Pirate Hero... but after an updated Western Hero.... :-) (cause I already got Pulp Hero and Post Apoc Hero is coming soon. Those are pretty much my top 4 wishes....

Re: Pirate Hero

 

if you read french, have a look to Pavillon Noir :

http://perso.orange.fr/blackbookeditions/pnsup.html

 

"A feu et a sang" is a reference which can be used with any system* with a few adaptations.

 

I know no other pirate rpg as detailed and historical as Pavillon Noir.

 

 

 

* to combine it with Pirates (from ICE, which contains HERO stats) could be useful.

Re: Pirate Hero

 

You could've warned me--one of my future projects after BreedWiki was a MediaWiki setup for Pirates of The Cerulean Ocean... but I suppose we'll cross that bridge if it's still there.

 

Toss me a message if you're still interested.

Re: Pirate Hero

 

Not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread yet but try checking GURPS Swashbucklers. Good resource material.

 

Also, the old Fantasy Games Unlimited "Privateers and Gentlemen" RPG and tabletop rules.
