(...) I'm not sure why 5 was skipped for the wide-hulled ships. In fact, as far as I can tell, Steve has never published the class-5 regular ship record sheet (nor has a class-8 wide record sheet ever been published to my knowledge). I suspect the (...) (18 years ago, 25-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates)

| | Question about Ship Classes in Evil Stevie's Game
|
|
I've been preparing to run a session of Evil Stevie's Pirate Game, and I just realized that the ship classes are set up slightly oddly. For wide-hulled ships, the classes are 3 (no middle sections), 4 (1 middle), 6 (2 middles), 7 (3 middles), etc. (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates)

Hey Jojo, These are great. I particularly like the sashes you made out of the plastic capes and rubberbands - it looks good and has functionality in giving a place to tuck swords and pistols. On the torso usage, I thought the Spider-Man Aunt May (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Ooh! Excellent set of minifig Pirates! Much more character than the official LEGO pirates, and like John, I am surprised how piratey they look without the obvious additions of wooden legs, hook hands, or even the skull & crossbones hat.

Great work I really like these! The fence mounted horizontally as a ledge is also a great touch. I have long been a fan of the adventurer stomach torso for a pirate, but Aunt May's is really clever.... The backgrounds are also brilliant. I posted a (...)

(...) Hi Jojo, I think I'm in love with the rubber band and cape sash. I can see many uses outside pirates for that. You have definitely got me inspired to start building some pirate forces (once I get ahold of some capes) so I can arm a boat. Tim (18 years ago, 17-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
