(...) Well, as I remember the 5 mark coins came with the original pirate sets from the late 80s. Now though it seams the coins only come in denominations of 10. IYou aren't the only one that kept the center piece though, I saved the center piece (...) (18 years ago, 31-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates)

Read about it (URL). No pictures in the article, but it's still a pretty cool write up. And there's a brief mention of an old treatment for syphillis that makes one shudder, even three centuries hence. Dave! (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Was there a 5 mark coin for the original pirate sets? If I remember correctly the coin denominations were something like 5, 15, 25, and possibly 50. Can anyone confirm this or is this just my imagination? (18 years ago, 29-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)

(...) 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)
