[Rodney · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a very early sourcebook for the Savage Worlds game system and 10 years later it is getting a little long in the tooth now. However it's still great! If you like classic pirate action, this book has everything you need to set sail on the Spanish Main: the full SW ruleset, rules for creating ships and crew, dueling and fencing schools, gazetteer of the region, comprehensive adventure generator, and even a starting campaign.

At over 250 pages this is pretty much the perfect RPG book for all your swashbuckling needs. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that The Savage World of Solomon Kane sourcebook for Savage Worlds is based around the same period and is even better... But still, this is a great book and well worth getting if the golden age of piracy is your thing.
