We would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the Pirates & Dragons RPG Kickstarter. You've blown us away with your support, and we'll try to repay you with an awesome game. We'll be posting updates over the coming days and months as the project progresses - which it can, due to you all

With 4 hours to go until the end of the Kickstarter, we've smashed through the £6000 stretch goal! The "Creatures of the Dragon Isles" bestiary is funded, as well as retro-clone stats for all P&D products. The bestiary is now available as an add-on. The next stretch goal is "Gazetter #1: Esbaniola and the Southern Tempests", at £7000. In 4 hours? How likely is that? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg

Yep, £150 away from the next juicy stretch goal, with just 6 hours to go...a nail-biting finish... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg

Just 24 hours to go!!! And we're under £350 away from the next stretch goal - a full colour bestiary add-on, and the bonus of retro-clone stats in all P&D products http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg

The next stretch goal, the Tales of Tortuga, has been unlocked! Thanks to everyone who's helped us to get there. It's now available as an-add on. Our next double stretch goal, Creatures of the Dragon Isles (a full colour bestiary) and retro-clone stats in all P&D products, will be reached at £6000. We've got 48 hours to go, let's see if we can do it! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg

Great! Thanks

Cakebread & Walton: Independence Day! 1st October was Independence Day at Cakebread & Walton. For the last few years, our books have been published by Cubicle 7 Entertainment, but from now on we’re going it alone. Our popular and award-winning role-playing games and settings, including Clockwork & Chivalry, Abney Park’s Airship Pirates, Renaissance Deluxe, Clockwork & Cthulhu and Dark Streets, are available as PDFs, and over the coming weeks, they’ll start to become available as print-on-demand products from DriveThruRPG. This means that some of our products which have been out of print for a while (such as the UK Games Expo Award-winning steampunk RPG, Abney Park’s Airship Pirates core rulebook) will be available again, and many of our volumes will be available in hardback for the first time. We’ve reached an agreement with Captain Robert Brown of Abney Park to carry on producing the Airship Pirates line of games, and Cubicle 7 Entertainment have generously given us permission to continue using their Heresy Rules Engine in the game, so that it remains compatible with the Victoriana RPG. Underneath the Lamplight, the Neovictorian sourcebook for Airship Pirates, will be available in full colour for the first time, and there are further supplements in the pipeline. Our next major release will be the Pirates & Dragons RPG core rulebook – visit a world of swashbuckling, magic and monsters using a fast-paced cinematic version of our Renaissance D100 rules. The Kickstarter for this game still has a few days to run and has more than doubled its target; there are some cool stretch goals almost in reach, and if you sign up for the Kickstarter, you’ll get free postage in the UK and US, so if you haven’t backed it yet, now’s the time! We have a whole range of products planned for this richly detailed fantasy world, so keep an eye out. Other projects in the pipeline include a world-spanning campaign for Dark Streets, our grim 18th century Cthulhu Mythos setting, more short Renaissance adventures in our Flintlock & Steel series and possibly the next adventure in the Kingdom & Commonwealth campaign for Clockwork & Chivalry. We’ve also got a comic Victorian murder mystery novel, The Morecambe Medium, featuring the investigating team of Augustus Mulberry and Doctor Touchstone, about to hit the virtual bookshelves! Cakebread & Walton consists of game designers Peter Cakebread and Ken Walton, who have the privilege of working with a group of talented artists and writers from across the world. We’re a tiny independent company based in Lancaster, England and in cyberspace. All our games will be available in the future from DriveThruRPG.com, and its sister site RPGNow.com.

Huzzah, the next stretch goal has been unlocked! The HMS Terror, an Albionic pirate-hunting ship, is now available - deck plans for the ship will appear in the core rulebook, and anyone pledging £15 or more will automatically be entitled to receive a PDF of the combat scale deck plans of the Terror, designed by Dramascape. We're now very near (£250) the next stretch goal, Tales of Tortuga, with just a few days to go!!! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg

Yes, but we've only ever discussed it briefly. At the time we figured that there would be better people to do it than us and that there's already a fair few games out there (although most, from memory and judging by my own collection, set a little later). On the other hand, I am very interested in the era and the amount of research I've already done would give us a bit of a head start - I wargame the Old West, and I'm the kind of saddo that always reads a mountain of books before I invest in a new mini collection.

If you haven't already, and with just a few days to go, now's the time to get on board and pledge towards the Pirates & Dragons RPG Kickstarter. There are some great stretch goals within reach, so head on over and take a look. And while you're there, check out today's Kickstarter update, which takes a look at Blackwood Isle. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg/posts/613289

In Renaissance Deluxe there are compact, abstract rules for ship combat and sea travel (2 pages of rules, and a few other passing references), but there isn't close detail on the various ship types, etc. Pirates & Dragons will contain a lot more information and "ships stuff"

This thread is fantastic! You've certainly got us thinking, there are so many great ideas here I'm in danger of needing to buy another bookcase...

In today's Pirates & Dragons Kickstarter update some shiny new stretch goals are unveiled, including more ship plans from Dramascape, a Bestiary, Retro-stats, and Gazetteer #1, Esbaniola and the Southern Tempests http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg/posts/610549

Looks seriously cool! Looking forward to the next Log entry I picked this up a while back - http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/American-Heavy-Frigates-1794%E2%80%931826_9781841766300

That would be cool indeed!

The art director on the Pirates & Dragons RPG Kickstarter, Gary Buckland, has secretly been working on a picture of an Esbanian balena-galleon without telling us, and sprung a rather nice surprise on us today! Check it out on our update page. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg/posts

Today's Pirates & Dragons Kickstarter update takes a look at Isla Fecunda, home to a large Esbanian colony, and the rival Insect Nation. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg/posts/601538

*blush* Many thanks

I stumble and waffle...er, I mean, I wax lyrical about the Pirates & Dragons RPG Kickstarter in an interview for the GMS Magazine podcast... http://www.gmsmagazine.com/podcasts/the-gms-magazine-podcast-episode-118-pirates-dragons-kickstarter-project-with-pete-cakebread

Woot! The Pirates & Dragons Kickstarter has hit its second stretch goal, and the adventure "The Curse of Dead Billy Vane" has been unlocked! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1317990451/pirates-and-dragons-rpg

I thoroughly enjoyed it - and my 13 year old daughter (who was peering over my shoulder as I was working) has decided that I have to run some things using it for my Sunday Junior gaming group (I did suggest she could GM and I could have a day off, but she wasn't having it).
