I like FATE, and love pirates, so purchasing this product was a "no-brainer" for me.
And I wasn't disappointed.
The game follows all of the core mechanics of the original system - and adds some uniquely clever and entertaining treatments for this setting, which is rich in history and very well thought-out.
You can have bare-foot duels with sword and pistol on white, sandy beaches, engage your rivals in thunderous broadsides on the tumultuous high seas, conduct witty banter with scantily-clad wenches while swinging from the chandelier of a bawdy tavern, and much, much more.
Add elemental magic twisted in with religious fervour for good measure, and there you have it; "Storm & Sail".
John and Lloyd have excelled themselves with this one.
Sincerely, IanFW
