Well, It has several things that make it good for priacy/swashbuckling. Firstly, I think the matrix of cargo and princing makes for a lot of fun for players to get into the economic side of the whole sailing ships thang, and also gives you a good idea of why it's may be good to be a pirate (also completely possible to do and stay within the metaplot!!)Secondly The system is very free flowing and quick and works well for minis and mass players (as well as NPCs) and what's more they have a lot of intuative rules that let you see the effects of being at sea for days (without spending too much time book keeping) Is it Infinitely better than 7th Sea, Lace and Steel or other Swashbuckling games? Probably not, Is it a kick ass Pirate game on it's own, and does it work for the swashbuckling genre? AYE MATEY!!
