Under the Black Flag is the first supplement to the Gloire rules, and it covers swashbuckling pirate adventure in the Caribbean in the golden age of the buccaneers.



The book includes rules for creating campaigns of linked games, which will allow players to advance their model’s skills and abilities. Rules are also included for sailing and boarding ships, so players can swing from the rigging as they take galleons loaded with gold, or fire a broadside from a pirate sloop. Almost two dozen new character archetypes are introduced, as well as new abilities and skills. Seven scenarios round out the book-tales of treasure buried hastily on desert islands, mutinies, and divided loot gone amiss.

Sharpen your cutlass and prime your pistol, for we leave the world of the kings’ laws and sail Under the Black Flag!

Under the Black Flag is 88 pages and retails for $18.00.

I read this title and thought you must be talking about the anarchists! Pirates weren't the only ones who fought under a black flag! Still, pirates are interesting, maybe I will check it out :)

Is it a stand alone set of rules or do you need Gloire to play?

The nice thing about it is that it is a supplement for Gloire, but if you download the free demo version of the Gloire rules, you should be able to play no problem.

That is good news, I'd kinda written off this game as I'd need to buy two books for it.

Under The Black Flag goes back on the list.  :)

Thanks, guys! Yes, you really only need the demo rules to round out the game, but if you already own Gloire, you'll find rules for character advancement very similar to the ones in "Gargoyle: Death Soldiers of the Jade Hood."

Also, if you haven't downloaded it yet, there's a character sheet for Captain Jack, based off a certain wily buccaneer in some recent movies.

Download Captain Jack's character sheet. (PDF link)

Being in London, I would suggest checking with North Star or one of the stores they or Tabletop Games distribute to.

I think we might actually have better coverage in the UK than we do in the US.  :?

I think I'll just order it directly from the source (thus putting the full funds into the company creating the stuff) - but it'll have to wait 'til a couple of additional books for .45A are ready. And 'til I'm actually working on hobby projects again  :freak:

Edit: I've got to play some games soon, so I can get some new quotes for my signature  :roll:

As "Under the Black Flag" is in a line of a song from a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta, are there rules for the entire ensemble bursting into song for no apparent reason in the middle of a game?

There should be.

For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is
A glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!


And remember, Pirate Kings are not allowed to harm orphans.
