League Week 11 Scenario & a Welcome to New Recruits

Ahoy,

Word of our humble little parcel of rogues has been filtern' out over the past couple of weeks, so now seems like a good time to re-introduce PDXYAR to the masses. To those of you who are visiting PDXYAR for the first time... ahoy! We're happy to have ye as a member of the fleet. If yer lookin' fer more information on who we are, what we do or how you can get involved, glance slightly to starboard for a brief summary. Better yet, sign up for our Yahoo group and join in on the skulduggery and verbal broadsides!

At present, PDXYAR is wrapping up 12-week run of Pirates of the Cursed Seas games. Our next port o' call is listed below, and all are welcome to join. If'n ye have yer on fleet to bring, read on for scenario information. If not, just show up at one of our games and we'll provide ye with enough ships and crew for you to sail the high seas as a proper captain!

Once we wrap up with our current League schedule (mid July), look for PDXYAR to host Epic Scale (them be the big ships) games, Savage Worlds role-playing campaigns and a few other surprises as we ramp up for this year's Portland Pirate Festival.

With that... here be the details on this week's Pirates of the Cursed Seas game. Huzzah!
