Ahoy,

The ship is back in port, the stores unloaded and the crew on shore leave. The 4th Annual Portland Pirate Festival has come and gone, leaving the rum-soaked memories of a glorious weekend with some of our favorite piratical friends. There are so many who made PDXYAR's booth at this year's Pirate Fest a success, we're certain that we'd leave someone out by listing them all. But hell... we'll try it anyway.

Admiral Giles Seamus Hagthorpe MacGuffin
Captain Ragnar "Redgoat" MacHaggis
Captain Sir Steevn Basil Drakestongue
Captain Jack Cross "The Rogue Saint"
Francescia "Frankie" T. Sullivan O'Malley- Quartermaster

The Mistresses of Guardian Games

If ye happen to run across our home port by way of the Pirate Fest, welcome! Aside from running a weekly game night at Guardian Games (every Monday from 7pm - 10pm), we're currently planning more Epic Scale Pirates events over the next few months. Plus, this page will soon be replaced with an uber-shiny WordPress website, so keep a weather eye out fer that.

Thanks again to all who came out and made history at this year's Portland Pirate Fest. We'll keep ye updated with all the comings and goings of PDXYAR as we prepare to sojourn to new shores over the coming months.

HUZZAH!

It's official, NECA acquires WizKids.

Ahoy,

In what is likely the gaming industry's worst-kept secret over the past couple of months, NECA announced today that they have acquired WizKids. The agreement between NECA and former-owner Topps includes HeroClix (of course) as well as Pirates of the Cursed Seas. Does this mean that we'll finally see Return to Savage Shores? Will the broken distribution model for the game be fixed? Will Captain Redgoat get in trouble for stealing the name "Epic Scale" from the now-owners of the game?

All will be revealed... we hope.
