Getting Overboard

What can a failed professional wrestling gimmick teach us about how personal conflict was handled on the high seas among pirates? Not much probably but it's fun to talk about professional wrestling and pirates getting into fights so that's what we're going to do.

Captain’s Log Audio Bed

This is the audio bed I made for the Captain's Log episodes. This audio track is 40 minutes long and full of all kinds of wonderful piratey sound effects and music. Perfect background music if your RPG needs a busy, slightly rowdy pirate tavern or if you just like having this sort of thing playing while you're working or exercising. Enjoy!

Captain’s Log!

Listen to the episode called "Talk Like A Pirate" if you haven't already!
