Pirates of the Endless Names
Gaming friends tend to blame me for sucking them into games. Logan blamed me for getting him back into EverQuest. The Law is currently cursing my name for reactivating his HeroClix obsession. Justin and Nelson are blaming me for sucking them into Pirates of the Spanish Main.
In the last case there, I think it's going to work out pretty well. Justin and Nelson are currently working together to improve PotSM. They have played a few games of it now (or so I'm told), and while they found it fun, it seems they have some issues with the game. And they're valid issues. What kind of cannon can fire in such a wide arc? Cannons on ships fired pretty much straight -- and that was it. So I think they're fixing that. It sounds like they're also adding in a hex map.
Hmm... I'm looking forward to seeing their improved rules when they're done.

Can someone explain why people insist on taking nice simple games and unnecessarily complicating them by adding a whole slew of rules to make them more "realistic"? I mean doesn’t that contradict the whole point of having a simple game in the first place?

Possibly, but have you ever tried fitting a full size hex map in your pocket?

Well, that has nothing to do with complexity, dude. That said, though, I could fit a folded up piece of paper in my pocket a lot better than I could fit the assembled PotSM ships. ;)
