So, we ended our 5e experience, and one of the first things that was complained about after the actual complaints is "we never got our flying ship". This, combined with a somewhat soft, but real, desire for guns leads me to believe a Pirate Game is in order.
However, I don't know if it's space pirates or new world pirates or ice pirates or what. Only rules are that there are ships (flying optional), and it must have "guns". Toss out ideas, tell me your resources, help me get some ideas to throw out to the players as I poke them for ideas about what they want in a game.
We have had ships for the PCs in other games, two of them even flew
One player and I came to the Three Musketeers with Milla Jovavich that did so poorly but is entertaining. This has airships and sea ships
I could easily see them liking a space pirate game, but the mood would have to be much lighter than a Rogue Trader or an Expanse game. These guys like their bad guys wearing black, and their good guys wearing white. They like to punch Nazis and do crazy antics. Indeed, I will probably put something in as the campaign nazis, because really, nazis are fun to punch.
Of course, there will be discussion with the players. We might even do a Real Session 0 :eek: But lets talk pirates!

- my Hyborean game had a standard ship in need of repair
- my Firefly game had a player designed space ship
- my Classic Fantasy one had a war wagon/stagecoach in process which could be called a land yacht
- my norse 13th age game had a spooky longship that was powered by Einherjar at the oars, and they were chained there for a period of time before they could go to Valhalla
