    Some of the mods that made this set possible:

    Special note: crew member Mavis Stormquiver has been published as a mod!!

    Pirate ship, including Captains office with map room, etc. This includes the sea battles between my crew and various opponents. Also Pirate Captain's hat, eye patches:
    Pirates of Skyrim - The Northern Cardinal under the Black Flag

    Pirate outfits and hats for the crew:
    Apachii Divine Elegance Store

    Drake necklaces for each crew member:
    Newmiller drake2 jewellery necklaces circlet UNP CBBE (jewelry)

    Various poses. including several in the celebration party (guitars, sabercat, chairs, swing, keg) and also in the final planning session:
    (retextures of the 3 black guitar poses done by me, specifically for this set - just to keep it interesting!)
    GomaPero Poses v10
    Poser Hotkeys

    Ebony Glass Daggers, Ebony Blue Glass Daggers, and Ebony Glass Swords:
    A mod by chickmetalhead that will hopefully get worked on again in the future and published some day.
    Special thanks to LeanWolf for letting me use the meshes from: LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons
    I add some tweaks to the meshes, and also did the retextures.

    Followers/presets - possibly with changes...
    My wife Jordis is a mashup of several Jordis mods, not sure which ones anymore...
    Mavis by Laoshan99 and chickmetalhead (mod is in testing phase)
    Lagertha from Vikings racemenu preset
    Leah-Sama follower
    Celyria

    Special thanks to ShmooZ for tips on using poses, including telling me about the Poser Hotkeys mod.

    Special thanks to Excellentium for having these themed events!

    Special thanks to Avi!! - for keeping me in a better mood than I would be without her!

    Sorry if I left anything important out... Let me know if I missed something important!

    Finally, thanks to each of you for comments and encouragement!

    Another brilliant action sequence.
    Love the pirate theme. Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of yum!!
    If you aren't already doing this professionally, you should be; you are obviously ultra talented.

      Wow, you are being so nice to me today! Thank you so much! The funny thing is that while I love doing sets like this, it is a huge amount of work. Haha, that could be what makes it *seem* like I am ultra talented. This set took several days and hundreds of images to put together. Sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it... Then I get comments like yours today, and... Yeah, it really is! Thanks again!

    Awesome pics. Love the Northern Cardinal and I've had that in my game for years. Those guitars rock. I want to know how you got them into Skyrim. They look like they are right out of Sims3.

      Haha, I know you are joking, but the guitars are GomaPero Poses, but those are black. The technicolor versions are my retextures for this event. Notice Mavis has the electric blue Stormquiver guitar - that one was made special just for her!

      Thank you! It was a fun adventure, using a crew made up of followers both new and old. I just wish Celyria had been published a few days earlier - being a Siren, she would have made a great singer for the band!

      I can't wait to see what the final presentation of this themed event looks like when Excellentium posts it. There have been a lot of great images from the various contributers.

    Oh my, this is quite a pirate squabble if any! So much action and fighting going on and it all ends with some booze and electric guitars!

    It looks like you've had a lot of fun here with so many images. Thank you for the hell of deciding which two to use for the final presentation!

    It's okay though, just kidding, because it's great if these themes can trigger you into having a blast and it sure looks that way! Also thank you for the special thanks in your sticky!

      Thanks for your comments! A lot of work, and a lot of fun. And thanks for reading the sticky!

      Now, I had to read your comment a few times before I understood that "Thank you for the hell of deciding which two to use for the final presentation!" was probably the best praise I have received, because I have made your life difficult picking between my images. Sorry about that! But seriously, thanks - you made my day!

      Also... "Booze and electric guitars" pretty much summed up one of the most interesting 2-3 years of my life, back when I was younger and was out seeing bands multiple nights each week... That was probably harder to survive than these pirate battles!

    AmaZing ballad. One that we can all revel in, with mugs full of rum. Great story telling 10/10

      Thanks so much! To be fair, the story kind of wrote itself from the images and adventure I had - but thanks!

      Haha, another funny story (or not) - After two very bad experiences with rum two insane weekends in a row a lonnng time ago - I have never touched rum again! So it is whiskey in my mug!

      I had a lot of fun getting them - and knowing some friends here enjoyed them made it worthwhile! Thanks for your comment!

      PS. Thanks for your continuing efforts to reduce imageshare clutter, by gently hinting at a better way with your image sets tutorial. I hope some of the users listen.

      Haha, today I was about to write the message to a multi-uploader, when I realized that I had already done in a previous post of him... obviously, he did not give a damn. Anyway, I think I'll finish my campaign because apparently I'm the only one who tries to say something to these people.

      Well, I passed on your link to someone today, and they actually tried it and were happy to do it!

      If you want to throw some support to the person, here is a link to their new combined post:
      Images from Voyage to the Dreamborne Isles
      He thanked me for the link... I am thanking you again for the tutorial page. Also, I used your exact words: (Hi, here is something that might interest you. ) Which worked way better than my first attempt.

      I think I will consider doing this when someone posts 4 or 5 (or more if premium) when I notice it - especially if it is someone who hasn't posted a lot if images yet.

      Thanks again!

      Thanks so much, Izzy! My pirate band, with members from my band of pirates! I tried to make it fun, after all - the theme is "My Jolly Sailor Bold"! And my PC had to be bold to wear that hat!

      I had a few awesome bloody kill shots that didn't make the cut, because I wanted to keep it mostly light and fun - and the set was already too long. I may save those for a kill shot set some day.

      As always, I really appreciate your support - and hope to see a themed set from you posted here soon - but I know you have been busy with a conversion. Fingers crossed - because your sets are always awesome!

    Nice! Regarding the loot, a certain someone does like shiny things. I'm sure Jordis & the others won't mind if a few of them went missing. Haha, j/k. Great set & work.

      Hey friend - Thanks! Not sure if you read the sticky, but that certain someone might have been mentioned!

      Haha, Jordis is awesome! As I may have mentioned, she won my heart when she killed a dragon for me when I ran into an inn to sell a few things. I heard the dragon as I hit the door, but went in anyway. When I came out a few minutes later, she was standing there smiling, with the dead dragon behind her! So she is not one to be messed with - she always gets first pick of any loot or treasure I find.

      But I do find a LOT of loot and treasure, so I am sure some shiny things could be passed along...
