Hi Steve. Good to hear from you and welcome back. The Basic rules are pretty steady. There are some Advanced rules on the beta site with a few bugs, but it includes full sails, bow and stern guns, critical hits, wind change, other shot types (chain, grape, etc.) and lots of new scenarios. The exploding ship icon is pretty cool!
You can always check out the Newbies Guide.

On a sad note, if you remember Johnny Beamsderfer (pbass111), he died a few years ago.
See ya round!

So, the formerly more advanced rules, grappling and such, are no in the basic site, not the Beta site, right? Those works pretty well? I recall lots of bugs with grappling.
Yes, I was aware of pbass as I had been speaking to him at the time. Sad indeed.
I don't recall full sails (on this site), so, that must be new since I left. So, I take it most people don't use the beta site then?
