Sorry to spam the forum but I figured this campaign was different enough to warrant a separate thread.
Pirate Princes of Sartosa is a warbands campaign that can be played escalation style and includes some mechanics that are a little more boardgame-esque, having players move around Sartosa by land and sea as a pirate crew, exploring specific locations, and obtaining quests while recruiting unique Special Characters.
I've always found small points games super fun and useful for quick games, teaching others to play, and building up armies as a play group finds time to buy and assemble models. I wanted to make a campaign pack that would be perfect for this and serve as an introduction to narrative campaigns. A few years after finishing up Conquest of Lustria, I was able to devote time to fleshing out my notes on Pirate Princes, finally finishing it last year just in time to see GW abandon 8th edition entirely.
It was supposed to be a "smaller" campaign, and in terms of gameplay, it is, but the quest system ended up requiring a ton of creative writing and so the Pirate Princes book ended up twice as big as Lustria. ^__^;;
