Apparently DF 12 is going to be Ninjas.

Treasure Island is a good book for adventure ideas and the movie the Goonies has many ideas for tricks and traps for adventures. A sailing adventure is often fun as there are many hazards along the way and then you can go to an island with strange creatures as you look for treasure. Sinbad has many ideas too. So for me, I would really like a book about High Seas DF.

Yeah, the more I think about it, 'aquatic' lenses for the existing templates (barbarian+aquatic lens=Viking!) and a supplement about seaborne adventuring in general (ships, monsters, aquatic dungeons, relevant skills, etc) instead of focusing just on the guys singing 'yo-ho-ho' seems like the way to go. Because really, all pirates are is adventurers* who manage to annoy the powers-that-be and (usually) know how to swim...

*okay, they're basically seafaring bandits. But they're seafaring bandits with *style*
