   There is, in the older part of Poole, a shop like no-other.

   Caution must be taken, ‘cos strange chaps in black, their collars raised and their hats low enter at unusual times. Talk inside can turn to subjects alchemical, spiritual or piratical. Indeed, discreet signs state that should you wish to hire the services of pirates, then enquire. Further evidence of strange cultists, giant lobsters in the dark, abandoned places of the word can also be found. There is talk of vampire pirates and sky-pirates yet to be encountered.

   Strange devises can be purchased, or ordered, within. Should you wish more mundane items such as a severed head or a silver spike (werewolf grade)these are of-the-shelf. Companies such as Alchemy Gothic and nemesis Now abound.

   Further comments can be heard about strange travel to Mars and the other colonies, and battle done thereof to such foes of the British Empire as are found there. Further mention of “Space 1899″ and Wessex games VSF series, and evidence thereof of such land leviathans and aeronefs, both human and Martian as chonicled by Mr Wells and others, can be had.

   Unfortunately such mundane matters as these prevent myself Guv (quartermaster of the crew of the Black Rose, privateer ‘nef out of the Port o Poole) and Captain Rosie Crow from joining you at the next meeting. Hopefully one of our crew, a certain Mr Byron, will join you. Beware.

   Please feel free to drop into our quiet little shop. I know some of you know the way, ‘cos there’s some familiar faces here.
