Howdy!
I'm putting together a pirate compaign, but I want to stay away from any APs like "Skulls & Shackles". I just want to drop the party in a "pirate like location" and run a serious of evening one-shots for them to enjoy.
THE question! Or probably questions....
1. Has anyone out there done this before? IF so, what worked for you? What was your location? I'm not opposed to the Skulls & Shackles AP location.... is it event out for PF2? I'm kind-of new to things....
2. What's a good pirate location?
3. Any good pirate-like sourcebooks that Paizo put out?
4. Any good 3rd party sourcebooks I could find and convert?
5. Any feedback in general, is deeply appreciated.
Thanks all!

The Shackles is the most detailed location for Piratey Adventure here's some great resources to help:

All right, this all looks solid, and I'll check things out! Thank you for taking the time to respond and post. Most appreciated!

Freeport, the City of Adventure is an AMAZING resource for a super detailed pirate town with cthulhu-like undertones.
There's nearly 100 adventure seeds throughout the book, a bunch of NPCs littered throughout, and detailed descriptions for more buildings than you'll ever need.I can't suggest this book enough.
Warped Savant is 1000% correct. There is no better pirate themed setting than Freeport. It kind of came into being as part of the process that created Golarion (many characters in Freeport Lore are PCs belonging to Paizo creatives). I actually place my version of Freeport south of the secret red assassin island which is a small island called The Hermitage I think.
Anyway, I’ve been planning on converting Death in Freeport to Pathfinder 2 for a while now. I should probably step to it.
Death in Freeport LIVES!

For my Skull & Shackles / Return to Freeport campaign I erased Port Peril, put Freeport in the cove on the northern portion of the western shore of Jeopardy Bay, and made it the capital of the Shackles :D (But kept the population numbers from Port Peril)
