Definitely a vote for Corsair from me!
My thinking on what the ditty means is that it was a common practice (or myth) that when a pirate captain buried a secret treasure, he took a few loyal men and a bunch of grunts (let's say 15 in the case of this ditty) to actual dig and bury the treasure. Then, so that the treasure's hiding place remained secret, the pirate captain and his loyal men killed the grunts and buried them atop the treasure chest so that they would not try to steal it for themselves.Not sure what that is supposed to look like. How about a dead man clutching a chest?
Considering I love the Golden Age of Piracy as an era for some reason (Probably 'cos of Monkey Island -_-) that was fun to read XDMy thinking on what the ditty means is that it was a common practice (or myth) that when a pirate captain buried a secret treasure, he took a few loyal men and a bunch of grunts (let's say 15 in the case of this ditty) to actual dig and bury the treasure.

Just a theory, but believe it's correct ...
But yes, a dead man clutching a treasure chest would be very cool!
Yes, the subject of pirates is always fun, that's why I hope "Corsairs" is the next Pixel Myth. I wanted to add to my earlier post that the yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum part of the ditty refers to the Captain and his loyal crew drinking and celebrating around their buried treasure (the fifteen men on a dead man's chest).My thinking on what the ditty means is that it was a common practice (or myth) that when a pirate captain buried a secret treasure, he took a few loyal men and a bunch of grunts (let's say 15 in the case of this ditty) to actual dig and bury the treasure.

There is a western http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/graphics/wild-west-tiles-pack sort of, more of wild west though.Voted Corsair, but I would love to see one of the following sets even more:
- Underwater (Atlantis themed)
- Vikings (could potentially be linked with the Corsair stuff!)
- Western (cowboys, indians, cacti, tumbleweeds... the works!)
True enough.... and honestly that pack looks pretty decent. I guess I just want a lot of tiles in that vein!There is a western http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/graphics/wild-west-tiles-pack sort of, more of wild west though.
Yea, we have a million options for towns, and dungeons(especially if you buy the other resource packs on this site), but the options for castle design are so limited, It's laughably bad.Threw in my vote for castle. Just seems logical and the rest can come later (in my opinion).
