Thanks for your kind reply!
It's a semantic thing - Dave's Harchar was never a 'pirate'; he was always a swashbuckling buccaneer, but never a mere pirate. Dave's attitudes was that any idiot could be a pirate, but that it took brains and imagination to be "an honest seafaring merchant'. His 'wealth enhancement opportunities' were simply breath-taking in their scope and grandeur.
I think the best way you can get a feel for Dave and how he played is to look at "Secrets of Blackmoor", and listen to the people he gamed with - it'll give you a much better feel for him and his gaming that I ever could.
Steve was hysterically funny, and a great sculptor. I miss him a lot.
Watching Dave and Phil riff off of each other was simply spectacular. All the rest of us could do was hang on for dear life.
