Michael LoPresti of Rogues Armada
Michael LoPresti is one of the earliest Jack Sparrow impersonators and coordinator of the Rogues Armada, a worldwide consortium of pirate entertainers.

We dig into how the group came together and what everyone gets out of it. And we dive into the Jack Sparrow biz and how it’s changed since he got into it. And, of course, some good hilarious “road stories”. 🙂

TF Wright of The Pirate's Fate
T.F. Wright, with is co-creator Volkenfox, is the author of a visual novel called The Pirate’s Fate. It’s a “Choose Your Own Adventure” style pirate book for the modern age.

In our talk we discuss his strategies for keeping track of so many story lines at once, the changing nature of villains and how to keep them interesting, and why some people might be uncomfortable with anthropomorphised animals even though Disney and Warner Brothers have been using them for decades.
