Well as I posted about two week ago I managed to kill all of my PCs in the Forgotten Forge. We had alot of fun with the game, and the guys learned a bit about Eberron, but now I'm looking for something different. I'm thinking that I want to do some kind of pirate game, with the new group of PCs being a member of a pirate's press gang, or passengers on a ship. If its the ship I want to try and go with a locked room style murder mystery. Otherwise I'm just hoping for some ideas about what you all think would be fun and piratey.

you could look into the freeport series (series of adventures + city setting) from Green Ronin Publishing if you don't have any ideas yourself. Modify it to Eberron. The ancient snake civilization could be replaced by the Dakhaani civilisation. The infiltrated snake priest could be a changling mercenary working for the Heirs etc... (it's been a long time since I played Freeport so... I do remember a thread on this board about porting freeport to Eberron though.)

A pirate adventure I'm thinking of using myself comes from the books "The Kings Buccaneer" written by Raymond E. Feist. It's a fantastic book (it does help if you have read the Riftwar Saga by Feist and are already familiar with the world of Midkemia) and it maps very well to a playable adventure, more so then other books since it is written almost entirly from the point of view of the good guys and not jumping too much.

The story is about a prince visiting his uncle. The town of his uncle is raided by slavers and those who are not killed are taken as slaves. The Prince together with his friends goes after them dressed up as pirates to resque his niece taken by the slavers.
