If you copy Sea Dragon to a Titan, can the Titan make swoop attacks?  The Sea Dragon keyword mentions “base”, which a Titan might not have (unless it would be considered where it touches the water for copying purposes).

Thanks For the input! Will revise.  I think ballast could be a one per fleet crew but not have Limit.
Like: You may only have one of this crew per fleet. You may eliminate this crew to give this ship an extra S to this ship’s base move for the rest of the game. (You have to include this crew into the build total.)

If it’s a named crew, the “one…[Read more]

Does the Sea Monster movement bonus ability (Sargasso Nightmare, El Pescador, etc.) apply to the target Sea Monster for one move action or an entire turn? For example, if I have a friendly SM within L of El Pescador and I give that Monster a move action that puts it out of range of El Pescador. If I give that Monster a second action to move…

How does the ability of Intermediario interact with Mysterious Islands? Would his ability bypass any effects of revealed MI’s? As in, I wouldn’t need to roll for effects if I use Intermediario to get treasure onto a nearby friendly ship(s)?

Another clarification: for the multiplayer endgame rules regarding “half or more players” can’t give future move actions, I assume you’d round up in a game with an odd number of players?  (ex: in a 9 player game, 5 would have to be eliminated for it to end because rounding down to 4 from 4.5 would violate the “or more” intention)

The “or more” co…[Read more]

When is the determination made on whether or not Mysterious Island effects will be used?  Based on the Setup rules it seems it would be decided between placing islands and placing terrain, but before choosing home islands.

There’s not really any specific timing on that, but it makes the most sense to decide whether or not to use them before you…[Read more]

When is the determination made on whether or not Mysterious Island effects will be used?  Based on the Setup rules it seems it would be decided between placing islands and placing terrain, but before choosing home islands.

Just to clarify, when placing terrain, players can pick from the pool of what has been contributed by all players, correct?  Or do they have to place their own, or randomly as determined by d6 roll or RNG? 

Everything in the pool is fair game for placement.  It does not have to be something they contributed themselves.

Ahoy mateys!Three players are flying up from Los Angeles to join the PNW Pirates for a weekend of piratey gaming! We are currently expecting about 6 players per game! We will be playing at least 3-4 games of Pirates CSG at Mox Boarding House in Bellevue. We might also play a game of Epic Scale Pirates (made by Captain Redgoat of PDXYAR in Portland…[Read more]

If you use terrain, players should agree on the number of terrain pieces that will be used; we recommend that…

Name: Ballast
Point Cost: 3
Ability: You may eliminate this crew to give this ship an extra S to this ship’s base move for the rest of the game. (You have to include this crew into the build total.)

This one is game-breaking as written.   For only a single point more than a standard Helmsman you’ve got one that is permanent, un-cancellable, tak…[Read more]

@Ochobrazo2298:

I think Ballast would alter the game, for better or worse.  A lot of ships would get it and eliminate it immediately to get the whole +S for the game, acting as a stackable helmsman which when paired would give any ship +S+S to their base move.  By eliminating it before moving, you could also use the free transfer rules while d…[Read more]

Something I thought of while making some custom ship stats was, so if a named crew with the cargo master keyword is linked to a ship, does that mean that the cargo hold of the ship would be expanded by one? the ability text of cargo master states that a crew with this keyword take up no cargo space on the ship it is placed and the linking makes an…
