Letting them go into the regular forum is probably fine for now. They would get much better/more responses here instead of being sequestered off in an adjacent area. If there is a sudden influx of reviews, and a new forum section was added, I assume any created beforehand would be relatively easy to move over.

Exactly.  Indeed, it is easy for me…[Read more]

@kaiserg: Thank you!  Adding those questions to the list!

Pokemon and Yugio were your childhood obsessions?

I was born in 1994 (24 now), so I was a kid right when Pokemon was really taking off and blowing up in the States.  Yugioh seemed slightly more mature and was something I got into a little later, plus Pokemon was more immersive with toys/games/movies/CCG/etc vs. Yugioh was mostly a card game. (and…[Read more]

Is there a good place for others to post them? Creating a whole new section of the forums might be a good option if there’s enough demand for it, and this post (or a duplicate of it) could be made into a sticky at the top for easy access.

I’m fine with people creating a new thread for their reviews, or posting them here in this thread.  I hate to…[Read more]

That’s a bit too fast for the price. Add a helmsman and you’ve got a guaranteed 4S every turn, and the 5S would be pretty easy to achieve most turns unless the islands were really spaced out.

Drop the printed base to S+S and it’s a more interesting design, but still maybe underpriced for what it gives you.

Agreed, the 5S would happen a lot. Dropp…[Read more]

I’m very excited that I have found a website that still remembers Pirates Of The Spanish Main and the following sets.

I’m excited to see another new member!

The Loki’s Revenge is from Frozen North; you can find all of the game pieces in the Master Spreadsheet.

Feel free to post any fleets you make in this thread!

@lovewitch: Welcome aboard!!

They’ve played Pokemon and Yugioh for a while now

Sounds familiar!  Those were two of my childhood obsessions, especially Pokemon.

Anyway I’ve been searching ebay for some good finds and it’s like I’ve started over again as I haven’t really played since DJC.

There are some deals on there!  Hope you enjoy playing – fe…[Read more]

it’s always satisfying to be able to build a fleet for any of them while knowing you’ve got every option available.

Exactly.  That’s one of my favorite things about being nearly complete in terms of booster pack items.  I also love seeing the numbers go up sequentially without gaps, especially with JR and BC ships.

Really interesting topic, and n…

“double this cannon’s printed range and reduce it’s accuracy to 5. Roll two D6, you must choose the smaller number. If the canon’s accuracy is already 5, this ability may not be used.” This way ships that already have the extended range ability aren’t negated.

I think it would be easier to just give all ships the Sniping ability, rather than…[Read more]
