If that’s the intent, and it can use them from outside the game, it’s horribly underpriced at only 8 gold.

That is the intent.  I guess I didn’t think of all the crazy possibilities with the shot types.  You could freeze an opponent, set them on fire, and cancel all their crew all at once, and that’s not all the shot types.  Cost is jumping up to…[Read more]

The darker and more vivid colors on everything else looks so much better. Crazy collectoring aside, there’s little to no reason to seek out the lighter cards.

I agree completely.  Someone recently at the Facebook group prefers the faded cards and said they love anything with a matte finish.

I’m pretty much all about using a collection, so as lo…[Read more]

Just messaged NECA, Wizkids, and Justin Ziran (President of Wizkids Games) on Facebook about the recent podcasts with 4 of the people who worked on the game.  Also asked if the styrene format is still too cost prohibitive to produce.

Additionally, I’m reasonably OK with a minor faction(outside of mercenaries), or a one-off faction getting slight discounts on ships and crew, since they won’t have any other ships and crew to choose from down the line (probably, assuming that no other customs are made for them); or will have a limited selection of ships and crew compared to est…

A friend of DiggerDaviez posted a video on youtube recently, nice to see another person making video content for the game besides just Xerecs and I.

Pirates CSG: The Lost Tabletop-Phoenix Talks-01

New auctions up from this seller.  Fun to see my site get mentioned in the description, wow!  🙂  CC lot looks interesting with some LE’s and plenty of quantity.

@JW Darkhurst: Doomsday is intense, and she reminds me a lot of my version of HMS Victory.  Though it seems more powerful for less points.  XD  I think it’s best when the faction affiliation is soon after the miniature name, but of course that’s personal preference.

I’m not in favor of making game pieces illegal to use on purpose, so I think th…[Read more]

It would make me crazy (ok, crazier) to have to try to collect one whole set of the “lighter cards” of its first run, then another of the slightly darker ones which came after (not referring to UL).

Yeah, some of the collectors out there have certainly done that, but I just want at least one of everything.  3 sets in 1 is not worth it to me.…[Read more]

I didn’t think of it until now, but I just realized I could use a spare Locker to make a gold Coleoptera using the gold paint I used for my gold island and the gold ship from Command the Oceans.

Also from MI, why is the German print iteration of 028 Prussian Crown (“Preussische Krone”) considered unusual, as noted on the spreadsheet for that set…

I’m sure old_man could come up with a nice list.  😀

For example, the MI 029 Coleoptera/Nautilus error. Is there a picture of concept art for the proper “gold” Coleoptera, online somewhere that I missed?

It’s so bizarre.  A while back at MT, someone had a compelling argument based (I think) on Jules Verne material that said the Coleoptera was sup…[Read more]
