@MagExpress: I think the Moonlight is fairly costed.  She seems like a solid hybrid I would try to use.  If you want to adjust the cost I think 15 points would be fair as well.

HUZZAH!!!!  I am now ranking #1 in google search for “Pirates CSG”!!  This has been a goal of mine for a while now, and I was hoping to get there by the end of the summer or fall.  I’m ahead of Wikipedia, BGG, eBay, everything (obviously if MT was still afloat it might be impossible to dislodge).  Just checked in Incognito mode too to make sur…[Read more]

Certainly going deep into experimental territory now… I’ve gone off the rails. XD

Here’s a chance at some Viking and Frozen North stuff: https://ebay.to/2LWJOzh

Smaller than the others but another weighted lot; this time 3 pounds: https://ebay.to/2GiWzjV

Enemy ships get -1 to their boarding rolls against this ship.

I’ve got that ability on some customs, and it would be effectively the same as +1 to boards.  I understand the idea of them as a defensive force, but I think of them as more offense.  In addition, +1 to boards has been around since 2004, so it’s easier to add to an existing keyword a…[Read more]

I like the effect, but 3 points is way too low for what this does. As written it’s worth at least 5 points. It’s equal to or objectively better than a Musketeer in every way:

True… just drives the point home that a lot of crew abilities are too expensive, at least in my opinion.  Upping it to 5 for now I guess.  I’m almost definitely going to do…[Read more]

I am more of an armchair admiral and armchair architect (naval) than player or collector.

Good way to describe it.  🙂

Glad to have ye aboard me ship.  Plenty of pirates from MT be washin’ up on these shores lately.  XD  😛

Brainstorming basic ideas for the 4 Viking coins found in FN that were part of the mail in for the Nordic Raiders pack:
Axe: +1 to boarding rolls
Shield: Enemy ships get -1 to their boarding rolls against this ship.
Spear: Kill extra crew if you win a boarding party in addition to other results (maybe can throw at a ship within S as a one-time…[Read more]

When I first read the heading I thought this would be more about running up the score after it was obvious the game had already been decided.

That might be one of the only reasons to reveal gold when it’s unloaded at HI’s.  Sometimes the game can seem close but in reality it’s a blowout, which isn’t known until the end.  Which is why I sometimes l…[Read more]

Drop that boost (or make it just 1 point instead of 2)

Huh.  I think Wizkids placed Marine at 6 points, which is shown with crew like Grim the Savage from F&S (one of the super basic Marines).  The boost seems like 1 point, while the 5 point Marines have -1 from Hostile.  “Benoit de Marsilles” (original spelling from BC “final” WK spreadsheet) wa…[Read more]

@Holofernes: Huzzah!  Was afraid you might have been washed out to sea with the tide or drowned in the sinking of the Miniature Trading.  😉   But not really.  😀

Super happy to see you here.
