If anyone would like to do a podcast episode with me in June or July, let me know!  So far I’m striking out with the recent contacts I’ve been making, so I’m looking to record some more “normal” episodes again.  (latest message was to Mike Mulvihill, he saw it but hasn’t responded)

I feel like I’ve already seen the Sentence and Kontos….

When I get a “theme” or idea I like, I tend to go a little crazy with it.  XD  (_ Fiend, Demon _, Devil’s __, etc)  Using the forum search, I saw that I have released “The Sentencing”, which is a different ship.  I don’t see either of these though, and I’m pretty sure I haven’t messed up any…[Read more]

This is directly contradictory to the complete game rules as the Keyword states that sea monsters CAN ram while the complete game rules say that they cannot ram.

Absolutely.  Wizkids’ handling of the sea creature rules vs. creature “type” keywords (Titan, Sea Dragon, etc) was a colossal mistake.  The sea creature rules are the base rules that a…[Read more]

Pretty neat, I’ve never calculated my completion percentages by set but it’s cool.  Across all the sets I’m nearly “pack complete”, mostly just missing some SR’s and probably a few random things.   Taking LE’s/etc into account I’m probably at least 90% complete for the sets, with the possible exception of something like RotF which has a high pe…[Read more]

I think if the game was still in production then I might have a different opinion, but with the game so far out of production, calling for ‘fixes’ to pieces seems silly and possibly a waste of time. If people feel strongly about it, then they should communicate with their playgroup well before hand if the game is to be taken in a more casual man…

Weirdness continues. When I’m on the main forum page, I’m shown as not logged in. However, once I click on a thread and go in, I’m suddenly logged in. I haven’t checked the Customs thread yet though. I’m fairly sue that the oddity is on my end, though I’m not sue what to do about it, since I’ve already removed some cookies and stuff.

Maybe i missed the thread for this but I need an answer to this question as it has been a point of contention in my play group for a long time.

Merged with this sticky thread since this is the thread for all Rules questions.

The game rules are very unclear about sea monsters, can they explore and get treasure or not?

Check out the rules for Sea…[Read more]

I HATE meta gaming and I feel like one of the best ways to avoid it is by nerfs and occasional buffs for example why not try costing musketeers at 2 and helmsman at 3?

That makes sense, I just like the idea of keeping captains and helmsmen at their current costs as a “base” level.  Mainly to simply drive down the cost of other crew – I really…[Read more]

Can a player choose the order with a Switchblade ram when there’s a blade ram and a regular ram? (or must blades come first)

Can you explore two friendly ships at once with one explore action? (between three ships at once for a double/three-way transfer)

When towing, can you move S, drop the derelict/flotilla, and then continue with the rest o…[Read more]

@uadoom: Nice!  The Pawtucket was involved in my latest game.  Good ships overall, the Paul Revere is one of my favorites.

@Countupyourcoyne: Sounds like a large influx of ships!  One of the things I miss about being mostly complete (at least with stuff from packs) is the thrill of the hunt and opening packs to get stuff I don’t already have.
