Very interesting. Fog hopping on such a large ship is indeed powerful and should not be cheap. however, given the rest of the ships stats, I feel you could come down to 40 points. If only because Storms don’t get used often, even by me! Therefore, to my way of thinking, it would be difficult to get that +1 to d6 rolls ability to kick in, and the s…

Would Luis be able to use his chain shot from that bow cannon, or would he still need to have a target within S?
Still within S, Chain Shot is what allows full range. I have added the various specialist crew titles and their full ability texts under the keywords tab to minimize confusion. The truly new ones (Grapeshot Specialist and G…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic News and Updates Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 7 months ago
I just changed the home page to be “regular” instead of full width. This is mostly so the top menu shows up the same on the home page as it does on nearly all other pages. Added an Affiliate Disclosure to the Privacy Policy page, as I’d prefer to have all the “official legal junk” in one place. XD Since there was a bit of extra room on the t…[Read more]

The very first print run with the “faded” cards was small and sold out almost immediately everywhere.
Unless you’re buying directly from some crazy collector that bought a bunch of stuff early on and buried it somewhere, it is extremely likely (99%) that any unopened boxes or packs you find online will be from the second printing or later.
-
Woelf is on point as always. I don’t think the packs or boxes were different from 1st Printing of SM vs. 1st Edition not 1st printing.
-
@Luis: Yeah, I’m not sure how to distinguish first printing vs. limited (non-first printing) for SM packs. They both have the horizontal artwork, but I’m not sure if there is a bar code/SKU difference or any other way to tell them apart.

Ah cool, thank you! If you don’t mind I’ll actually link to that post in mine with a note about the different SKUs.
