Big boxes ending tonight! https://goo.gl/GWXNjX

Plus a 3 pack lot of SM up now.

My brother, dad, and friends we’re really into it, so we would have these massive 6 or so player battles that would take forever if everyone were just given one action per turn.

Are they still into it then? (“we’re”)

One action per turn isn’t how the main rules work – were you only allowing players to have a single ship do something each t…[Read more]

Some neat things I’ve finally commented on: custom 5 master, customs by cannonfury, French review, another post, another, OmegaTraf on a different forum.  Also found some Pirates videos on youtube from WAY back in the day, like 2006-2009.  🙂

@Jeremiah: Thanks for the great questions!

5. How did they make them?

Are you asking how Wizkids made the product, or how the designers made the game pieces with stats/abilities/etc?

6. Does he recall any sets/plans or potential directions Wizkids had in the works? Like what was the direction they had planned for the game?

I’m not sure when his…[Read more]

Huzzah!  Finally a quick and easy fix!  Looking at this solution, all I had to do to enable pagination of thread topics was to disable the threaded/nested reply feature, which I didn’t really like anyway.  Right now I’ve set things to have up to 100 threads per forum page, with 30 replies per page. (twice MT’s limit of 15; I may increase the lat…[Read more]

I’ve taken recently to listening to Adrian von Zeigler, I used two of his compositions in the island making video. Other than him I’ve discovered Antti Martikainen.

I knew I remembered that first name from somewhere.  They were two of the composers I/we listened to during CG1.  I’ll have to get them up during THC sometime.

@Ben

Just looked a bit through your customs sheet and discovered your three planned lighthouses. I’m excited to see what ideas you have for them. The Pillar of Eternity is a great addition already. Its ability (I won’t spoil your announcement of it since it has yet to be revealed) fits right into preexisting Pirates abilities so it doesn’t seem…

Has anyone in the Pirating community played a PC game titled East India Company? It’s a decent game in the age of sail.

No, but like the dozens of naval and empire video and board games I’d love to play someday, it looks very cool.  If Pirates ever comes back or categorically can never come back for some reason, I hope to someday in the distant fu…[Read more]

So should it return I like the idea of a hybrid system where there is some degree of certainty and better miniature distribution but keep some aspects of the collectible alive.

I agree.  I think a box with 10 ships could have perhaps 8 guaranteed and then 2 random.  I like having a 9/10 odds selection for essential generic crew (…[Read more]
