I think my alternate way of posting the podcast is why your quotes have the coding in them… yet another thing on my Pirates to do list….

There certainly are issues such as putting him on a Home island raider and then teleport right to the home island could very easily be a game changer in that regard.

Great point.  I have a feeling his…[Read more]

Jean and Dominique AE American right? Their flavor leads me to believe that they might be French….

Oops!  They are French and I must have just continued the faction from the previous day.

I guess Sharpton is kind of tailor-made for the Constitution, but oh well.  I could always change the defensive ability to something more anti-Pirate, like +1…[Read more]

I also think that Sharpton is fine as-is. I would probably NOT use him on his linked ship though. I’d probably put him on the RV constitution!

Good point… there’s a good case to be made that he should be the one with the massive anti-Pirate/Cursed bonuses, but I don’t necessarily want all that on something like the Zhanfu.  Plus he trained th…[Read more]

I really like the Justice and Sharpton.

Glad to hear that!

the + to die rolls would affect cannons yes? O would it only affect things like EA/SAT, Boarding?

+1 to d6 rolls against a specific faction is simply an upgraded version of the typical faction-hater ability that affects cannon rolls.  It applies to all d6 rolls made specifically AGAINST…[Read more]

Sounds like a rule for a campaign, and would lend itself well to islands that have paths cut into them, like my arch island, or the Bone Temple island.

Indeed; it’s kinda similar to the army unit land movement rules for the World game.  I think it makes sense too, since a person might be able to run about as fast as a sailing ship’s average cruising speed.

I did that simply because the islands wee large, and it felt silly to have only one stack of coins per island.

One thing I’ve done in the past is have different coins in different areas of an island.  A ship can only load coins from where it docks.  This is easier when you have islands with multiple beaches to dock at, but you could also let c…[Read more]

Wow, you should have taken pictures given the awesome islands in play!

Flung is such a funny word haha, great usage of that in the BR.  Sounds like Blackheart took over!  That’s a lot of gold for the game size.  Interesting rule with the stacks.
