now if we can just get someone to handle decals? If I had the expertise I would do it! Anyhow it is great to be back and I look forward to seeing the continued progress of this game for current generations to experience.

Ahoy, I am doing decals every week. Various products at the Store with more to come.  🙂

Now available: Oak Island!

Especially for fans of The Curse of Oak Island TV show, this is the perfect thing to bring into your Pirates games!  Could also work well with themed/region games such as New World discovery, American Revolution scenario, etc.

Pirates of the Golden Seas is now available on PSMList!  (complete with full card gallery)

I played a bit about 10 years ago, but I’m not going to pick this back up.  I’m trying to figure out the correct / easiest way to sell these.

Are there some chase card lists I should double-check first then bulk sell?  Something else?  Open to ideas and suggestions.  Cheers.

I would check Gladius’ price histories to see if you’ve got some of the…[Read more]

Here is the latest master artwork template – for full art custom crew.

To get the card background on the front to look right, line your card background up with the card dimensions, have it just underneath the Clipping Path in the layers panel, then go to Object>Clip>Set Clip to crop it to the pattern.
