@Jonathan Bowen: Repeating Guns seems like a very risky ability. I suggest changing it to “this ship” for the last part of the wording.
The “Gil-Adriel” (Galadriel?) seems extremely overpriced. I would capitalize the C to make it Cursed (more obvious that it’s factional) and drop the “actions are not abilities” part since it seems unnecessary.…[Read more]

Huh, assuming they EACH cost 16 points, Takea could come down to maybe 9 or 10 points. Speed is good but sharks are horrendous in gameplay.
I like the flavor/ability of Kes quite a lot, but 10 points is way too high. I would say the ability is about equally bad and good, and could see a point cost of about 4 I think. Also, by 2 masted “sloop”,…[Read more]

Funny you mention THC, since just after I posted, I thought about potentially transforming the center “cross” or archipelago islands (some of them anyway) into a potential “Ring of Fire”…. O_O More on that next session I would think….

Haha, I thought of similar, but more towards rings of power from LotR rather than infinity stone. I guess…[Read more]

@All: Sorry for any glitches in the forum such as the tag buttons disappearing; I’m trying to optimize the site and sometimes plugins disable things unfortunately.

@Xerecs (wow, looks like doing that automatically links to a member’s page, nice! XD)
Mhak: We’ve seen that ability too much already; I find it hard to believe there is some flavor…[Read more]

Ahoy J.W. Darkhurst, thanks for joining my site! 🙂 I’m not a huge fan of bringing LotR into Pirates but the game pieces look fair and appropriately costed so far.

Unique Treasure
Ability: You may unload this treasure at your home island. If so, roll a d6. On a 1, eliminate the crew on this ship with the highest point cost. If…[Read more]

Not sure why the Hirun is so expensive given some of the decent 2 masters out there (Cutlass for example) that are far better for less points. Seems like cargo has been underpriced on your customs lately, though the Viso’s ability does hold her back enough to justify only 4 points I think (especially given that the Paradox is good but not quite…[Read more]

I think you should literally reverse the point costs on those. Bara is a fantastic gold runner/small hybrid who probably won’t need to repair much anyway. (either safe at home with loot, or captured/sunk by opposition) On the contrary, Ekop is a very middling ship even without factoring her cost into the equation, which makes her pretty much…[Read more]

I think the Moonbeam’s ability could be easy to keep track of. You could purposely wait until the end of the turn to shoot with her, or simply give up in situations where you needed her to take actions before other ships. Although some weirdness could occur if she was the last ship you shot with on a turn, but long before your turn ended so you…[Read more]

Some interesting slow gold runners there…. so Agi would be S+S+S for 7 points for 4 cargo on the way out, and S+S with about 4 coins on the way back… seems reasonable I suppose. The second one (reminds me of some Savage Shores pronunciations) is neat. I don’t think Nui’s ability is going to help her much, but perhaps there could be some…[Read more]

The inspiration behind the Nurak was a character that compelled people to go back to their job/task. I translated it as best I could without making it too similar to existing mind control pieces.

Kinda weird for Pirates; maybe the ships that get hit cannot shoot at Nurak on their next turn? What makes the most sense to me would be forcing them to…[Read more]
