It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here XD, I just sat down to do a spreadsheet of my collection (so far just named crew, ships and unique treasure) and I’m up near 800 unique game pieces. I think I might post some photos soon to since I had the bug and some extra cash and grabbed a couple fresh packs and sealed boxes.

Awesome, looking forwa…[Read more]

Fourth of July themed game

Baba Yaga, CC LE’s and more up for grabs!

Nice paint job!  I know some flag files have been shared in the discord, but I don’t think they were specifically for 3D printing.

Welcome aboard!

Slowly converting my Jade Rebellion fleet into 3D painted ships.

How is the painting process going?  Are you using PLA?

Can a crew captured via the Possession ability be transferred to a friendly ship of the same nationality and use their abilities on the second ship?  The Code entry for Wraith makes me think not, but nothing in the Possession ability forbids it.

Awesome, hyped for CoEC!

The silly Pirates nerd in me is trying to think of a reason to not place all of them.  I assume since each token is considered a UT that they’re not considered “available gold” for endgame co…[Read more]

@Skelebone: Nice to see so many new customs!  With customs feedback I generally prefer to recommend only point cost adjustments so everything else with the game piece can stay the same, barring any broken abilities/etc.  Here are my thoughts:

Gladan: 6 points
Turuma keyword is neat, I’d be interested to try out the rotation movement.

From today’s game, if a player successfully rolls for SAT, moves with their first action and then has their Captain ability cancelled, can they then choose to NOT repeat the first action (since the ability says “may be given the same action twice”) and instead shoot via the Sac ability?  Or are they locked in once they complete the first…[Read more]

@Woelf: Are you able to confirm the approximate release dates of RV UL and BC UL? (holiday season 2005 and mid-2006 respectively)

More from cakes1974 including some “penny auctions” of some rare stuff.
