These models are a little larger than I thought they’d be, is that an actual light at the top?
Yes! Having an actual light is one of my favorite things about these, especially since it’s tied into the keyword. The light can be turned off in accordance with the keyword. 😀
These particular lights are the best for them I’ve found so far – no wi…[Read more]

Re-Introducing: Lighthouses!
Jeremiah and I are collaborating to bring his custom lighthouses to life!
The Customs Database now has the keywords listed on the first tab, and here is the new version of the Lighthouse keyword:
Building lighthouses follows the conditions for building forts. Gold used to build the lighthouse is placed face-up…[Read more]

Sealed pack games would be a fun way to break some of them out! Especially if you plan to open all of them soon anyway – might as well get the experience of a sealed format before doing so again requires a further purchase.

Brian,
Sounds like fun! That seems to be a hybrid of a couple different things I’ve seen done in the past – a sealed pack game (where people build a fleet from the packs they open), and a Draft format. On page 6 of the old tournament rules, there is a section about sealed events. At Miniature Trading we had both a Draft Fleet Challenge and a…[Read more] -

Hey y’all. Right, so turns out I had more time and inspiration than I thought. Now that I’ve gotten my feet wet with VASSAL – I don’t like leaving a job only part done. I’ve completely re-updated my VASSAL contribution! I’m calling it 2.3 and I’ll try to get it added to the main module page on VASSAL’s website. Updated assets in the Dropbox too…

Ben replied to the topic Master Spreadsheet Edits Log in the forum Pirates CSG 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Today’s fix: Eliminated extra “is” from ability text for Dr. Forbes Beattie (CC 045), Doctor Urbano Javier (062), Father Rene Bordeaux (RV 064a and RV UL064a), and “Hacksaw” Riley (RV 097a and RV UL097a). Also added comma after “eliminated” for all of their ability texts.
Last .xlsx update on the homepage is from 5/24/2024.

Nice! Another powerhouse hybrid. She’ll be an absolute star in any big games, especially with the high point cap combined with the high cargo – tons of room to further optimize with expensive crew.
With that, the largest custom set I’ve worked on to date is finished! It’s taken us slightly less than a year of mostly daily posting to see 500+ ship…

Thank you! It is an option I’ve thought about a tiny bit. There are a lot of ways to distribute the set, so I’ll likely experiment and see what options make the most sense over time.

Incredible! This is such an achievement! I wonder how open people would be to applying decals to pieces themselves. I imagine it would save a signs amount of time not having to cut and apply decals to each ship. I know personally I would have no problem applying decals myself if I purchased something like this.

Confirming for a Discord user: A crew with the Sac ability cannot use it on themselves to give their ship an extra action, correct?
Once per turn, you may eliminate one of this ship’s crew to give her an extra action.
Answered before I’m sure, but didn’t see it in the Code so I wanted to make sure I didn’t give them the wrong answer.

Hey y’all, I made a macro-enabled Excel worksheet that displays a random asset (ship, crew, etc.) from the official sets based on Set, Rarity, and Faction parameters (or you can randomize each).
Amazing! This is really cool, thanks for making both of these! For years people have wondered about a pack opening simulator type thing.

100% player I suppose, but I only just rediscovered this hobby as of about a week ago so all that’s been on VASSAL at a grand total of 3 solitaire games so far. Very much a newbie again!
Welcome aboard! Glad you’re already playing again!
In the last week or so I’ve put together a randomizer excel and made some custom VASSAL assets to enjoy the…
