I think you missed a point value or two
Any game pieces I didn’t comment on or suggest a new cost for are fine as-is in my opinion.
Also what lore descriptions did you like best so far?
I only read a few since I was focusing on the point costs and gameplay aspects.
Even with the new wording, you can still use crew without the Linked keyword…[Read more]

Ben started the topic PSA: Consider making scans/high quality pictures of cards before punching them in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 11 months ago
Going forward, it seems that a scans database of ALL Pirates CSG cards will be incredibly useful. Not just for reference and neat pictures or files, but especially for printing artwork for blank ship templates made via 3D printing or other means.
Especially if you have a scanner (or camera), consider making scans or pictures of any Pirates CSG…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 11 months ago
If anyone was wondering why the faction order for Epic Seas is completely different than my normal faction order (for collection organization and the Age of Sail set), it’s because I wanted to emphasize different factions for that set. The Cursed play a huge role, and the Mercenaries could realistically be second in the spreadsheet. However, t…[Read more]

Wow, nice! Even without the formatting, that’s really useful. Thanks!
Now that I’m using it a little to get Godmason’s customs in the Customs Database, I’m finding random errors. Sometimes full words or cannons are missing from a post, so it’s not nearly a perfect conversion even as far as the text goes. However, I converted one of the big…[Read more]

Just printed a test cube from this process and it happens to be the perfect size for a little fort, a building, or a coin deposit! You could even stack up coins and hide them underneath. (4 master for scale heh)

How to Play Pirates CSG Solo
Over the years, some players have asked how to play Pirates CSG solo, without any “real” opponents. These are sometimes called “solitaire” games. Although it may sound lame or b […]

Great news: with google drive you can upload a picture that has text and open it with google docs to convert it to regular text. I just tried it with a capture of the original Custom Ships Organized Version thread (nearly 3MB with a ton of text) and it worked. Doesn’t preserve the formatting but at least an option.

Among other things there are full booster boxes of CC, RV, and BC!

Ben replied to the topic What If: Topps had shut down Wizkids one week earlier? (2 days before SS) in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 11 months ago
Have you heard of any new players that discovered Pirates or were introduced to it via Savage Shores?
I think I remember at least one member of the Facebook group getting into the game via SS. Though it may have been by chance last decade rather than when the set was still in stores.
It’s just interesting that RtSS has been known about for…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic The 3D Printing Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 11 months ago
Something I thought of today: people have expressed considerable interest or enjoyment in the large-scale ships seen at the Minnesota RenFest and those from PDXYAR. 3D printed ships would be limited by the size of the print bed, but simply by upscaling the x, y, and z axis of each model, you could print ships of varying sizes. 😀 (some ad…[Read more]

I still think the timing towards the end of the game’s production run is fascinating. Savage Shores was released on 11/5/2008. Only 5 days later, Topps shut down Wizkids, ending the active production of Pirates CSG so far.
If it happened only a week before, it seems that Savage Shores would still have been sold in stores, but perhaps some of i…[Read more]
