This podcast with Mike Selinker has some interesting info and questions asked!  😀   Just listened to it for the second time to refresh and still enjoyed it.

Drua: This ship ignores terrain, except Trade Currents, when she is given a move action. This ship treats all Trade currents as friendly.

If you’re looking for a point cost estimate, I’d put this at 2 points.  The regular ignoring terrain ability was never really worth 3 points in gameplay, and I don’t think the ability to use enemy trade…[Read more]

Where does the art for much of the series come from.

Vincent Dutrait did some of it for the later sets.  Kian Ng (yes the crew in SCS is named after him) did some.  From the BGG page you can see Sandra Garavito and Ethan Pasternack listed as the artists.

Is there a good place to find like an Pirates CSG art dump?

Dumb Question. Comparatively what are the rarity scales between Black (SR), Orange (LE,PR,ETC), and Green (PR, Special). Which are higher in terms of value by order of magnitude (i.e. Crew/Treasure/White -> Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> X -> X ->X.

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]

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)
