Fittingly enough, this month’s Mega Pack theme is RtSCS (Return to South China Sea), and this month marks 20 years since the original SCS set came out!
Here are some previews….

Ooooh. A new Red Seal ship. That’s quite the speed and cargo for this one, and not too expensive point cost wise. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the mega pack!
Thanks! Your copy is en route to you 🙂

I really want a cursed fort but I don’t know enough about them to make a balanced one. Does anyone have the stats for one you’ve made by chance?
I have some custom Cursed forts in my Epic Seas custom set.
And if you do, would you mind if I used the stats to get a custom one printed. Thank you in advance.
I’m fine with that, though if you mean to p…[Read more]

I have a spare Star of Siam (RV SR) card 1/2 in poor condition if anyone has a 2/2 for it.

Ben started the topic Return to Savage Shores as a community-finished set in the forum Pirates CSG 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Hi fellow pirates,
I really like the idea of RtSS potentially “coming to life” gradually as a community-based project. The set has a page on PSMList where you can view the crew artwork that already exists for it (courtesy of Vincent Dutrait). Gigi recently shared the card background he made for Ébat, a ship from the set. He would be happy to h…[Read more]

This is amazing! Is there a chance for multiple subscription tiers in the future? I would love to support this, but the current is too pricey for me at the moment.
-
Thank you Sam! I don’t currently have plans to add any tiers due to being very busy and due to how the design and production processes work. Under my core products you can see my cheapest main offerings.

Ahoy John! Thanks for the kind words.
I generally recommend Hill’s Wholesale Gaming since they often have the best prices on packs. For beginners, the 9 pack lots of Revolution or Ocean’s Edge could be a great start. They might have a relatively high cost of shipping to Canada, but that might be the case for any stores that aren’t in Canada.
I can’t afford to sell my new ships for only ~$2 each, and as a result haven’t made a starter pack/etc of my own yet.Thanks,
Ben

I take it that cannon rolls and Mortar rolls are considered different for game play purposes? Not that you’d be able to stack the bonuses, since Bomb Vessel prevents that.
Not different for gameplay purposes other than what’s part of the keyword (such as no bonuses beyond the fort one).
Are there plans to use this technical shape without using t…

Hype to see this! Not quite as much cargo as I would have thought, but she does have decent speed for a ship her size and she’s points friendly.
Glad to hear it! I was pretty hyped designing it and seeing the first printed copy come to life is always one of the best parts of this project.
The cargo is based on historical accuracy – the mo…[Read more]
