Ben

Little did I know I’d stumble onto this gem of a website, Ben you really have worked a wonder here! Even some of the old forum threads seem to have been preserved or at least continued.

Huzzah!  Welcome back aboard matey!!  I want to say I also remember you participating in some of the Mercenary/submarine debates on MT with captain_nemo and mer…[Read more]

Oh wow I think that was 12 year old me! I had totally forgotten about that haha.  Looking back I definitely could have used a spell checker….

Holy crap he’s back!!   O_O  😀

I have some questions about the set if you have time at some point.  Mainly with formatting – a lot of game pieces have higher costs than they should, because it looks like a…[Read more]

The Raven’s Neck is a decent ship to attempt it with, but it’s just a poor ability in general.  I price it at 1 point instead of 3 on my customs.

The problem is that you have to know you’ll make some kind of profit from the trade.  It becomes essential to know what the other ship has, though you could try to trade a 1 for anything you might get i…[Read more]

At long last, here it is: the Customs Database!

With many creators contributing to add their custom sets, we now have a location for most of the customs currently available for Pirates CSG in one place!  Some of the sets are still works in progress so keep that in mind!  However, there are multiple thousands of customs to choose from and use!!  O_O  😀

@Woelf: Do you know why there doesn’t appear to be a shark building guide in the Start Here rules for OE?  Maybe Wizkids just forgot, or assumed people wouldn’t need a guide for it?

So besides Pirate, What other Games do you play? Like Card or Table top or Role playing?

To probably nobody’s surprise, almost nothing nowadays.  My intense obsession with Pirates has made me a one-trick pony, and I’m happy about it.  😀  XD

In the past (often 10+ years ago) I enjoyed Pokemon, Yugioh, Monopoly, Spades, and some others.  I thi…[Read more]

This means that a silver coin unloaded to your HI from the Song is worth +4 gold, since I do not believe any of these value buffs count as duplicates, since they’re all different. The downside is obviously that you only have one cargo spot left on the boat. I imagine you could try doing something like using the Banshee’s Cry to collect the gol…

What is going on??  Stuff going for 3x+ original MSRP.

ok but if u sac a crew and place the ghost crew fort at the same time

can you use that crew again?

These things wouldn’t happen at the same time – the Sac ability would happen while playing your turn and the crew would stay eliminated as normal.  Forts are only built at the end of your turn.

Shorter print?

This is the most common I’m aware of.  I can actually vouch for it a bit too, since I did buy packs of BC and DJC SE boxes back in the day, but I can’t recall seeing SCS and I know I didn’t buy any.  (there is a chance I just didn’t go to the store when it was there, but it doesn’t seem like it was there long)

@All but especially this thread lately: Please try not to have double posts in short succession, especially when both posts are short.

@Jack: Solid early-set fleet.  I just don’t like the Santiago in general.  I’m seeing her at 11 points so you should have 1 more point.  I also don’t normally put multiple action generators on the same ship, though it makes a bit of sense here since Havana Black doesn’t have many crew to sac.  With the extra point available you could add an oar…[Read more]

@Ochobrazo2298: Solid idea, though I think it could be cheaper (maybe ~12 points) since the Possession ability is so overpriced.

Just thought of a few new Cursed flotillas:

The Devil’s Barge
Faction Affiliation: Cursed
Rarity: R
Type: Flotilla
Point Value: 16
Number of Masts: 1 (N/A)
Cargo Space: 1
Base Move: T
Cannons: 2L-2L-2L-2L
Ability:…[Read more]

It’s a neat idea in theory, but it doesn’t work.  Pirate Code, Page 35.

-The target crew must be completely eliminated and must remain eliminated for the remainder of the game or this ability cannot be used.

Since Fantasma isn’t truly eliminated by Sac, you can’t get an extra action from this.  If you could, it would be quite broken and the UPS fl…[Read more]

This was actually my attempt at justifying ghost ship’s cost haha. I figure ghost ship’s main weakness is ghostly ships can still be shot at normally.

My bad – I reversed the effect or something.  That would make it more expensive.

but if 1 captain gets canceled does the other one work?

No – this in the Pirate Code, page 20.
