I realize I’m not going to win this argument, but I have a bone to pick with the rules.  🙂

The sea creature rules state that sea creatures cannot be assigned crew.

This crew may use its abilities onboard any ship.

The Pirate Code, page 5:

Sea creatures are considered to be ships. Any actions, abilities, or other effects that refer…

@Ochobrazo2298: Neat kraken!  I like the base move especially to set it apart from the others.

@All: My custom sets are primarily found at the Customs Database from now on; my sets on their original sheet may become out of date for now.  Once I’m done with batches of new customs in the main Database I hope to/might update the sheet that just has my sets.

The fleet above is why I’m happy to see posts to this thread.  I don’t know if I’ve ever put anything other than a helmsman and maybe an oarsman on the Artesien.  That linked combo is very cool because it fills out the ship’s point cap space while still saving room for 3 open cargo spaces.  The cancelling is a great thing to have on a gold ru…[Read more]

As is often the case, I made a post about this.  I haven’t had many OE cards as bad as you describe though.

Now I’m confused again. In game 2 between the French fleet and the UPS one, it ends with the Sea Crane establishing the Devil’s Maw. But France can still move. La Courageux is actually a nightmare for the Devil’s Maw to deal with because she can just sit so only one short gun of the fort is in range and fire with impunity. How come the game ended…

Not sure if this question goes here but here goes. I’ve noticed a few “unofficial” keywords when describing semi-common abilities, like “Fog-hopper”. If at all possible is there some kind of general list of unofficial keywords of the like.

Once upon a time there was a thread with all of the common abbreviations, acronyms, and such. I think tha…

There are plenty of references though to a main plot, scattered all over the game but no source that really ties it all together.  I’ve done some searching online and I can’t seem to find any real source of official Pirates lore either.

Maybe putting together the different pieces of flavor text and lining out the story would be a fun proje…

Bunch of solid auctions up… including both island/terrain sets, PotC SR pack, kraken lot, and some of the PotC SE ships.

Somewhat soon I will probably become much busier with the Navy and therefore won’t be nearly as active as usual (again).  However, that may not quite be the case.  Either way, I should actually be MORE active over the next few weeks, so I’m looking forward to getting a lot of stuff done.  😀

I’m sure I have the original file kicking around somewhere along with “The Resurrection” set as well. I’ll take a peek and let you know. It might be a fun project to clean up and continue with some of the old ideas I had.

Most excellent!

I did also notice you made a comment on the original site asking about the “Admiral” keyword. From what I can…

Ghost ships are actually ideal for ramming and boarding situations like this.

You mean to stay ghostly until you need to board?

Meanwhile El Puerto Blanco was established on an island near the pirate base, with the plan being to use the Bahama to ferry gold there from the pirate HI.

Nice!  I don’t know if I’ve thought of that before.  Makes me w…[Read more]

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]
