Normally Pirates get discounts on crew and whatnot, I would say this is one exception where he should cost more than the sum of his abilities.

Thank you for admitting that; that’s exactly what should happen.  Helmsman+SAT is not a combo that should really exist on crew due to how absurdly awesome it is.  I priced SAT at 5 in my Total Recosting, b…[Read more]

Did something go wrong with Event costs?

Yup, Wizkids massively underpriced many of them.  XD  I guess I’m overcorrecting, but I can’t help it.  I’m fine if people want to make their own recostings or edit mine for their own usage.  I just hate certain events too much to not make them obsolete, because I feel that they should never have existed.

@JW: I like the Neverland and would love to use her.  Given the costs of the Intrepid (15 points for a better gunship) and others, I think the cost is fine.

I didn’t realize that Armed Merchant can be used in addition to shooting, for basically an extra shot each time the ship shoots.  I’m not sure if that should be more clearly stated in the k…[Read more]

Shall I assume that this is limited to WizKids pieces?

I wasn’t thinking about customs when I posted it, but go ahead.  Makes it pretty easy to have a lot of nasty flavor text; some of mine is arguably offensive, but that’s what you get with a faction like The Cursed….

One initial thought – I think it would be really helpful to have an additional column next to your revised costs showing the original WK point values, to make it a lot easier to see the adjustments in context and make useful comparisons.

Thanks for the feedback.  Just implemented that change in most cases. (sometimes the spreadsheets don’t ov…[Read more]

Another post about VR by Peter Diamandis

@MagExpress: Wow, I don’t think I had seen the flavor text for the Dance before.  O_O

Crossing the T is an example of a naval strategy that naturally comes up in a pirates game. Basically maximize your firepower on an enemy ship and minimize the enemies ability to fire back.

Great point, I forgot about that one.  Can be especially effective against ships with lesser overall striking range (S speed with S cannons for example), or…[Read more]

The Fiendfire is actually the ship I alluded to in a reply to your post about the Combustion on 4-23-19

Do you have any in-depth opinions on her?

I think she looks fine!  Was it inspired by the Fiendfyre from Harry Potter?

I like the various limits the ship has.  (especially the once per turn and d6 roll so it’s not automatic)  🙂  It would be…[Read more]

12 is pretty cheap for that ability. Would 16-18 be better?

Yeah, I just realized it’s like a moveable Cursed Zone.  As usual I like to keep things more expensive to start so games are less likely to be ruined by OP stuff, so 18 sounds good.

Quite the opposite of my own Calamity, which is a 10 masted junk.  XD

I can make L-Range happen. About the same points for that as currently?

In addition to that, I think it should be more expensive.  That ability makes cannons far less likely to hit, and it makes SAT and EA impossible to use.  (among other things)

214 years to the day!

And still some news on it: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/18/lord-nelsons-hand-drawn-battle-plans-battle-trafalgar-discovered/

At this point I think I’d have to see the Ryuk in play to form a better opinion of the ship.

Marra is impressive, though I think the ability should say “within L of this ship” so there’s no confusion.  I would probably want her towing a flotilla as part of a battle squadron.

Great flavor text for the Blue Blood, and seems like the right cost too.

Hi Captain Randy, glad to have you aboard!  Sorry that you weren’t able to post; I’ll be looking at the Pending replies more often from now on. (no idea why yours went there though)

Loved reading your story and how much you love the game!  Unique to hear about your relationship with Brachyura.  Certainly not a crab you want to mess with!  🙂 …[Read more]

For some reason, random posts seem to be going to the moderation queue rather than showing up in the forum.  I don’t know why and I apologize for that issue.  I hope to have time to look into it.

I used to play some large fleet action games with friends where we would use duplicate ships as others in a “class” based on the namesake.

That makes sense!  I would have had a large “Mayfair” and “Birkenhead” class.  XD

For me the overall quality of ship type is dependent on how big a game is being played. If it’s a smaller game, most nations…
