KeymasterThe shipyard they were moored at was destroyed in a mighty fire a fortnight or so ago. Lost 99% of my vessels, crew and booty. Now I search for replacements…. alas a very expensive quest.
Yikes, sorry to hear about that. I’ve got some extras I received for free a few years ago I could part with to help you rebuild, I’ll message you about it.

KeymasterAllow me an introduction. I’m the Corsair Lord Svar
Welcome matey, glad to have you aboard!

KeymasterFog Bank:
When any part of a ship or sea creature touches a fog bank, the entire game piece must be placed within the fog bank as a free action; the game piece’s turn ends, even if it could move farther that turn.
I assume they meant “the game piece’s ACTION” ends? Or are fog banks supposed to prevent a ship with an extra action from moving out of the fog bank on the same turn it moved into one?

KeymasterQ2 update to the Scan Project is complete. Thank you to Platinum Pen and FoxTrot for uploading scans. The Master Scan List spreadsheet has been updated.

KeymasterPirates: Rise of AtlantisI am very excited to announce that a new release is on the horizon! A collaboration with Vindaga Games, the Rise of Atlantis (RoA) Mega Pack is a product with game pieces from his custom set. It will feature no less than four new ship types, with a total of four ships and four crew across ten cards. The release is non-collectible, meaning each customer will receive the same eight game pieces.
We are ahead of schedule, and I expect the first Rise of Atlantis Mega Packs to be available either this month or next month!

Thank you to MFaix for making the graphic!
Huge shoutout to Vindaga Games for being a delight to work with. We’ve curated a selection of ships and crew that should work well at both 40 and 60 point build totals. I’m quite excited about the various gameplay elements, the art, the new ship types, along with the set theme and color scheme.

Ben
KeymasterJust for sake of clarification, I assume both coins have to be completely random for Ship Treasure Trading? (unless a ship only has 1 coin of course) Or is it still loser chooses?
Once per turn, if this ship carries treasure and is within S of an enemy ship, you may randomly trade one treasure with that ship.
Ben
KeymasterIn other words, as long as the ship stops on the fog bank, it gets “lost” and then can hop.
Understood, so the “movement” of hopping (one fog bank to another) is not considered to be during the move action. (but rather before it starts I suppose) I figured it was, because it says “she may use her move action to move out”.
In other words, “during a move action” would in this case only apply to move segments, rather than the physical act of picking the ship up from one fog bank and placing it at another?
Ben
KeymasterCan a Fog Hopper that also has the “Ignores Terrain” ability still fog hop as normal?
If this ship (sea monster) ends her turn in a fog bank, on her next turn she may use her move action to move out of any other fog bank in play.
This ship ignores terrain when she is given a move action (islands are not terrain).
Ex: In the Ability Conflict Hierarchy, it seems like “ignores” is above “may”.

KeymasterIf a submerged submarine is wrecked on a reef, is it explorable by players almost like it’s back on the surface?
Ben
KeymasterWelcome aboard Jack!
I’ve always love the pirate and seafaring fantasy. This game gives me a wonderful outlet for that, and is great quality time away from technology with my loved ones.
That’s amazing!
Ben
KeymasterI assume you cannot ram from this ability?
“Once per turn, this ship can move S after loading cargo.”
-Unless a movement ability specifically states that it is a move action (or “move as a free action”), other abilities and effects (shooting with a Captain, ramming, etc.) that refer to move actions cannot be used.
Ben
KeymasterFinally got around to updating the Artwork Assets subfolder!
There is a Submissions folder if you have your own artwork assets you’d like to share, which I would likely distribute to other subfolders at some point.
Ben
KeymasterAhoy @platinumpen, welcome aboard!
Ben
KeymasterCan a stationary ship that is ghostly be boarded?
I always assumed no, but this wording from the Code and a rules question at Discord made me pause.
-The effect of ghostly only applies when the ship is moving. If it stops on terrain, the effects apply normally.
Is that one “effect” (emphasis on the non-plural form) referring to terrain only?
MKL:
A ghostly ship cannot ram or be rammed, pin or be pinned, board or be boarded, and cannot dock, but it may shoot and be shot at normally.
