Made my first Audiogram using a clip from the latest podcast episode.

[Ben]

Interesting post from 2005 on the US/UK pack difference.

“We actually made different versions for the two countries. Neither game style is better – the English one is only set up to have two players, but because it’s on a map, they have limited space and are basically forced into fighting each other more. The game is slightly more complicated because of the increased number of dice. The American version is great because you can have tons of players, it’s not as complicated, and the game can be played for a long length of time because the space is not limited.

Yeah, Zesk seems like a OP concept.  It’s possible for a 1 master to beat a 5 master in a boarding party, so abilities like that upset the power balance too much and make one die roll potentially far too important.  Plus, the Massacre ability used to be 7 (Diabolito, RotF Blackheart, etc), and even though that’s too high, Zesk’s cost of 8 is like the WK cost of Massacre plus Ex-Patriot, meaning you get the mast elimination effect almost for free.  If you try to keep the abilities the same I don’t know how expensive he should be.

Can the S-Explorer ability (Once per turn, if this ship is within S of an island, you can mark the island as explored without docking at it. The island becomes unexplored in regards to all other players.) be used by one ship on the same turn that it docks at the island?

For example, a ship moves to within S of a wild island, marks it explored before finishing the move action (since it doesn’t specify when it has to occur), and then docks with the final segment to look at the gold/etc.

[Ben]

Well, since you asked, I would like to hear a discussion on various historical ships represented in the game. Perhaps comparing/contrasting their role and setup in the game as opposed to reality. Why some persons or ships never made it into the game. For example, why no HMS Victory or Lord Nelson? Why is the Philadelphia a 2-masted blockade runner in game when it actually was a 36-gun frigate in real life? Just some thoughts to consider!

I agree.  We did a very brief segment on the F&S historical pack, but it would be interesting to examine things more in-depth.  It’s definitely something we’d have to spend a bunch of time on researching, or look in Miniature Trading to see if there’s information there.  Wizkids definitely dropped the ball on representing ships (and even crew, like Dragut) accurately.  Some other people have brought up that putting too many historical things into the game would potentially bring up legal problems from the descendants of historical figures, or something like that.

Here’s a great classic thread you can check out:

The Direction of the game, from the Designer.

It’s also one of the primary reasons I’m making a massive historical custom set.

-Admiral A7XfanBen

[Ben]

I don’t understand those point costs.   Tuma’s regular abilities do come to 7, but that somewhat severe negative ability could certainly be a good reason for a -1.  I think 6 points would be good.  Flavor text is funny in a weirdly brutal way.  XD

Skrall is OP and possibly even broken.  Not only can they use the ability on almost any ship in the game, it’s basically the same cost as a regular world hater when you factor in Ex-Patriot, yet it’s FAR better.  Just use that crew with a captain and helmsman for 10 points total on any gunship and you’d have +3 to your cannon rolls, which for any reasonable ship would be enough to make 2’s hit regardless of starting ranks.  You could easily make the Neptuno have 1L+L guns, or max out a 10 master with the crew you would add anyway, for all rank 2 cannons.  That ability probably shouldn’t exist, or should be 12+ points.  What about regular World Hater and +1 to boards for every crew?  That would make them more balanced fighters, less reliant on just gunnery, and way less OP. (9+ points would still be necessary) (I think copying this ability to a 10 master would probably be worth more to the ship than 11 points)

[Ben]

@Woelf: Thanks!  As of now I don’t think there’s a way to quote someone’s post with a button – it’s something I plan to look into.  I had a preview feature installed but it got messy and glitchy, so I deleted that and added code to enable the current Visual editor, which works decently as a preview since you can see what your post will look like as you’re typing it.

@Xerecs: I like the Roxtus fort.  Makeza seems an interesting set of ideas for the assassin concept.  Roodaka seems powerful but a bit strange.  I wouldn’t want to keep track of that ability occurring multiple times… how does it work?  I imagined it like some kind of liquid that gets poured into where the mast is and hardening to prevent any future mast replacement.

I don’t really like the idea of automatic hits.  He would inevitably get put on a 10 master and have quite a field day.  I think +2 to cannon rolls or some other ability would be more suitable.  And again, the flavor doesn’t seem to warrant such amazing power.  Does the character get spontaneously lucky in combat occasionally?

Finally missed another day, so here’s double for both fantasy and custom.

Got another one.  Fruit says “Fruit takes up 2 cargo spaces and cannot be unloaded.”

The Pirate Code says:

-UTs may be transferred between ships like standard treasure (via an explore action), and may be transferred by abilities and effects that steal, take, or trade treasure, unless an ability specifically prevents them from being unloaded or removed from a ship.

 

-A “transfer” occurs any time cargo is moved from one location to another, whether it is through the use of an explore action, a boarding action, an ability, or any other means.

–“Load” and “unload” refer to transfers in a specific direction, either on or off a ship, respectively.

To me it seems slightly contradictory, or at least confusing.  Can Fruit be transferred between ships, or is that still considered “unloading”?

When using the Pandora’s Box UT, couldn’t players use that opportunity to place more boxes on the same ship, essentially creating an “infinite loop” of boxes and endless “free” UT’s until a player voluntarily stopped the loop?  O_O   XD

Based on some other subs, Iron Fist might be better off at about 17, though I’m not really too concerned with it.  It’s just a combination of speed and firepower we haven’t seen at the same time on a sub, and ships like the Nautilus and Mercury have proven to not be overpriced (if anything, underpriced in huge games).

Cannons for the Skrall’s Hand?  Reminds me of the Forward.

Cryoshell seems reasonably “tame” compared to some of the other “wave” game pieces you’ve released, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it needed to be more like 20 points.

I think Monk’s Revenge (not sure if the name should look like that) could be 8 points.  Without the Mercenary keyword she’d be a decent gold runner, but with it, she’s not going to excel at anything.  It’s a fun but oddball package, and would be much more intriguing at a single digit cost.

Alright, looks like it’s time for the annual Black Friday week sale at Hill’s Wholesale Gaming! (HWG)
http://www.wholesalegaming.biz/pirates/

As of this post, 4 items marked down a decent amount; RV is probably the best deal of those that are on sale. (they used to sell OE for $38/36 packs, so that one isn’t as good in hindsight, but still nice)

No idea if any of these will change throughout the week(end), but I think last year it remained pretty consistent. This is almost always the best time to buy from them all year.

[Ben]

Awesome Woelf, thanks for making this!

The Master Spreadsheet contains all of the game pieces released, in addition to RtSS and Unreleased stuff – a good reference for anyone wondering what is being discussed.

I’ll start things off!  Xerecs and I had some questions during the SS 10th anniversary game, and another random question came up during the Podcast last night.

Great Turtles say “This island can’t be moved within 2 S of any ships or other islands.”  Does this apply when moving the turtle multiple times in the same turn?  If I move it within 2S of something but then move it back away during my turn, is that illegal?  Basically, does each S movement need to adhere to the 2S limitation, or does it only apply at the end of your turn when you stop moving it?

If a game piece has a +1 boarding bonus along with a +2 that applies under certain circumstances, can you stack the conditional +2 with a different +1?  For example, Captain Charles Richard from OE: “This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls. She gets +2 instead if her opponent is a sea monster.”  If you had a different crew that got +1 to boarding rolls on the ship, it wouldn’t stack right?  (same thing applied to a custom ship during the podcast)

[Ben]

Through a somewhat complicated and actually legal means, I have recovered some of the data from my phone’s Notepad!

Awesome!  And I love forts, so wow am I in for some fun times here!  O_O  And I thought some of my forts were expensive!   XD

Piraka Stronghold is fascinating, though I’d want to find some way to increase the cannon ranges so opponents can’t avoid it so easily.   I understand you just recovered the information, but I think it’s easier to digest game pieces if the faction affiliation is the second part of each listed (just after name).

Kranzhi actually strikes me as a bit too expensive.  I think you could playtest that one at about 10 points and see how it goes.

The Coliseum is a neat idea, and would be great to have on the outskirts of a big battle in a campaign game.

Mahri-Nui feels a bit overpriced – although submerged ships can dock there, they still wouldn’t be able to repair unless you allowed that too.  And subs are kinda small, so entering the Sargasso Sea just to get to the fort seems like risky business.

Destral: WOW, is that wacky!  XD   I’m not a fan of the teleportation aspects of this game of course, but the Cursed are the faction to do it with.  It seemed OP at first, but relocating basically means your whole turn gets skipped, which is pretty much a no-go even in small games, let alone when you control dozens of ships.  I’m not really sold on it being a great fort, between the high cost (probably too high considering the massive downside of relocation) and the fact that it would be difficult to place in a spot where an opponent wouldn’t be able to handle it.  All S-range guns mean that most opponents could park ships just out of range and blast away, and having your turn end immediately after relocation means that the fort can’t shoot right away to surprise an opponent (not that I think it should be able to haha).  I think making some or all of the guns L-range and making the downside of relocating a little less harsh could make this more playable.  I do appreciate that you went very high on the costs though – better to overprice than underprice with customs, especially with new abilities.

Umbra is a nice first-strike gunship, but a little pricey for me.  I think 17 points would be a fair starting point.

Vesok needs to be ridiculously expensive.  The copying ability is pegged at about 11 points per DJC Davy Jones, which I think is about right.  Piraka is worth a LOT of points – if a regular world hater is 4 points, Piraka should be at least double.  Just using the +1 for EA/SAT/AA rolls would be a big benefit, let alone applying it to boarding, ramming, cannons obviously, and other stuff… the combination of abilities are arguably worth at least 19 points and quite possibly more.

S-immunity shouldn’t exist, especially on a crew, so Zaktan is broken.  Wouldn’t play with/against that one.

Reidak is interesting though.  It reminds me of the Holy Water/Davy Jones’ Heart UT’s, but with a restriction.  I think there would be a massive Pirate Code entry for that, and have a feeling he’s a little overpriced.  (no idea though – playtesting required)

I actually don’t have issue with Limit on linked pieces – it’s fun to have flavor text make for some “impossible” to use combos (but only rarely to avoid mass confusion lol).

I’m slightly confused – you’re asking if someone here has an OD they’d be willing to sell for $150?

That seems like a solid starting point for discussion.  I don’t have one, but if I did, I’d either keep it regardless of price, or only sell if I got an offer of $300+.  XD  (I changed the topic name from “Odago” to Obago so people wouldn’t be confused about the ship’s name)

I do think it’s fitting that someone who joined Miniature Trading back in 2006 is the first person (other than me of course) to start a thread here at Pirates with Ben.  Glad to have you on board!

The Inferno looks very interesting, very high-risk, but high reward as well. her ability to give herself fire masts, would her controller have to roll for those fire-masts?

Yes, the fire masts function normally.

For the Pit Tracker’s flavor text, I think recoil works better than “kick”, unless I’m missing something.
