That’s a great looking ship & crew Ben! I’m looking forward to taking delivery of my copy in the near future!
Chris replied to the topic Pulls/Purchases Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 5 months ago

Very Nice! I haven’t seen one of those yet!

My nephew and I broke open 36 packs of Revolution on Saturday and found a nice selection including Black Swan, HMS Swallow, Bonhomme Richard, Constitution, Enterprise, 8 Unique Treasures, etc.

So which custom ships do you like better? The wooden variety from Cloud of Craft? Or the 3D printed versions offered by Vulkan?

Also, my wife & mother-in-law were kind enough to make me a custom, quilted playmat for Pirates! It looks FANTASTIC!

<div class=”bbp-reply-content”>

I just saw those the other day for the first time and they look pretty good! My only concern would be exact/precise measurements from the ends of them.

You do not measure off the ends. There are divots on the sides, bisecting the magnets, that mark the movement/range distance.

Awesome Vlog post Ben! I really am enjoying this fresh renaissance in the Pirates game!

Question for you: did you ever put together a spreadsheet for suggested point costs for custom ships? E.G. sail/cannon ranks, hold, speed, special abilities, etc

I’m wanting to order some custom ships but could use a guide to help with point cost(s).

I just purchased both of the Gale Force Nine island sets from Noble Knight Games as a bundled deal for a great price. Check it out!

PS: How did your complete inventory go?

Thanks for asking, it went well! Introduced my nephew to the basics of the game and looking to start building him a fleet.
Chris replied to the topic Wooden Ships made by Cloud of Craft Gaming on Etsy in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 6 months ago

I realize this is an old thread, but how did the process work for a custom ship? Did you submit artwork for the piece? Or is it just the ship’s name, stats, & special ability(s)?
Chris replied to the topic The Random (PCSG) Topic Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 6 months ago

Thanks for the info! I’ll look into those options.
Chris replied to the topic Is there anything "fancy" you do in games or with your collection? in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 6 months ago

I realize this is an old thread, but I wanted to add that I’m looking at getting a couple sets of the GF9 islands. Also I found these great magnetic maneuver/range markers available on Etsy.
Chris replied to the topic The Random (PCSG) Topic Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 7 months ago

I have a nephew I’m looking to introduce Pirates to. He has an interest in dragons and other fantasy elements. Which faction(s) offer the most in that realm?
Chris replied to the topic The 3D Printing Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 11 months ago

The fort is quite impressive! 3D printing has really opened up the possibilities for new and/or custom Pirates material.

It seems to me Pirate “intel” will give them the edge over the Cursed monster fleet. The Pirates can sit back and pick off the weakest ships of the Cursed fleet while they are otherwise engaged in taking out the other players. But, that is just my opinion… I’ll wait and see how this all plays out.

My wife is sewing/quilting a playmat for me complete with non-skid backing. I plan on teaching her the game once that is finished.
Chris replied to the topic My Contribution to the extinction of endangered Wild Pirates CSG packs in the forum Pirates CSG 4 years, 7 months ago

I just opened a Revolution Special Edition Box! In addition to the Franklin, I pulled some nice ships like the Panda, HMS Swallow & the Unique Treasure Sextant.
Chris commented on the post, Pirates CSG Podcast #51: Getempowder War Stories! 4 years, 7 months ago

I really like the idea of playing all sea monsters as a chaos faction that is a hazard to all other fleets on the table. I’ve been pondering this idea for some time and it was great to hear other player(s) running with similar thoughts!

Good Luck in the Navy Ben! Look forward to hearing from you when you can!
