I really appreciate how much work can be done with just a captain/helmsman combo. Especially if you are engaging in any hit-and-run play or cutting off a gold runner’s escape.

Great podcast with Mike Selinker! I felt he shed a fair amount of light onto the inner workings and the development of Pirates.

QotD: Yes, I would have loved to seen the Dutch implemented into the game.  I imagine their faction would be heavy gold runners with warships that could go toe-to-toe with the English any day of the week. Perhaps…[Read more]

I generally utilize a dry-erase marker to cross out the affected mast(s) on the ships base plate.

Has anyone in the Pirating community played a PC game titled East India Company? It’s a decent game in the age of sail.

In a somewhat related topic, I recently watched this neat program on the BBC about the Spanish Armada. I think you might enjoy it!

If you are willing to go  a bit unconventional, the themes to Star Trek First Contact or Voyager are simply stunning. You cannot go wrong with some Jerry Goldsmith!

I enjoyed the casual discussion on all things Pirates.  Thanks for posting it!  As a topic you may want to discuss, what are your thoughts on the current market of Pirates items? Is it still overall a sellers market? Or have prices started to shift back towards the buyer again?

Hard to believe we are at podcast 40… That’s a lot of Pirates content!

Some tracks I enjoy would include the Dropkick Murphys, some Muse, and some E.S. Posthumus.

The soundtrack from Master And Commander may provide you with some inspiration….

I personally like the idea! I think guidelines or a clear list of the ability costs would help curb OP builds. I would like to see a “generic” sailing/warship art for the cards and then the player would fill in the name, cannons, cargo, speed, & ability(s). Add up all the factors and there is your point value.

Thank you for getting me an answer so quickly!

I have a question, Does Ruth Lee reduce reduce the cost of Native Canoes?

Yay! the first Pirates podcast of 2019! I really appreciate the work that has gone into producing the content.

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…[Read more]

Thanks for posting! I’m planning on listening at some point over the weekend.
