Ok, I can reduce the Neverland’s base move to L. Same points though?

Since I’m here, I might as well send more Pirates from Eldest Seas!

5. Nicholas Nautilus
Points: 5
Ability: Loyal: Pirate. Helmsman. SAT.

Flavor: The loyal helmsman of the Storm Stalker, Nautilus always knows how to get a ship to port as fast as possible. However, it’s still…[Read more]

From Wizkids, a few come to mind…

El Phantasma
“Does a man seek the shadows or is he forced there by the machinations of others? Some whisper of a horrific betrayal, some of years spent isolated in a French prison, and others of unspeakable torture at the hands of the Moors. Whatever the truth, El Phantasma and his sepulchral crew do not intend…[Read more]

Hello again, all. Time to show-and-tell some more Pirates from Eldest Seas! 😀

Relevant Keywords

–Armed Merchant: Once per turn, as a free action, one of this ship’s canons may shoot at one enemy target in range. This shot cannot have its range or rank increased. (A captain crew is not needed for this action)

–Privateer: This piece may use i…[Read more]

Shall I assume that this is limited to WizKids pieces?
-Darkhurst

Alrighty, might as well send y’all some new stuff!
Let’s get started with the pirates from Pirates of the Eldest Seas!

1. William Slank
Points: 7
Ability: Captain. Sac.
Link: Little Richard

Flavor: William Slank is a man who wants power. He aspires to be a Pirate Lord, and is willing to do anything, and kill anyone to get what he wants.

2.…[Read more]

Namewise, yes she’s inspired by the fiendfyre from Harry Potter. I think this is an example of me coming up with the name first, and then the ability.

I too, look forward to physical and Vassal play-testing of this ship 😀😁
Thank you much for the feedback! 😀

-Darkhurst

Lol yup XD

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?

-Darkhurst

@Ben: I see what you mean with the Calamity. Her points can be brought up without issue from me. I will note that her ability doesn’t exclude friendly ships, but regardless, 12 is pretty cheap for that ability. Would 16-18 be better?

-Darkhurst

@Xerecs: A’ight, I can make L-Range happen. About the same points for that as currently?
I think at one point, I’d adjusted the point cost of the Sacrifice, but that was on my phone when it was being wonky, so 😛
What would you suggest? We talking 14-16 point range?

-Darkhurst

Hey again, y’all; a late-night post this time
But tonight, I bring you the last standard release Cursed pieces from Eldest Seas!!
So let’s get right into it

Relevant Keyword

–Ship Burner: Once per game if this ship is within S of enemy ships, roll a d6. On 4-6 she explodes, and is immediately removed from the game. For every enemy ship within S,…[Read more]

@Ben: Ok, I see that typo in the ability text now.
Thanks! 🙂

Alright, I’m back today with the next two Cursed pieces from Eldest Seas.

Relevant keyword

–HI-Raider: This ship may dock at an enemy Home Island and load one treasure. If able, she must leave on her next turn.

16. Marra
Points: 11
Masts: 1
Cannons: 3S
Cargo: 1
Base Move: L+L
Ability: Once at the beginning of each of your turns for every enemy…[Read more]

@Ben: I like that wording, and I can adjust it to be more like that.
This’ll sound like a rant, but I’m just trying to explain this ship’s ability completely so there’s no more confusion.

The thing with the Ryuk’s ability, is that the ability text of the crew you’re going to eliminate has to match exactly with the crew that’s going to be…[Read more]

Alright, I said I’d have them so here they are: the next two Cursed pieces from Eldest Seas!

Relevant Keywords

–Crew Possession: If an enemy ship is within S of this ship, you can use this ship’s action for the turn to try to possess a target crew on that ship. Roll a d6; on a result of 6, the target is immediately assigned to this ship. Its n…[Read more]

@Woelf: I imagined that in order for the Ryuk to eliminate a crew they must have the exact same ability text. So you can’t just kill a Captain+Helmsman crew using only one of those generic abilities, since that’s only half of the Cap+Helm ability text. You would actually have to sacrifice a Cap+Helm combo to kill a Cap+Helm combo with this ship.…[Read more]

Alright, I hear you all about Lilith.
How’s this for an edited version of her:

12. Lilith
Points: 13/14
Ability: Loyal: The Cursed. (Eternal.) Once per turn, you may choose one friendly ship in play. That ship cannot be affected by the Fear keyword for this turn. Once per turn, give one friendly ship +1 to her cannon rolls for this turn.

I just…[Read more]

@Xerecs: My concern with contradictions is the “exact wording” part.
SOMEONE will be like: “This one says Captain; and that one doesn’t” (no one here; but someone, somewhere would)

I feel like the faction specification in Lilith’s ability might hinder the power a little more than what you may be implying, since only Cursed ships will be getting…[Read more]

Alright, I’m back to edit some things and release the next two Cursed pieces!

So right off the bat, I think I can change some of the broken pieces from the big post
Here are my edit ideas:

Abbadon
Points: 30
Masts: 5
Cannons: 3L,3S,3S,3S,3L
Cargo: 3
Base Move: S+S
Ability: Eternal. Fear. When this ship eliminates the last mast on an enemy ship,…[Read more]

Yeah, no, I know that pretty much everything from that first post is kinda game-breaking 😅😂

I’m really rather torn on what to do. On the one hand, I really want to keep them with abilities as close to what they say now as possible, but on the other, I want them to be usable and used in games and by other people as well.
So I’ll likely make…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Alright, that makes sense. I can adjust his point cost to be a li’l more accurate.

Now, back to Eldest Seas, I’ve got two more Cursed pieces for y’all!

Relevant Keywords:

–Privateer: This piece may use its abilities on any ship, but it gains the Loyal: X keyword for its flag faction.

–EA: Once per turn, roll a d6. On a 5-6, give this…[Read more]
