I would be up for joining it just depends on the on the topic at hand and date/time of recording.

I hope that the insert wasn’t the first thing they saw otherwise they must have been terribly disappointed.

<p class=”MsoNormal”>The most recent addition to my collection came from buying a random pirates cgs lot. I got more than I had anticipated. The most noteworthy of the additions (but there were a lot of other additions I needed as well, >100 ships) are the following:

Specter ROFT 300
2/3 of Celtic Fury (just traded to get the other 1/3 to finally…[Read more]

I like the idea of wind and resources as well. I’ve often enjoyed adding more depth to the game that you see in rule sets like Economy edition.

Wind in my opinion is one of the few mechanics that could have easily been implemented to the game and would not have required large rule reworking. I imagine they could have made a small emblem with n…[Read more]

I only have one person I consistently play pirates with just to be clear. (Although I consider myself fortunate since some people don’t have a consistent play group.

We usually play game types of 80+ point totals with a large amount of gold ~20-40 gold pieces with no specific total. (We definitely play a little loose with the Wizkids rules and s…[Read more]

I’ve never used Kickstarter but I don’t know what would be illegal about attempting to buy it from them. I guess the big issue I see would be that it would make you the owner of the license not some other corporation. (not that you personally are the issue just that once the ball is in your court where do we go from there? Would kickstarter also…[Read more]

I would be in support of such a change as it would make the rules more consistent. I can’t see how this would drastically impact the game except make towing flotillas less desirable.

Looks like a good list! Looking forward to the podcast!

Any idea how long the interview will last?

This project would be a massive undertaking so I don’t take your hesitation as a debbie downer or anything. You make some good points and many of them I agree with. I don’t think the factions should all be balanced or similar. Their uniqueness is something I greatly enjoy and at times wish was even more pronounced. Nor do the cursed require a face…[Read more]

So I remember back on MT there was a discussion (mentioned by Ben I believe) about formulating an “updated” pirates code based upon the the experience and opinions of the present fan base.

There are some examples of modified rule sets form other players http://www.miniaturetrading.com/im/forum/viewtopic/t=5893/highlight=Ruleset//

I mean both in a way. How did Wizkids actually print the ships and stamp them.

How did Wizkids decide on points and ship stats and in general come up with the ships.

We talk a lot about how these ships don’t seem to be play tested (Woelf seems to have confirmed that for some circumstances) but if that is the case then how did they determine w…[Read more]

Oh man I can think of so many.

1. General overview of how sets were designed and finalized.

2. What were some of his ideas that never made it into the game?

3. What sets did he work on?

4. What are things he would have changed in hindsight?

5. How did they make them?

6. Does he recall any sets/plans or potential directions Wizkids had in…[Read more]

@Ben

Just looked a bit through your customs sheet and discovered your three planned lighthouses. I’m excited to see what ideas you have for them. The Pillar of Eternity is a great addition already. Its ability (I won’t spoil your announcement of it since it has yet to be revealed) fits right into preexisting Pirates abilities so it doesn’t seem…[Read more]

I generally agree with what you all said in the podcast. Had Wizkids not been shut down in 08 and Pirates canceled then I would love for it to have continued as a collectible game. I enjoy the randomness of the pack opening and the collectible aspect of the game. But generic crew selection and other aspects of fleet building made it difficult at…[Read more]

MT is a ghost town now when last year at times it was quite busy. So jumping between the two forums does give me a sense of disconnect. Unfortunately for some like Xerecs it may not be possible to return. So I look forward to when everything becomes consolidated to one forum (it’s understandably in transition now). I think the facebook group and…[Read more]

Glad to see the first Podcast of 2019. Thanks to everyone who participates in this content. Listening to your discussions and topics of Pirates is away fun while I work and I greatly appreciate the work you all put in.

Regarding your concern about available content and podcast frequency I would suggest you worry less about the number of episodes/…[Read more]
