The Colina feels expensive for what you get. You have 5 masters from English and America with more cargo hold using the same ability + an Oarsman that still come in cheaper with equivalent or better firepower. 13-14 would be more competitive pricing.

Hmmm, good point on the cost, even at 13 or 14 she might still be too expensive, given the 2 cargo…[Read more]

I did indeed try to make a combined canceller and SAC action so I mostly lifted the text from the existing cards and mashed them together. I believe normal cancellers should work that way unless I misread those.

They do indeed work that way. Since this version requires a crew to be eliminated it’s maybe not as good as the actual ones, but it does…[Read more]

So obviously the above is very much flavored/directly lifted from The Goonies background and fluff.

…..Why did I not think of this already? I love that movie!

Interesting ship, always fun to see a Treasure Ship, and with a very interesting ability especially for people who play by the rules. I kind of house-rule that treasure goes down with…[Read more]

Is Abraham’s +2 bonus for cannon and boarding rolls? It might be better to have a semicolon so it doesn’t seem like a separate ability. I could see someone construing it as +2 to d6 rolls against sea creatures. I’m not sure if I love Wizkids’ way of doing it, but it is pretty clear. Ex (Kodiak): This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls. She gets +2…
