Jack, have you met your son Roger?

Roger Hawkins

Pirate

Points: 5

Ability: Loyal: Pirate. Hostile: Cursed, England. Captain. Helmsman.

Flavor: The son of infamous pirate Jack Hawkins, Roger has a burning hatred for all things Cursed, as it was they who finally ended his father’s career. Permanently.

lol, if the cursed get their way and some of their stuff falls into line it’ll be “Mommy I don’t feel good….”

I’d say that’s maybe a 2-3 point ship.

Interesting that it’s Pirate but has the Mercenary keyword.

i still think that even when u get an free sac extra action for the rest of the game its not op

Perhaps you’ve not played a game with anyone who “power games” for Pirates…… 😀

For now I’ll agree to disagree.

english is not my first  speech so i m sorry for some missunderstanding

Not that I didn’t understand you, I more or less got what you were trying to say. My point is that if you’re going to use an ability that Wk put on a ship or crew it would be ideal to match the language that they used.

i added the cargo an i think for 40 point game its…

I’m inclined to agree with Woelf about the Longship guy, although I have a question about him. Would they give the entirety of the Longship keyword to a ship, IN ADDITION to any abilities that ship already had? For example, if you were able to place this crew onto a 6 mast junk, would the Junk still be able to draw lines of fire through its own…[Read more]

Even for a shark, that might be too powerful. I’m mainly concerned about the the rank 1 cannons. Interesting that it has cargo space for a golden goodie if it wins a boarding party, assuming that it hasn’t destroyed all the good ones yet. 😀

Something that’s been on the back burner in my mind is a vid detailing the “story” of pirates, from Spanish main through to Return to Savage Shores, and adding in the flavor and fluff from my own custom sets at the end as the continuation.

I’m uncertain how to frame and format a vid like that, which is why it’s still on the back burner. 😀

Action continues in CG4 as the Pirates attack!

It should be noted that Duque Marcus Vaccaro is misprinted with a point cost of 5, he should be 0 points.

You want a true terror for Spain you go:

El Acorazado (SM)+ Luis Zuan (MI), Captain Alarico Castro (SM), Joaquin Vega (SM), Nemesio Diaz (SM), Helmsman, Duque Marcus Vaccaro (BC).

Vega’s ability to ignore the first hit stacks up with the Acorazado’s built in defense, meaning you’d have to hit her three times to eliminate her first mast,…[Read more]

Report 6 is now here! Camera troubles are over!

In addition to pirates I play a host of things. Bunch of “classic” board games like Monopoly, Clue, Risk and Life.

A host of different and varying card games, from stuff you play with a regular deck of cards like Gin Rummy, BS, 21, and others; to dedicated card games such as Uno, Unstable Unicorns, Exploding Kittens, and Coup. I’ve also played…[Read more]

I actually asked about this in the rules thread a while ago, since I found this in the code:

If treasure is transferred to a ship that is already docked at its home island, it does not automatically unload.  That ship must move away from the island and re-dock or it must be given an explore action targeting the home island, at which point all…[Read more]

A neat idea in theory, but I’m afraid a couple things are going to prevent that from working.

Firstly, you can’t stack abilities, so you’d only get one helmsman +S movement bonus. It can come from either Hermione or from the regular helmsman, but the ship won’t get both. Same thing applies to Trevor van Tyne.

Let’s say that a ship has an Ex-Patriot crew on her, giving her the Mercenary keyword and all that implies. This same ship also has Eternal, as an ability provided by the ship, not coming from a crew. The ship is sunk. If I have Raft, can I flip it and throw the crew onto the nearby island, thus eliminating the Mercenary keyword from the ship and…[Read more]

Glad you’ve enjoyed watching/reading along, I’ve enjoyed playing the game.

Meanwhile, an overlord waits impatiently….

Hmm….. Now who could that be….?

Yes, they would come from outside the game. I should add some additional text that specifies this, and a line or two about the treasure being regular gold, not Unique Treasures (there were other abilities for that :D).

Crew that are assigned to that ship with that ability would still take up cargo space as normal, and would still take up point…[Read more]
