I noticed you posted this one around 2:30am PST!

Heh, yeah. I’m probably not going to do that again.

No crew is a big mistake I think

I agree, but I think the Spanish (o their controller) is going for a power move or something, since all of the ships he launched had 4-5 cargo already. With no crew and two cargo masters….

Small piece of news first. I have modified a small aspect of the ruleset, essentially tweaked how the Crops function and added a note about Marines.

report 3 is up

Your lack of “r” is getting amusing lol.

Ah crud, I totally didn’t see that until just now. 😀

Anyway, cool. I don’t think I’d do that until I had built up a following on YT.

I really like the sunken ship/shipwreck idea. I’ve thought about doing stuff like that before, but with an actual smaller table underneath my main table, making a sot of ‘underwater map’ that is entirely submerged and is where Sea Monsters and other submersible things go when they submerge from the main table. I think this would wok best with a…[Read more]

The shits are cool, but who gets the money? TeeSpring, a third party, you?

Thanks, the way things are going I’ll probably have reports up on the weekends only, since I’ll be playing most weekdays.

Report two is now up!

Century of Economy, report 2

I’ve done something similar with Voya Nui, since the island is so large, when you explore you roll a d6/d8, which determines the stack of treasure that you are able to look at and explore.

I think this woks best with the large custom, three dimensional islands that people make. For the regular game pack islands, I think exploring works fine…[Read more]

Hey cool, Pirate merch! Hopefully you don’t get shutdown by any legal hullaballoo.

The fist report is now up!

So it Begins….. CoEC report 1

The site is behaving strangely for me again, so I’m posting the first one here.

So it Begins….. CoEC report 1

Yeah, sorry the forum doesn’t always work optimally.  In the past I’ve had success just pasting into the Visual tab, which usually keeps the formatting from the original document.  If pasting to the Text tab, some of it may not be recognized correctly.

I did post into the visual tab. I think it just didn’t agree with the formatting I’d done on my…[Read more]

Thanks, I’m looking forward to it as well. This Summer our time is constrained more than ever, so the victory condition number 2 is most likely to occur. However, (small spoiler) we have the least amount of islands this year than ever before, so that should force more combat and competition for islands.

Tying in to what I said above, every island…[Read more]

I quite like this Necromancer fellow, I’d definitely use him in a campaign, and maybe a 60 point game, perhaps a  little more, the Cursed are expensive. 😀

Nice, I’d not seen/forgotten some of these.

I”m scathing my head at Gimli and Lief’s point costs. I don’t quite get why they’e that expensive. Also, I think you should spell out that Lief gets +1 to HIS gun roll against the Cursed. I almost interpreted it as a +1 to cannons against the Cursed.

Proposed text change to: This crew gets +1 to its…[Read more]

The Corsairs are an interesting faction to play. Their selection of named crew is lacking, especially compared to the other one-off factions (Vikings and Jades being the other two). However, you will be had pressed to find a Corsair ship that has a single base move segment. A good majority of their ships have S+S or S+L as base moves, and plenty…[Read more]

I’ve never actively used the ‘standard’ treasure rule, along with the ‘first to half total gold wins’.

That said, when I do set up games with my brothers, we agree on a set number of coins per island, but the coins are selected at random from out of a pencil box whee we keep the coins punched out. (quick note, this pencil box contains almost…[Read more]

Most of my points wee made on the FB group, but one more thing I liked was the inclusion of some of the Young Jack Sparrow  book series stuff. Pieces like the Grand Barnacle, and Fluer de la Mort came directly from those books.

On that note, they could’ve used some of the things from those books as UT’s and crew. I would’ve loved to see Left…[Read more]
