Shine seems like an interesting little runner, decent base move and Turtle Ship will protect he from a couple cannons before she loses masts. Do you house rule that Turtle ships can’t have their masts rammed off while they still have panels?

Whoa, talk about an epic ship indeed! There’s quite a lot I like about this ship, namely her speed. Set up right, she’d make a perfect ‘striker’ gunship, more than capable of getting the first hit in on any ship. I also like Dories, I think it should be on more ships, and not just mercenary ships. The bow and stern chaser cannons are quite…[Read more]

Oooh. I like the Crystal Shroud. It sounds cool, and has an interesting function, I’d probably use it on a heavyweight named crew, or what I’d consider the most important named crew on a gunship. Might be difficult in that respect, since big gunships usually get built to the point limit.

Very interesting. Fog hopping on such a large ship is indeed powerful and should not be cheap. however, given the rest of the ships stats, I feel you could come down to 40 points. If only because Storms don’t get used often, even by me! Therefore, to my way of thinking, it would be difficult to get that +1 to d6 rolls ability to kick in, and the…[Read more]

Not much cargo on the Perseguidor to take advantage of the Hoard ability. She’s nice and fast though, reminds me of the Amity from CC. He cannons are a little wonky, though I do like the ‘bow chaser’ 2L.

Would Luis be able to use his chain shot from that bow cannon, or would he still need to have a target within S? I like his flavor text, sounds…[Read more]

I usually don’t comment on the Historical customs (since I’m usually not well read on them), but Nagle looks awesome! I agree he could be very powerful in a game, and combining him with Commander Temple could get messy in games with a point limit (basically anything not a campaign). I think the way you’ve worded the ability is fine, and 5 gold I…[Read more]

Interesting remake. I assume the Bombardier cannon is 3S, since I don’t see it listed with the other cannons? I think this is a much improved version of the Draconum, almost too good. Her cargo I think holds her back from being exceptional, which I think is good, otherwise no one would use the original. 😀

I also like her linked crew. I assume…[Read more]

I hate to say it, but keep in mind that you got banned for a reason.  You may disagree with the reasoning to some extent, but the admin has their own rules.

Exactly. I may not even bother reactivating or making a new account, since PwB and other places have picked up. I’ll reach out, but I’ll probably just lurk on MT from now on.

I would just go through with the contact us option and try to get the old account back.

I’ll probably do that, but like I said, I’m hesitant. I’m not sure how they (we?) would be able to clean things up. It’d be great to have the old account back, but starting over might be less of a hassle.

Interesting combo there. I’ve wondered what HG would look like on a ten, and here it is! 😀  The bounty only has 7 total cargo (5+2 from HG) and a base move of L, so she’d be a slow hybrid type of thing. Then again, at 30 points, the Mercs have some crazy stuff in their ranks, so it could quickly become some kind of dreadnought.

Given his last…[Read more]

I’ve been watching lots of Sea of Thieves vids lately. I’m sorely wishing I could play that. Alas, my poor laptop would not be able to support it, and getting a PC that does will be EXPENSIVE.

I’ve taken recently to listening to Adrian von Zeigler, I used two of his compositions in the island making video. Other than him I’ve discovered Antti Martikainen.  I quite enjoy the Hymn of the High Seas, along with his other pirate themed music.

Other things I listen to (during games and not) include the Glitch Mob, Irish  music in general, so…[Read more]

I think we probably said that because of the Limit inclusion.  Generally keywords should not be within other keywords.  It’s confusing, easy to forget, and leads to looking up chains of abilities just to see what “one” ability does.

I should have mentioned this when I posted the Tesoro – I am using a custom version of your Hidden Gold ability <…

Nice ship, I quite like the Clouds of Strelbair. Also nice to see Hidden Gold on another ship. I think that I kind of dropped the keyword actually, since it’s only been on one of my Customs, and after reviewing it I think you and GM recommended that it become a written out ability.

Anywho, Hidden Gold is fun, but it has LIMIT built into it. I…[Read more]

@JW, I think if you want to distinguish Andes, then I think you could give him a third ability in addition to captain and EA. But nothing too good, if you catch my meaning. Captain, EA, and doctor or something along the like. Not crew protection, as that’d be too good, but a third ability could distinguish him somewhat.

You could attach a severe negative ability to the Powder kegs. Like, ‘If this ship rolls a 1 on a cannon roll, remove powder kegs from the game, and remove up to three masts from this ship’. That might be too extreme, but it would simulate a powder magazine or several kegs exploding. Conversely, you could make it like this: If an enemy ship hits…[Read more]

Which set do these Spaniards belong to? I know you’re working on like, 3, so which set are these guys from?

That aside, the Aguas looks rather ‘dull’. Nice cargo, but mediocre base move and a boring ability. Given her flavor I’d maybe shoot for a combo of ‘This ship cannot be pinned’ and ‘ If this ship wins a boarding party, she may take as much…[Read more]

Sounds like some berserkers are manning the Blitz. I like that equipment/specialist bonus, you could use it on a regular firepot spec., or use it on something a bit more destructive like Exploding Shot.

Thanks!

I think its fine at 5 points, since it still takes up point space, and 5 points on something that is neither captain, helmsman, or some other essential gunship/gold runner crew is a hefty price to pay.
