I’ve a question or two about your Equipment Copper Sheathing.

Once used, does it still takes up point space on the ship its been applied to? I know it doesn’t take up cargo space, but what about point space?

Could you use more than one on the same ship?

Would using it on a ship with a L+S base move make that ships base move L+L? Or if you used…[Read more]

I’m holding out a slim hope that the new owners of MT ‘un-ban’ me. I was very frustrated and upset that it snagged my brothers, which I thought was unfair. The ban snagged them because we share and IP address, and that’s what was banned.

That aside, I do believe that community is scattered, with MT still ‘active’ PwB and the FB group, thee are…[Read more]

After much anticipation and a year plus of development, it is done! Pirates of Spheus Magna is now available to download on BGG, in the Files section.

Pirates of Spherus Magna

This is my third, largest and final custom pirates set. I’ll be hanging my hat on custom creation. I’ll offer insight on customs posted here, and I’ll be helping JW…[Read more]

Hoping it goes over more as a compliment than any “theft” of ideas.

Quite a compliment, and rather flattering. I like the combination of abilities on the Treasure, she’s a dedicated large gold hauler. He tertiary ability prevents he from ever becoming a gunship, bu you could put on some boarding oriented crew to make her an unconventional fig…[Read more]

No, don’t change Sharpton!!!! 😀 I figure you could make another American who has more serious anti-pirate abilities.

I think that the justice is priced fine at 18, even with he bonus. Since its likely you won’t be chasing pirates o Cursed all the time. Outside of the Bonus, she’s a decent 5 mast for the Americans.

I also think that Sharpton is fine as-is. I would probably NOT use him on his linked ship though. I’d probably put him on the RV constitution! 😀

I really like the Justice and Sharpton. the + to die rolls would affect cannons yes? O would it only affect things like EA/SAT, Boarding?

but you could also let crew leave the ship.  Perhaps a crew can move L per turn on the island, and can carry one coin at a time back to the beach.

Sounds like a rule for a campaign, and would lend itself well to islands that have paths cut into them, like my arch island, or the Bone Temple island.

I did that simply because the islands wee large, and it felt silly to have only one stack of coins per island. 😀 Maybe next time I use the islands for a game, I’ll take pictures. I’ll hopefully be playing that scenario game I mentioned on the Podcast today. That I’ll take pictures for.

Just played a game with one of my brothers. 70 point game, and we used my islands from the Oceans Terrain Contest. That gave us 4 islands as wild islands. To spice things up a bit, all but one island had more than one stack of coins on it, each assigned a die value. When a ship would dock to explore, it would roll a d6 fist, and the result was the…[Read more]

I’ve updated the file for Fiends of the Blood Islands on BGG. It might take a while for the new file to appear, but when it does it’ll be here: Fiends of the Blood Islands

Serenata is too cheap. She should be about 5 to 6 points more.

I’m not sue how I feel about the Resuelto, her cannons are already very good.

JW posted the first of them, here are the rest of the convention pack story insets for Fiends of the Blood Islands.

USS Ironsides:
The captain of the USS Ironsides looked warily back towards the fleet of rotting, bone-encrusted ships on the horizon.
“This wasn’t part of the plan…”, his voice nervously trailed off as he glanced at his two…[Read more]

In addition to the Leicester, I’ve seen the bronze corner on the HMS Dover and Shadow. I’m assuming (like Ben) that they originally had a different color for Uncommon, but changed it. Possibly because the bronze/brown color went on to become the color for LE rarities.

Thanks for that link to the galley pictures. It’ll help a bunch if/when I do reviews of ships/crew.

Would you consider a ‘fleets’ section like MT, or would that be difficult to implement; or just isn’t high on the priority list?

Hadn’t though of stickers o anything like that. That would make using other peoples customs easier. I think though, that putting the scans out thee would have to be fee, otherwise you’d have creators competing with whoever was selling the blank packs. That said,if the game came back, and IF blank packs became a thing and IF what you and I are…[Read more]

I’d be all for that, obviously. The custom  potential would be though the roof, not only with artwork, but with cannon ranks and whatnot. It’s too bad something like this didn’t exist, would have made my day a lot easier. 😀

As for rules/guidelines and such, you could include them on a small sheet, detailing etiquette for using custom pieces in…[Read more]

Changed the wording on these, think they might be better.

Catapult
Equipment
Points: 3
Ability: This equipment may be used on an island o on a ship. If used on a ship; she gains one 4L cannon that can shoot from any mast (even an eliminated mast). If the cannon roll is a 1, turn this equipment face-down. You may give this ship a repair action to…[Read more]

I’ve had my eye on some of these, but my funding hasn’t recovered from Christmas. 😀

So….. Will you make a ship fo Snoopy? 😀

Jokes aside, I really like this ship, and I like the fist pat of he link. I’m interested to see what Clout does.
