@Xerecs: Indeed, one of the ships in The Hourly Campaign has Loa’s Protection I believe.  Is Ehlek a loa from real life Voodoo or a custom you made that references the loa?

On a flavor level, this might have some implications for stuff that JWDarkhurst and I have been working on.

Ooo nice, looking forward to it.  I have missed this thread a bit t…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Neat!  Though we played it on 12/2/2019.

Yeah…. I sat on it for a while, had all the stuff recorded, but I hadn’t been able to put it together yet.

That said, I’m pleased with how it came out, because background music! 😀

@Xerecs: Neat!  Though we played it on 12/2/2019.

I submitted a BR today as well: Points in Play + gold with 3 players, 50 points

Time to respond to 3 months’ worth of posts in this thread!  XD

@JW Darkhurst: Thank you for the feedback!

I like the Garroway and Luke Gray.  Morgenstern sounds like she’s in a pretty messed up situation… maybe the Loa can get involved somehow.  😉

Besides I think the last line of his ability text prevents any kind of use on non-Corsair sh…

@Xerecs: Sounds like a fun day of action!  A lot of these customs still seem overpowered to me, but I guess I always think that about your customs.  XD  (I think it’s the overabundance of action generators)

Unfortunately the Endeavour got Morgan’s Extra Action, and surged through the gap and laid waste to the Vengance, sinking her.

Yes!  Go Engli…[Read more]

Been working on an ability that would let a ship load and carry around Native Canoes. It currently looks like this:

Carrier: If at any time a friendly native canoe is touching this ship, that canoe may be loaded onto this ship as cargo. Any cargo that canoe was carrying is also unloaded onto this ship. To unload canoes, give this ship a…

@Xerecs: I like that ability as-is, but that’s probably because I helped you make it lol

Yes, I have returned. But I didn’t bring pizza, I brought a couple more American pieces from Eldest Seas! So let’s get into it!

–Blockade Runner: This ship gets +1 to ramming and boarding rolls. This ship can’t have her masts rammed off.

15. USS…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Yes

Alright, I lied. Ima post more today, not yesterday
SO, back to the Americans of Eldest Seas! (skipping #10 for now because it has Repeating Guns)

Relevant Keywords:

–Canceler: Once per turn, one crew or ship within S of this ship cannot use its ability this turn.

–Privateer: This piece may use its abilities on any ship, but it…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Yes; the second shots happen after all of the first ones.
Also, yes; ALL viable cannons must be fired and hit in order to activate Repeating Guns.
One of the reasons why (I think) the majority of RG ships have one cannon rank across the board, or have very similar/close ones.

-Darkhurst

@Xerecs: I’m sure you’d still find a way 😂

Hello again, all!
Time for more Americans from Eldest Seas!

Relevant Keywords

–Sub-Hunter: This ship may shoot at submerged targets within S of her.

–World-Hater: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against any [non-faction] ship.

5. USS Breach
Points: 17
Masts: 4
Cannons: 2L, 3L, 3L, 2L

@Xerecs: From what I recall, Dominic Freda was 4 points, and he’s basically this version of Ramirez, but with Explorer instead of Helmsman. I don’t usually like boosting point costs based on anything that isn’t the ability costs, so that’s why he’s 5 and not 6.

Quick update: Next Eldest Seas post will be a double one, wrapping up the Spanish, and…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Would making all of the Fuega del Sol’s cannons 2-rank boost her to at least 12 points?

And I’m back again with some more custom Spaniards from Eldest Seas!

Relevant Keywords

–Privateer: This piece may use its abilities on any ship, but it gains the Loyal: X keyword for its flag faction.

–EA: Once per turn, roll a d6. On a 5-6, give…[Read more]

@Xerecs (spoilers ahead)

What a game!
Seems like The Cursed and Angelica were potentially careless with that massive ice floe, unless it’s moving more than I think it is.
I’m pretty sure Periscope isn’t that good, much to my disappointment when I found out. I think Woelf said that it can only be used on the turn it’s played (“this turn”), not…[Read more]

@Xerecs: A’ight, I can make L-Range happen. About the same points for that as currently?
I think at one point, I’d adjusted the point cost of the Sacrifice, but that was on my phone when it was being wonky, so 😛
What would you suggest? We talking 14-16 point range?

-Darkhurst

@Xerecs

Suppose the ability was changed to either match or resemble the ability of The Kraken, or Cursed Captain Jack. Would it be less broken then?

It would be less broken, but could still get ugly on turns when the roll hit – and rerollers would make it that much more dangerous.
