If you use Hidden Cove to fling a ship to a Mysterious Island, can you immediately roll for that Island’s effects? If you can, can the target ship be given a move action to move away, re-dock and roll for effects again?

Hidden Cove docks the ship, so you do have to roll for the island effect immediately.   If you used your action(s) to mov…[Read more]

Can you re-roll the die roll for the Duel event, if the chosen crew are on the same ship as a re-roll?

No, for the same reason you can’t reroll a Marine.    The roll is being made for the crew, not the ship they’re on.

Can a home island raider dock at an enemy home island if there aren’t any coins there?

Yes.  You just won’t get…[Read more]

Can Behemoth copy the specific ability of USS Lamon/Barracuda and ram another ship while submerged?

Yes.

Just to confirm, the ignoring terrain ability does not allow you to shoot while overlapping a fog bank either?  (similar to Ghost Ship as discussed above)

Correct.  The same ruling applies to b…[Read more]

I assume that the “cannot load treasure” part of the Sea Creature rules would satisfy the above and thus prevent Intermediaro from giving treasure to a friendly Sea Monster?

Correct.   Intermediario’s ability doesn’t say anything about overriding cargo restrictions, so that sea creature rule still applies.

@CrazyIvan

Is it correct that…

Suppose that Jonah is on the same ship as Papa Doc. Would Jonah’s ability force any possessed crew to take up cargo space, or would the possessed crew not take up cargo space, per the Code entry?

That line in the PC entry for Papa Doc should be applied as a rule, which means it can be overridden by other abilities, but even if it was p…[Read more]

Suppose you decide to cancel a friendly Submarine to the surface. At the end of your turn what happens to the submarine? Does it return to a submerged status or does it remain on the surface?

Submerged (also Ghostly) is only toggled at the beginning of your own turn, so if it gets shut off (cancelled) in between, it stays off until you…[Read more]

Now it is time to grade the fleets!

151. The Ignika: Once at the beginning of each of your turns roll a d6. On a result of 4-6 place a crew worth point cost 3 or less on this ship. On a 1-3 eliminate a crew on this ship.
152. The Olmak: At the beginning of your turn, roll a d6. On a result of 6, this ship has D movement for this turn.

Both of these could b…[Read more]

How does Homemade Flag interact with ships that have Extended Range? The code ruling is unclear to me.

The range reduction is applied after everything else that modifies range, so Extended Range won’t let you bypass it.

I like how it works thematically.  The fake flag works just well enough that enemy ships need to get in close to make…[Read more]

Yes, the fogpool is both, as described in the rules. The Sapphire Sea is still towing the Morning Star. Per the Code the MS is not lost automatically.

THIS GAME IS EPIC!!!!!!!!

Also just wondering where do you mateys get the 3D Islands from?

It’s alluded to that Davy Jones disappeared and El Fantasma resumed command of the cursed. Do we know what happened to Davy Jones at all? @Xerecs I think I saw your custom set Return of Davy Jones, would you have any insight?

In reality WK gave pirates a soft re-boot after Ocean’s Edge and the Disney pirates release. Some of the major c…[Read more]

A couple of quick lore questions that I haven’t been able to find answers to;

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 s…

Also @Xerecs: Regarding the Mask of Creation UT-

Once per turn roll a d6. On a result of 6 place up to three random treasures on the nearest wild island. If there is a tie, the player to your left chooses which island.

Are these 3 “random” treasures from outside the game?

Captain. If this ship wins a boarding party, she may capture all of the enemy ships crew. Captives become assigned to this ship, take up no cargo space, and may use their abilities. Captives cannot leave this ship.

Give this ship a move action but do not move her. Instead you may move any other ship within 3L of this ship.

Does this mean you can give a move action to another ship within 3L of the first ship, or does it mean you can move any ship in play from its original location to anywhere within 3L of…[Read more]

Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll certainly post some more once they go through my creative workshop.

@Ben

Glad you like it!

I like the idea of the chaining! Copying the ability could cause some insane shifts in battles and really give a large target, like a 10-master as you mentioned, a better chance when being teamed up on.

@Xerecs

That is correct, but I should have a line in there somewhere that says something to the effect of “you can’t fire on friendly ships normally, just with this ability.” And in addition, you can only use Soul Split on friendly ships,…[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! 😀

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

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.  😉
