Days of Plunder ...
In July, I did a solo day of pirates, testing out the new crew and ships and coming to a better understanding of using ships in the Blood & Plunder system.
 |
the two sloops got to engage each other for the first time
|
 |
close range battle ensued
|
 |
the black and red 'pirate' vessel came up the worst
|
 |
some great photos of the sloops
|
 |
on fire the 'pirates' were doomed
|
Then the game was able to be staged in the War Dungeon, in the Nanaimo area.
 |
we started off with a little beach assault scenario
so the players could learn the rules
|
 |
there were some 'home-spun' ships
|
 |
the one crew abandoned their crippled ship
|
 |
while a pair of brigantines did a duel ... the homespun
one coming up very badly mauled
|
 |
not able to win, the sloop selected open water and evaded
|
I did the cannon firing wrong, it was upon returning home and re-reading the cannon rules that I realized at least 6 more chances to get hits were missed in the first volley ...
Ah well ... everyone had a good time.

What material are you using for the sea? It looks very effective and has a nice reflective quality.
The ocean is done in two parts.
on the bottom is a blue fabric from a roll end, there are two different colors in the 'weave' of this silky fabric, so depending on where the light hits it there could be a light blue reflection or a dark blue reflection. The weave makes the cloth appear to change color slowly from dark to light blue.
on the top is a section of clear plastic that is flexible; again a roll end from Industrial Plastics and Paint, from just after everything re-opened in 2020, so they had plenty of this plastic from doing so many cash registers and other fast 'lash-ups' for 'spit-guards' so the cost was low.
my total for enough to cover a 4'x6' area was $23.
Thanks.
