The big errata episode is here! The core rulebook is getting some corrections, updates, and balance changes and we're here to guide you through everything!
With the whole podcasting crew on, we hit all the hot topics, breeze through the little fixes, detail any rules changes, and reflect on our experiences playtesting some of these new rules and pontificate on how we see this update affecting the meta in 2025. 
We also recount Tales of Shame & Glory, review our painting projects, talk about Dan's piratical experience at the Texas Renaissance Faire, and peek behind the curtain at some of the active projects we're working on for Firelock Games.

It's a packed episode! 

Garrett, Fernando and Joseph are back with more Blood & Plunder news, updates, and a big conversation about playing "convention" size 3-10 player games of Blood & Plunder.

In this episode, Garret, Joseph, and Daniel talk about their Top 3 Favorite Sea Factions for Blood and Plunder. There are some sudden twists, as well as tactics that many players may not have realized are possible! 

In this episode Garrett, Dan, and Fernando go over their top 3 favorite Blood and Plunder land factions.

In this bonus episode, Joseph sits down with Bartosz, Commander of the Native American team in the 2024 Summer of Plunder. Since Bartosz wasn't able to get in on the big roundtable discussion, we caught up to him later and got to chat about how the campaign went from the Native American team's perspective.

In this special episode, Joseph and Jason host a roundtable discussion of the 2024 Summer of Plunder with (nearly) all the Commanders and 2nd in Commands for the 6 nations participating in the campaign this year. 
Each commander is asked how the campaign felt for them, what they focused on in their national chats, and why players should fight for them next year.
Then we have a bit of open time for interaction and review of the diplomacy aspect of the campaign before touching on some possible changes for Summer of Plunder, 2025.
Congratulations to the Dutch, led by Matthew Doerr this year for winning the campaign this year!

Thanks to all our special guests for coming on!

Join Dan and Joseph in a review of The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard. This title is one of the more well known and recent publications on the early 18th century pirates. It attempts to cut through some of the romance and legends and examine the Nassau pirates as they were, their backgrounds, influence on international politics, successes and failures and their ultimate place in history. 

Joined by Firelock Games' own Mike Tunez, Dan, Garrett and Joseph get a full update on the goings on at Firelock Games, including updates on Blood & Plunder, Port Royal and Oak & Iron.

After getting the exclusive scoop, we have a great conversation on tactics in Blood & Plunder. Swarm lists (many cheap models) have been strong for a long time in Blood & Plunder, but Elite lists (fewer, high cost models) have been placing high at tournaments as well. Fighting against these extremes on the Force Building spectrum can be challenging! With Mike's great insight, we got over some of the strengths and weaknesses of the lists, giving tips and tricks for how to play them and how to counter them. 

Hosts Garrett, Dan and Joseph finish the mini-series on building Blood & Plunder ships by discussing techniques and methods for creating sails and rigging. 
We also review the Enfilade convention and give some updates on the in-progress 2024 Summer of Plunder, seen from various perspectives as Spanish Commander, Pirate Commander a one of the Campaign Managers. 

The whole crew is here with Garrett, Dan, Joseph and Fernando on deck! First we do a quick walkthrough of the upcoming 2024 Summer of Plunder campaign event, and then we share our various processes for preparing, building and painting a Blood & Plunder ship so it's ready for the gaming table.

Garrett, Dan, Fernando and Joseph look at the recent changes in the new reprint of the No Peace Beyond the Line expansion for Blood & Plunder. Lots of great tales of games and hobby work, along with some reviews of books related to Blood & Plunder.
