Pirates CSG Podcast A7XfanBen

Questions of the Day:

Ben: Would you buy a similar but not compatible version of the Pirates of the Spanish Main IP from Wizkids? (similar theme and artwork, but not compatible with the original CSG)

Mike: Would you be interested in a scenario model of play?

How do you play the game?  Do you play it for a 30 minute quick game, or larger games that take longer?

Would you have liked to see the minor faction storylines in more of the sets?

Mike Mulvhill is one of the true giants of Wizkids Pirates CSG history, having designed the majority of the game pieces!  He was heavily involved in numerous aspects of the game from Spanish Main through Rise of the Fiends, and helped with certain aspects on Fire and Steel.  The game was basically his in terms of game design, concept creation, game mechanics and gameplay concepts, as well as rules, factions, and the specific individual game pieces.
