I’m disappointed that this turn has become such a hassle, This church is a shackle on the story. I’ll get turned around but it’ll take some thinkerizing. In the mean time the rest of the week will definitely be more journal-like than normal. Covid coping and whatnot.
I updated this art work, the old strip worked under the text and made me laugh.
Early in the day I have plenty of time to do other stuff. in the evening we’re still safe. Oh its midnight.
I feel like a western is brewing.
I stopped at a dutch missionary to remove some bounties during the Merchants and Marauders session. Nothing major happened in the tale end of the game so I’ve condensed 4-5 turns down to this porting action. Since I played most of the time as a merchant I’d rather not waste 3 weeks repeating, I sailed, I ported, I sailed, I ported. I earned alot of gold on those turns but they would make a repetative story.
Oh man was this one hard to get down for some reason. I don’t know if it was burn out or if I was just stuck trying to get all the final story pieces in place. There are only 4-5 more left before a tale of sails is complete, which makes me both happy and disappointed. Happy because I’m tired of the setting, but disappointing because I feel like the story would have been better with a few more sprinkled in where I truncated turns down. Showing the documents get delivered had potential for humor but I really didn’t want to drag this out any longer.
The next board game story will not be a sandbox game like Merchants and Marauders again for a while, I need to trim the story better next time before I do a large one. For now the next few will be based on shorter more linear games.
I will never not post at least something, but I’ve been stuck on this one for 5 days. I have it figured out now but I can’t finish it on time. Enjoy the preview I guess.
I’d advise not working two jobs and trying to start a large art project as well.
I arrived with my last movement to the seas around tortuga. I would have to wait until the next turn to port and unload all my goods. At this point in the game we had lost track of victory points because we were to excited exploring. After going over old turns I realized the gold accumulated from this turn would put me at 10 points., or at least close enough for us to call it anyway.
This story will be wrapping up over the next couple weeks and the next Billy Oboe strip will begin. I’m thinking race cars next time.
This condenses a few uneventful turns down to a single panel. I hopped from port to port buying and selling along the way from San Juan to Tortuga. Monte had left many of the sea spots I used empty of merchants along the way, so there was little for me to raid.
The beginning of turn 7(?) I’m not going to lie at this point in the game my note taking had become spotty. I have the key moments that happen but I don’t know what turn at this point. The story and game are nearing their end’s at this point looks like 8 more and the next game will start. Maybe the next one will be a racing game, I did just pick up Rallyman GT.
This one was an experiment with colors from an image I had seen elsewhere, it came out ok, Not great, but ok. I guess that what happens doing these in the evening after work. Sometimes there’s a dud but I gotta use it anyway.
Merchants and Marauders playthough continues. I was able to use the haze as a reason to delay moving for the story. In the game the storm marker and enemy ships were all within striking distance so I waited one out to see what direction everything would head.
Merchants and marauders turn 6 concludes. The fluyte,..flujt,….. My starting ship has now been upgraded to a Galleon. The pirate sloops are much less a concern now.
I’m not putting tracking marks on Billy Oboe strips, yellow and yellow today.
