Firepots, Stinkpots and Grenadoes all perform special jobs in Blood & Plunder and can be very dynamic on the table. We discuss rules for each different explosive, and then how to is it well in a game.

Dan, Joseph and Riley take a survey of all the ships currently available in Blood & Plunder. Starting with the Canoa and moving all the way through to the Galleon, we take a look at each ship, what it's good at, what makes it unique, which nations it might work especially well for and if it might be a good addition to your fleet.

We have lots to talk about on this episode! We discuss the Summer of Plunder conclusion, and Garrett's experiences as Gencon and Nashcon before jumping into our main topic: Crew Management.

Running a ship well in Blood & Plunder takes some experience and finesse. You have lots of options, and lots of potential problems to manage once you make contact with the enemy.

We talk through some of the common pitfalls and give some "expert tips" on building and managing a crew that will work well on your Blood & Plunder ship.
