Firelock recently announced their , the gun-toting women ‘Boucaniere’. The project “funded” in record time, and digital modeling is underway for a full release of the ladies. We’ll be seeing them in live metal soon, but where do these women come from, and how do they fit into Blood & Plunder?
The only lists that Boucaniere appear in are the French ‘Chasseurs’ and ‘Caribbean Militia’ subfactions. These factions reflect the early 17th century French settlements in the Spanish Main. Despite their reputation, these settlers were not adventurers, but refugees of religious persecution.
Glenn, Tom, and Tyler take a dive into Oak and Iron. Tune in to see what the game is about, what you get in the starter, and what to expect when you’re trying it out. We also update the community about the current state of affairs in the Blood and Plunder Campaign. Glenn and Tom make their bets for July, and finally, we give away our biggest Trivia prize yet with a question about a Pirate King from Madagascar. Thanks for listening!
Join Glenn, Tyler and Tom as they continue their Blood and Plunder journey through a variety of topics. We continue to discuss the art of the sea battle and answer listener questions, make a big announcement about a joint Firelock, Blood and Pigment and No Dice No Glory Venture; A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN beginning on June 10th! Someone finally loses a bet, and will suffer the consequences. Glenn and Tom also announce a Trivia winner this week along with a new question for those with some solid googling skills. Thanks for joining us for our Tales of the Sail this month!

One of the greatest things about Blood & Plunder is the rich historical background the game recreates. The early colonial Americas features some amazing stories that centered around some larger-than-life characters who still hold our imagination today. The team at Firelock brings this history to you with their organized play kit which features unique missions and characters in a linked narrative campaign which is available for free from the website.

As gamers we often know the basic requirements for the games we play; models, terrain and a rulebook. However, many games also require game aids that not only help you play, but they also add to the aesthetic experience of the game. Gamers often pride themselves on items like tokens, dice and decks, and with all of games’ in catalog, you have some excellent accessories to choose from.

I was in the market for some of the little things that make Blood and Plunder games look so gorgeous. And while there are plenty of wonderful buildings and larger pieces on sale at Firelock’s site, there are other sources for some of the smaller stuff. And as someone whose tables are typically overflowing with terrain, I wanted to get my hands on some Market stalls and barrels.
Here is an overview of the haul I had delivered from , I’ll go over some of what they had in stock, how well it went together, and how easy it was to paint up.
On Irongate’s site, you’ll find sub categories for different types of terrain. the Aztec Ruins looked appealing, but I’ll save them for another article. I focused right in on the . I wanted to have a Bazar worth raiding and fighting over. So I grabbed a few of these.
