A Pirate’s Last Chance – “Raise the Black” The Last Hurrah

By Tom Chairborne Mullane

It’s peak season for leaf peepers here in New England. Cold temperatures usually accompany autumn in the North East, but this year has seen some really warm weather. I took the opportunity to play some demo games with my friend Tim outside.

Blood and Plunder isn’t officially carried by the store, so I’ve been painting commissions for folks to get them started. I am painting a Pirate force for Tim, and he wanted a refresher on the rules before he dived into the kickstarter.

My Dad and I have also been selling hotdogs out of our roadside stand in Hudson NY as a way for him to kill some of his free time.

I will do my best to give a general overview of all this, and we here at No Dice No Glory will follow that up with some exercises in list building. Tyler Stone, Glenn Van Meter and myself will embark on this journey under the black flag together.

Blood and Valor Starter Set Review

By Mitch Reed

Maybe the pandemic was a good thing for some of us gamers. We got a chance to read new rules to possibly play new games once in-person gaming resumes. Many of us also caught up on painting, something we never thought we would do.

One of the games that many people have been looking at since its late December 2019 release was Blood and Valor, a game we have covered here quite a bit. Coming from the crew at , Blood and Valor gives gamers a chance to play the war at the 28mm skirmish level that covers the war beyond the trenches.
