Maybe then it would have been better to drop the spreadsheets altogether and concentrate on mocs and stories, but keep the game going. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to blame anybody!! I just wanted to write something to show that the BotBS is not forgotten. I know how it is to work an a hobby game as an volunteer. I create content for a almost dead videogame remake and I am the only person on this planet still creating maps for it Anyway, it is sad to see such a long break, 3 years and counting and maybe the new BotBS project was to ambitious after all. Maybe you could share the current state with the players?

Time to change the thread title. Again Honestly, it would have been better to just tweak the rules a teeny tiny bit, just so people can not get rich in no time, and otherwise keep the game as is. Now we lost 3 years already...

Next one: The lady on the left with the green dress and the sideburn guy, second from right, look very very interesting.

Today (5pm German time) there will be the chance to get hold of one of the last copies of BDP series 5 sets, amongst them BDP 910053 The Thieves of Tortuga. Please see the stonewars article for further information.

There is a picture on reddit (already acouple days old) of May's BAM minifigs and one of the torsos looks useful for a pirate. Also the sextant seems to become a BAM accessoire.

The hat looks interesting! Hopefully it will work like any other hat Fingers crossed! When will the series be released?

I was born in the early 80s and grew up with all the classic themes, mainly I was playing with Pirates, Castle and Town every kriffin day! I was not interested in Space very much back then, but still had some sets. I still remember the base plate with the molded craters very well. I was building hugh castles, utilizing every single brick I owned (and the ones my brother owned). And I liked to build a small town where light & sound would provide some safety for the road construction sites. Oh and I liked to build pirate ships! Anyway, what I want to say is, that not everybody is affected by nostalgia as I think that everything we have today is far superior to the bricks and minifigs I was playing with as a kid. Nowadays we have more colors, a truckload of different bricks and pieces that boost your mocs and most important to me - much better fleshy minifigs. I'd pick Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, POTC, LOTR and of course Star Wars over everything I had as a kid! Not because I lack the imagination as some fans of the classic themes might think but because all of the new licensed stuff - the bricks and pieces and minifigs - provide the best foundation for my mocs.

This one:

Unfortunately there's some red printed on the bottom of the musician's torso, that reduces the versatility. The Monster Hunter on the other hand is a great minifig and will be very useful in a Pirates environment.

I found the minifigure series 29 in my local supermarket and bought a handful of boxes today. None of the apps had the series listed so far. At least none was working so I opened the boxes because I couldn't wait One of them was the musician. Here's a better look of the torso:

Your blatant hate towards everything that is not Lego is blinding you. You are spreading hate in this forum for years now and I wish you would stop echoing the same hateful statements over and over again. The "private individual" as you call him is the founder of the modern Kiddcraft company and the owner of the trademark. Lego never owned the Kiddicraft trademark. He knows more about the whole process than anybody else I have heard or read since I left my dark ages in 2018. From designing a set, creating new molds, creating new minifigs, printing, packaging, logistics & transport, pricing, protected parts and patents, legal basis and many more topics. He speaks openly about all these topics in his videos. And he certainly has more expertise on these subjects than most people on this planet. Surely more expertise than the haters.

Gotcha!

Very interesting look behind the scenes! Thanks for sharing. The ship looks fantastic (as do your other ships, like the Pinnacle (I was just browsing your flickr))! I have no idea about the collective weight of the cloth sails. Does it have any effect on the stability of the masts?

Did Lego ever had a soul in the first place? The world was just much smaller in the 80s and 90s and licensing is much bigger nowadays. At least from my perception.

Hey, that is unfair! That is exactly what you criticized me for doing. How is this different from my opinion on the smart brick without me trying it out? Anyway, time to move on from that smart brick thingy. At this point I don't even want to spend one thought about it anymore
