Mercenaries & Privateers is a card expansion for the Swords & Sails epic game of diplomacy, conquest, and intrigue set in 1000 AD. You can get all the original items which were available with the original Kickstarter while supplies last. You can even add items from our Tali, Roman Knucklebones and Micro-Role Playing game if desired. Look for the Separate Shipping Add-On to request shipping the current items (previously manufactured) as soon as we can and not to wait for everything to come at once.

Come help us make more historic metal coins
We need to mint more coins. This time around we are looking at creating Fatamid coins as well. Likely as a stretch goal.

Hi everyone.
All of the rewards have now been shipped for the campaign.
Everyone in the US and most in the UK, EU, and rest of Europe areas should either have received their rewards. If you live in one of the above areas and have not received yours by the end of this week, please reach out to me. If you live in Asia / Australia / New Zealand, the packages should be on their way but I am unsure on how long it will take, so maybe give it about till the end of next week for those areas, and then reach out to me.
Errata: One of our backers have spotted our first major typo in the rule sheet of the M&P expansion (one which will affect play). I apologize as this was not spotted during our QA process. The typo is that when using the Calamity and Prosperity cards, the rule sheet says: "At the start of the game, separate and shuffle each deck before play. Just before each collect income turn, roll three 6-sided dice. If a 13 is the result, a Calamity card is drawn. If a 7 is rolled, a Prosperity card is drawn." As pointed out by our backer who caught the typo, it is impossible to get a 13 without a modifier. The typo is that three dice are rolled, not two. I have updated the online version of the M&P rules from the website. Updated M&P Rule Sheet
Feel free to either just mark your own sheet by crossing off two and writing three or you can print your own replacement out, using the link above. If you print your own out, the page size is over 16" long by nearly 8" wide. So you would need to print on 17"x11" paper, to generate the same 5x2 folds to fit in the package.
The full replacement text for that paragraph is:
Calamity (or natural disaster) & Prosperity (or Boon) cards can optionally be added to a game of Swords & Sails. If played, then both the Calamity card deck, in grey and the Prosperity card deck in white must be played. At the start of the game, separate and shuffle each deck before play. Just before each collect income phase, roll three 6- sided dice. If a 13 is the result, a Calamity card is drawn. If a 7 is rolled, a Prosperity card is drawn. The drawn card will affect all players in the game equally during that season. For more frequent chances of Prosperity and Calamities, roll 2d6 and add the number of seasons played (1 for season / turn, etc.). This will make a sliding scale of chances for up to 10 seasons / turns.
In all regions, shipping your items should be in progress. The Australia / New Zealand backers could be lagging a little behind others as the goods maybe moved via ship before being mailed locally by courier service.
I expect Canadian and Eastern EU countries may also a take a few weeks to fully be completed but they have been scheduled to go out and Canadian shipping sometimes gets delayed through customs.
The US backers should get there items late thus week or early next week in most cases.
Thank you all and please message me with any questions.
Jason.
