Ahoy everybody! The Prize Tsar is going to walk everybody through which prizes are available week by week, so players can plan ahead and see what prizes they want to work for and/or see where their entries are going for prizes!
There’s a substantial number of prizes going out every week during the Summer of Plunder. Here are the prizes that will be awarded at the end of the first week (6/9-6/15)
Weekly Giveaways
When you enter your game on the entry form, you can choose to be entered for a chance to win either some minis or some terrain.
Blister of Miniatures
This prize will be either a blister of minis from the nation you played as for Blood & Plunder, a single ship for Oak & Iron, or a blister of minis OR a customizable mini for Port Royal.
Terrain Pieces
This week we are giving away a Dutch House courtesy of Timber and Sail!
Additionally, we are giving away a Farmed Field from BrassTac Terrain!
Weekly Objective Prizes
If you participate in the weekly objective, either by playing the “scenario of the week” from the Organized Play Kit, or accomplishing the weekly objective for your game, you can choose to be entered to win one of 2 or 3 prizes (depending on the week): an accessory pack, a painted commander miniature, or a book that’s related to the weekly scenario
Accessory Pack
This weekly prize, coming from Tyler at the Doubloon Lagoon, contains a handy folding ruler, a ship movement template, and possibly more!
Painted Commander Mini – Benjamin Hornigold
Dr. D from the Raise the Black/Arachne podcast has painted up a set of the Organized Play Kit commander minis and donated them to the campaign. During the 6 weeks when these commanders are featured in the “scenario of the week,” we get to give away one of these beautifully painted minis.
This week we are giving away Benjamin Hornigold featured in the Hornigold and Teach Attack La Concorde scenario from the Organized Play Kit.
Book – The Pirate Menace
This is for all you excellent history nerds! Each week we will be giving away a book related to the scenario of the week in the Organized Play Kit.
This week we will be giving away The Pirate Menace by Angus Konstam.
This is a great overview of the 18th century pirates, including Benjamin Hornigold. This is a well written account just recently published in 2024.
New Player Goodies
We love to see new player jump into the hobby! Every other week, Firelock Games will be donating a substantial package of goodies to a “new player” (defined by playing their game less than 1 year). These prize can be the One Player Starter set which contains the rulebook, a ship, activation deck, dice, commander model, and a Sailor and Militia unit box, or a more flexible $100 worth of credit in the Firelock Games webstore.
