"Mythical World of Pirates" from @TheWorldofChap takes the tools provided by Custom Seas to hand control over to 'God' roles inside of an intriguing game mode where crews have to snap up loot & secure it in their bases. AND it's all for charity - keep an eye on this one!

Arena Classic from @Tato_Tunes is so cool, he's changing damage and gameplay mechanics back to 2019, such as 1-shot Blunder, 20 damage Sword Slash & no reviving! Having started my deeper relationship with the game with Arena and @SeaOfChampions this feels so nostalgic 😄
