‘PIRATE BORG’ Hoists Its Mainsail, Ye Scurvy Dogs
There’s plunder and loot to be had a-plenty, especially now that PIRATE BORG sets sail for a tabletop near you. Be ye warned.
When the award-winning doom art-punk RPG, MÖRK BORG hit tabletops, it unleashed a whole wave of art-driven rules-lite death/black humor heavy RPGs. From DUKK BORG to CY_BORG and beyond, there are a ton of things that use the doom-fueled engine at the heart of MÖRK BORG to explode into other genres.
It’s frankly amazing that it took this long to get to PIRATE BORG. And yet here we are, at last. Like land spotted through a spyglass as a distant wave crests, PIRATE BORG looms on the horizon. Full of plunder and promise. And using the heart of the BORG, you know it’s going to have a whole slew of ways to die on the high seas. So get out there, get those pieces of eight, and see how good murdered by pirates can be.
PIRATE BORG
PIRATE BORG is a game about being a greedy, filthy scoundrel. No prey, no pay. Find a ship. Recruit some crew. Raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer your weasley black guts out. Get a bigger ship. Kill some things. Upgrade your ship. Sneak into a fort. Raid a port. Acquire treasure. Bury said treasure. Become infamous. Search for someone else’s treasure. Flee in terror from unfathomable creatures from the deep. Drink all of the rum. Die on the high seas. Roll a new character and do it all again. Dead men tell no tales, so you’d better get a live one as fast as you can.
Included in the 166-page book are eight character classes, easy-to-learn naval combat rules, stats for 18 vessels, 80+ NPCs & monsters, 90+ system agnostic tables, and The Curse of Skeleton Point, a sandbox style adventure with 11 pirate-themed locations.
The book is out right now at Free League’s online store. When you order a physical copy, you get a PDF for free and immediately delivered to your inbox, because that’s something literally every game company is capable of, and every company but one does it.
