I don’t know why I’m so surprised that the Pirate TTRPG guy does a perfect Mr. Krabs voice.

"Go big now" is great. I always worry about the "perfect" time to use ideas

Don't buy it. It doesn't work as well as this guy wants to pretend it does. This is coming from someone who's tried it multiple times.

Works great for Pirate Borg imo. Doing that in 5e can get a little hairy

I'm three sessions into running Pirate borg with the Hot Springs island setting where they got shipwrecked. We've barely had any combat because they're having a great time exploring the place.

That sounds amazing.

Pirate Borg is by far one of my favorite RPGs. Thank you!

Gotta love that Rules 1-6 and 10 are just general GMing advice that doesn't apply to pirate games only. I clicked this video despite not planning to run a pirate campaign anytime soon, and I don't regret it.

Arrrrr! Stoked for The Dark Caribbean!!!!!

Ran the starter sandbox adventure. Most fun my players have had in years!

Man I never thought to have domain level play for Pirate Borg, that dounds fantastic.

THIS is how to do it. May your generosity be rewarded thrice times three.

Come to think of it, three times three times free is actually nothing.... But you know what I mean.

I have watched this video at least six times already. The advice is gold!

Hey man, thanks for a great and easily digested video. Really love the "go big now" and "dont hide information behind rolls" !

I love ALL Limithron videos!

Just bought Assassins Creed manual based on your video, top tip! Thank you very much!

This is great general advice, not just pirate campaign advice. Good stuff!

Thanks for posting this! I've been having a hell of a time brainstorming ideas for a pirate based game, even though I've collected tons of peripheral stuff for one for years now.

You DM style is pretty alligned with OSR one-shot improv style. Just forget balance and make the dice do the ruling part. They are merciless. Most times the DM will be just trying to keep the players alive. 😂

Go BIG is so important! last time I DMed a pirate themed weekend, I tried so hard to tie my adventure with what happened in the previous session, it ended up feeling dull and anti-climactic. The instinct I should have followed was the beginning of the adventure in the Pirate Borg core book - just crash a flippin ghost ship in and throw zombies at them!!! So much fun! Next time, I’ll listen to those zombie voices in my head! Thanks, Limithron! (Are there extensive stats for the +3 Bazooka of Dismemberment in the Pirate Borg Advanced Weapons 3 Supplement?) 🙄

Amazing video! Watched because one of my players has been asking for ships, and ended up watching one of the best and most succinct videos on GMing in general!

I'm beginning to love anything Pirate Borg related. This has become one of my all time favorite RPG's.

Pirate Borg is great stuff. And as a former Coloradan, I'm happy to support folks from back home.

Such a great video

Oh man... I've been hooked since I became aware of this game! The table about what you did last night is legendary. I don't play most of the Borg games because the satanic imagery bothers me. I know it's a game, but invert a cross and I'm out. Pirate Borg, however is just fantastic. And brutal.

One of the desicples (Peter? Paul? ) i forget witch one was crucified upside down on his own request, to prove that his faith was strong he would suffer more then jesus. So its originally a christian expression of the strength of your faith i can agree that it has been apropriated as a symbol of protest against the church or god depending. There are text only pdfs on their page i believe that is free of the symbols you object to.

@@dmeepFair point. That's good to know. Thanks for letting me know. And I do know the story you mean. It's Peter who was supposed to have been crucified upside down. I'm not sure that's historically accurate. Paul was beheaded in Rome. That is historically attested to. Anyway, I appreciate the civil demeanor and thoughts. The interwebs can sometimes get rough, so thanks. Cheers!

Excellent video, Luke!

Love Pirate Borg. The Limithron ppl I met at Pax were great

Pirates! Everything is better with pirates. Ordered your rules for naval combat.

Great video, Luke!

Loved the snippet of Tim Curry.

Nice notes, go big, use fleets, steal stuff. So do I want Rapscallion from Magpie Games or Sundered Isles from Ironsworn?

Me and my friends as little nerdy teenagers once ran a ridiculous OP monster campaign where we each played a different kind of monster that were ridiculously powerful, and in turn we fought ridiculous odds. The setting was tropical in nature, in Al-Qadim, specifically on the islands and we were helping what were essentially Barbary pirates in a republic fight off both the Sultan and an underwater empire of Kuo-Toas. I played a female Reef Giant, my friends played a Genie, a Fairy Dragon, and an Aarakocra respectively. It was fun but boy did we ignore a lot of rolls lmao.

Looking forward to Dark Caribbean!!

Looking good!

Absolutely 1000% great advice

Love me some Pirate Borg! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

I second Black Sails. If you fancy GoT-style political intrigue in a pirate setting, nothing else comes close.

Aye admiral! 🏴‍☠️

I would love to see a collaboration of Pirate Borg and Shadowdark. These are by far my two favorite d20 games atm.

I own both (played Shadowdark, didn't play Pirate Borg yet). There's almost no conversion needed between the two systems, so feel free to just run that campaign. I'd play in it!

I would ALSO like to see this! I love Shadowdark.

More videos, please!

When do we get to see pirates versus their natural enemies: ninjas?!

Pirates actually weren't as murderous as you might believe, they were far more likely to try and recruit you

Dude we need roll20 character sheet !

Aharrrr ☠️

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! 🦜

"You guys might not be the good guys but you're also not the bad guys" Had an awkward time at ECCC when our game nearly derailed after a miscommunication... gotta stop presenting new players with moral quandries

"Rulings Over Rules" is such a terrible philosophy. Letting the GM have unlimited control over how the mechanics work is asking for a terrible game where they're the only one having fun.

Um... Hate to break it to you. This is virtually all just generic RPG advice which we've seen a bazillion times before. Love Pirate Borg, but expected far more relevant info. :(

I love ALL Limithron videos!
