I've never hit "Notify on launch" as quickly as I did for this project. You're right about Monkey Island being a true mark of culture in a person :)

Mörk Borg's themes are a little dark for me, but a lot of the tables/rules/material in this book looks amazing

IMO this game is not dark, or at least dont has to be dark, it is like Pirates of the Caribbean with more magic and overall supernatural.

If Mork Borg is like Swedish Death Metal, Pirate Borg is like Pirate Metal. Put on some Alestorm while running it.

ALESTORM! Also have you checked out Ahab? They are like Pirate Doom metal.

I really like Age of Sailing/Pirate-themed settings and that with Mörk Borg sounds like really good fit! Mörk Borg is pronounced "M-UH-rk Bor-J". :)

Borj as in gourge??

Derelict ship generator! How cool is that!?!

As a Swede I guess you should pronounce it kinda like ”mirk borj” (but with a sort of rolling ”r”). I wish I could write in phonetics on my phone. 😊

Oh this book looks great! just seeing the skeleton captain inspired me so much! I imagine a man who in life had a great beard, and in death is envious of himself so he fashions a beard made of seaweed! "Call me weedbeard!" He has an old time gun that shoots a single bullet before needing to be reloaded, but the bullets are his own finger bones. They might do necrotic damage if they remain in a hapless characters body, though perceptive players might notice a slight pull towards the captain at all time as if the finger bone wants to be reunited with it's hand. Especially useful if the captain hides! And of course Hilarity ensues once the captain notices he shot away his trigger finger!

I love the art! Backed immediately! Thank you for the review.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find an Ose group? I’m 14 and no one around my ages likes dnd, or if they do it’s 5e, any help would be very much appreciated

I heard it pronounced "Mourick Bury." I'm told the actual pronunciation is very close to this but not exact.

I could never understand how nerds found fellow nerds to play these board RPG's, but the boxes and pages are truely works of art in themselves.

You planning on looking at any of the new lotfp books? The staffortonshire trading company works of john williams is very useful for running games set in the 17th century or more generally as inspiration for your own structures

Probably should be called Mörkt Hav or something like that instead of Pirate Borg.

I wish the *punk aesthetic would be scaled down even more, there are still lots of pointlessly different fonts, some of them a bit hard to read. Thankfully though, it definitely looks better and more readable than Mörk Borg.

Can you play this with out a GM...

Respectfully disagree. Having some movement and a human touch in the vid is helpful and engaging IMO. It might sound silly, but even in the physical book reviews, seeing Ben's hand movements and gestures makes me engage more with what's on screen. It's a small thing, but the videos benefit from it.

No you do not! I recommend them for ship combat, but they are not required.

Honestly very creative layouts like mork borg are only doable when there's a small page # if you get into more lengthy gamebooks like Zweihänder then it would be not only exhausting to work on each page and come up with something fresh on every spread but it will take the designer a long time to finish. Probably 6 month to a year. Pirate Borg does seems to improve the messy layout that is Mork Borg. Granted the original book looks fun and cool but it's hard to read.

Thou dost, oh god that bugs me

That should be "thou". They need an English language editor.

Since you pronounce Mork Borg as "Murk Burg" shouldn't you then pronounce Pirate Borg as "Pirate Burg"?

Mörk Borg translated is dark castle. so.. Pirate Borg translated is pirate castle? I understand trying to tie the product together but the name is just kinda dumb from a literal standpoint.

@gaminggroup764

It can loosily translate to any sort of foritified structure. Castle, fort, stronghold, etc... So this could be Pirate Fort. But yeah... it could have a better name. Maybe Kraken Borg, or Dodens Hav Borg, meaning Oceans of Death Castle.

The funniest thing about these games is that pirate code forbids women onboard! This one is just another curse of the black pearl ripoff
