Always great to have you aboard, shipmate 😁 Pirate Borg really feels like a game plus several supplements in one book. I'm so glad Mörk Borg has proved so popular and I hope Pirate Borg gives the system a broader appeal.

I can see PB really taking off, since it's a little less extreme than MB.

I didn’t back this, but I am loving the restraint applied to the art, design and layout as compared to Mork Borg. I enjoy the style in the original but it does make it hard to actually use/reference the rules. It seems like Pirate Borg kept the spirit of the design but toned it down a little bit to increase the usability

Perfect thing to watch as I go through my Chessex Pound of Dice order lol

I initially purchased the book and cards because the art work is amazing. Thats what sold me on the purchase to begin with but after receiving it i can honestly say i love everything about it. One of the best purchases i’ve made.

I'm usually not a pirate theme fan but you got me onboard with this one!! I'll try to get a copy of this one! I have Corpswake Cove (which is fun) but this one seems next level!! Thank you for this review and now on to watch your game !

Pirate Borg is a way more complete package than I was expecting and I'm glad to see it here. I happened upon it by complete accident and I wonder if I've missed any other Mork Borg related books that have a comparable amount of content and work put into it.

All of the larger Forbidden Pslam books are great. Packed with stuff. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yn5619qpg6nPfNI.html I would argue that a lot of the MB stuff has a lot of work put into it, though. Things like Feratory and Heretic are just overflowing with cool stuff.

Nice! Still live in the area?

I didn’t really take to Mork Borg but this looks pretty cool. Great review Daniel!

So… I’ve been trying out some solo rpgs to see if something sticks. For sidequest decks, I noticed the books already references deep ones and shoggoths, so picked up the Sidequest Lovecraftian/Cthulhu deck as well. (Also, it seems creatively easier by defaulting to Cthulhu monsters sounds easier.) I also have leftover dice from Too Many Bones. I got rid of TMB a long time ago, but I kept the dice. There has to be a way to create a “momentum” system with the dice. Maybe augment the combat or spellcasting. Rolling “bones” seems to fit thematically.

The well aligned layout of things on the mat makes my OCD happy

that art work though. I don't even know what to say to express how cool. Thanks for the vid!

I literally just watched your Solitary Defilement vid last night because I was looking to see how I might play Pirate Borg solo. I have Mork, Pirate, and Cy and I thin Pirate is the vibe I like the best. Easily the best form vs function balance of the three.

It’s a fantastic book.

I believe Limithron (the creator of Pirate Borg) will be kickstarting a separate book for the Dark Caribbean campaign setting. I know it will be for Pirate Borg and for 5E but I don't know if the separate game systems will have their own versions of the campaign book or if it will just all be contained within the same book. That might be a newer development since this video came out.

Thank you so much for the glowing review! I might have to try playing Pirate Borg solo now...

The tone of this setting clicks with me in a way that Mork Borg just doesn't. Backed the pdf but will definitely be picking up a physical copy. This thing looks beautiful!

@TheDungeonDive

Жыл бұрын

It does have a great tone.

I do love the system, I only wish the naval combat was explained better, or that something "theater of the mind" could be offered in place of it. The Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPG has a pretty good miniatures agnostic way of doing space combat, so I feel like something like that could be adapted.

@TheDungeonDive

Жыл бұрын

I have a feeling I'll be truncating a lot of the naval combat, as I won't normally be playing with a whole crew.

Bought Pirate Borg at a pirate festival. Very glad I did this system is amazing. I'm particular about naval combat systems since some get very complex and are too much for a ttrpg crossover. Others are so simple I feel I need to add rules to get strategic aspects such as wind. Pirate Borg hit it just right.

And I thought Mork Borg was a unique setting - this seems to dial it up even more! Some of the art looks to be reminiscent of Darkest Dungeon (to my amateur eyes). Was not expecting the Inkwell materials - I love their stuff too.

I got really lucky with that box set. I was a backer of the original on KS, and got that. Then when Max Moon announced the box set version (which is exactly the same, just with some slightly better printing), I thought it was cool, but way too expensive. However, due to a logistical error, Max Moon accidentally sent me one along with an order I had placed. He said to just keep it.

Looked into getting it but Backerkit wants me to pay shipping twice (Base and Regular...huh?) so the $40 book would add another $40 in shipping...ugh. That is piracy for sure! Heh heh...I guess I'll wait to pick it up elsewhere... thanks anyway for showing off the gorgeous book!

I backed this. I never play RPG but it looked cool and I though it may be fun to try the naval battles in the future, maybe even solo with the hexmap.

Considering this but for it to work does it require solitary defilement?
