I share my review of the horror, pirate, fantasy roleplaying game PIRATE BORG from Limithron and Free League Publishing. Theis rules light roleplaying game provides everything you need to set sail upon the Dark Caribbean to take on the Royal Navy AND the denizens of Davy Jones’ locker. The A5 sized hardcover arrives in stores on September 19th.
Summary
As someone who's not much of a fan of a lot of the Artpunk RPG movement out there I was very pleasantly surprised by PIRATE BORG. By far, in my opinion, this is the best of the
three core BORG games published to date by Free League Publishing. The focus here is on fun and there are so many great tools for GMs to create their very own spooky sea tales.
PIRATE BORG also contains one of the absolute best introductory adventures I've ever seen in a core rulebook.
