Pirate Borg general thread

I can't wait til my Down Among the Dead stuff comes. Got a lot of Pirate Borg goodies as well as dice.

Me too. I didn't get the screen or luck tokens, but now that I'm planning on running some games at my FLGS, I may order those after the rest of my stuff arrives.

Mike Shea spotlights Down Among the Dead.

Folks are getting their Down Among the Dead stuff now. Still no sign of mine, but looking forward to it.

I think the whole thing of "pay $1 ahead of time to get a free coin in the final shipment" might be put me in the slower fulfillment lane. I'm glad everyone seems to have dropped that model since.

Looking forward to a bunch of piratey goodness, especially as this year has turned out to be a tough one financially and I don't think I'm going to be able to responsibly back several of the current Pirate Borg campaigns that look enticing.

Listening to the latest Ship of the Dead podcast, it was wryly amusing to hear Luke get told, to his face, that Ravaged By Storms was created because the Pirate Borg campaign book wasn't out yet, and they needed to create a substitute version for themselves.

Luke said, as the person creating 100% or close to it of official Pirate Borg stuff, there's only so many hours in the day, which totally makes sense. It doesn't make me want the Dark Caribbean sourcebook any less, but I get that it's not something he can just bang out.

And given that he created Pirate Borg specifically to support the Dark Caribbean sourcebook, it's clear it's important to him to do this right.

I just got my stuff yesterday. Cabin Fever book, gigantic vinyl mat water hex pad, and cardboard pawn ship tokens. Everything's really great! Cabin Fever is already inspiring me.

Luke’s stuff is just great. Has a sense to it that I haven’t really seen from anyone else.

You'll have to let me know what you think when you get it. I've been eyeing the Foundry modules for the game, as well as his patreon, but haven't quite gotten myself to pull the trigger just yet.
