Pirate Borg -- any of you scurvy dogs have it?

They've just announced that they're kicking off a public game program starting, of course, on Sept. 19, the most important holiday of the year.

Does anyone know if the limited edition of Pirate Borg has the updated zombies page?

The Dark Carribean (where it is set) is being overrun by undead and monsters of the deep. Inevitably they will take over the whole area and there's no way to stop them.

By any chance, do they mention the real-life earthquake that destroyed most of Port Royal? That feels like a very gamable event to include.

No.

Not yet.

But I just got the limited edition signed copy reprint of Demon Dogs. Next up is Pirate Borg and Vast Grimm.

I picked it up in PDF last payday. I like it. It's the best systemic parts of Mork Bork without the graphic design of Mork Borg that made my eyes bleed (specifically, it lacks the yellow and neon pink design elements). I look forward to playing it.

Not yet but I intend too. I met the creator Friday night at GenCon and he is a pirate fan through and through.

I'm late to the parrrrrty here, but I'm thinking of checking out Pirate Borg. Mork Borg's subject and tone is a bit more than I'm interested in (I see plenty of badness in my day to day life, thanks), but Pirate Borg looks like it hits my sweet spot.

It’s my favorite dedicated pirate game, favorite iteration of the Borg system, and the most readable iteration of the Borg games.

What do you intend to do with the book?

Play the hell out of it. Such a great and evocative setting coupled with great rules.

Yes. It’s in the timeline. The Borg games have an end of the world calendar. There’s a few historical elements in there, like the earthquake.

Does it define what caused the earthquake? I'm thinking of running a Sept. 19 adventure that features the earthquake.

Oh. Road crew for Pirate Borg? Yes, please.
