Once in Freeport, they went through the Freeport Trilogy followed by Goodman Games' Bloody Jack's Gold and then Vengeance in Freeport. That branch started in 3E and ended in Castles & Crusades. After saving Freeport -- again -- in Vengeance, they reunited with the rest of the crew and are all-in on the apocalyptic 5E Ptolus-set back half of the campaign. I used the systemless Pirates Guide to Freeport, which I strongly recommend. And Bloody Jack's Gold is fine, but not amazing -- very skippable, even independent of their weird behavior this year.I haven't run a full Pirate Borg campaign yet, just one shots, but once the Dark Caribbean setting book is out, I'm planning on running a West Marches style game there, presumably starting in 2027.</blockquote>
