Writing: An amazing amount of effort has been put in to this project and the writing does it full justice in every aspect.

Aleister and Artemis Wolf
Concept: Two NPCs and their Vessel for use with Pirate Borg
Content: This entry presents two? NPCs and the Vessel they command along with some roleplaying and motivation points for all of them.
Writing: Interestingly well written for an entry that provides two new NPCs. Not just Stat Blocks but also Rollable Tables for their Motivations and reactions with Players. Certainly more depth than is commonly presented in an NPC Entry.
Art/design: Artwork is well used throughout and the placement/use of Background imagery does well to compliment the content. Easy to read and make use of.
Usability: Beyond the norm for an NPC Entry this product also can act as something of an adventure hook in the same instance. If your Players have need of a temporary interlude between sessions this can certainly stand in for that, or as inspiration for you to flesh it out even further and make it your own.

Annihilation
Concept: You are the Captain of the Devil's ship, ANNIHILATION.

If you do not feed this monster, the demon crew will mutiny and drag your soul down to HELL where you will serve the Devil.....
Content: A truly wild ride aboard the Annihilation is presented herein with tables to roll on for all manner of strangeness, Contracts to be signed, consequences to be had and horrific crew to be created.
Writing: Unfortunately there are some obvious spelling issues littered throughout this product and while they do not alter the value of the content they are present nonetheless.
Art/design: Outrageous in the extreme and while it does great work to represent the supplement it makes a great deal of the content very hard to make sense of and leaves much of it less useful as a result.
Usability: If you want a horrifying interlude for your Crew this Supplement may be of use to you.. rules as written however, it is something of a one way trip as this Ship is more of a curse than anything else.

Content:
Within these blood stained pages you will find:
- An island location with plenty to keep your players, but plenty of room for you to expand it. Some questions are left unanswered by design.

Bottle Ship
Concept: Mutiny! Betrayal! Your former Helmsman has betrayed your Captain, who now hangs from the gallows, stolen your Ship and worse.. your share of the booty! You awaken hungover but thirsting for revenge if only you can find a new ship! Luckily there is a need for a crew on a Ship sailing for Navassa!
Content: Bottle Ship is a raucous Adventure on the island of Hispaniola, in the town of Tiburon and comes complete with a fully Keyed map of the town of Tiburon, as well as a fully Keyed map of the Temple located in the Mountains nearby. Also included are three new Creatures and five Random Tables for use however you might see fit.
Writing: Perhaps one of the most uniquely tongue in cheek writings thus far, Bottle Ship's creator, Sumire, has an irreverent sense of humour that really is used to excellent effect in this instance. Every entry is tightly written and contains exactly what is needed for a Harbourmaster to put their own life in to it.
Art/design: Sumire is not only the Author of Bottle Ship but it also the Artist as well, every Illustration and Map is done entirely by them and this lends the Adventure a very nice sense of cohesion. Maps are cleanly labeled and the Isometric view of the Temple is of great help when it comes to providing room Descriptions. Entirely done in Black and White means that this Adventure is also going to be quite Printer Friendly should you need/want to Print the Maps for table use.
Usability: Tiburon, as a Town, is a solid place for a pirate crew to find themselves and there is enough substance contained in this Adventure for a solid start to a longer Campaign or to follow on with what appears to be a forthcoming sequel. If you are struggling to find a way to begin a longer series of Adventures then Bottle Ship will certainly serve to either begin or add a properly detailed Port to your repertoire.

Depths Unwonted
Concept: In the aftermath of their most recent voyage the crew has discovered three Artifacts and learns they must be returned to their rightful places on three separate islands within seven days lest doom befall them!
Content: Fourteen Pages detailing the Relics, the Islands they must be returned to and the challenges each island will present to the Crew before they can succeed.
Writing: Depths Unwonted takes the less is more approach of writing in a format that lends urgency to the crews quest to avoid their 'unwonted' fate. Each spread represents a segment of the adventure in a brief style that doesn't bog down the gameplay.

Usability: Depths Unwonted would be a great adventure to spring on a group when they think they might be 'in the clear' after a previous one in a 'Just when you thought it was over!' style twist. Effort is made to keep it a small scale event within the writing and takes advantage of the 'Mystical' side of Pirate Borg in a great way.
