Adventures

Ecclesiastical de Ultima Spe

Concept: In the heart of a dense jungle, shrouded in the veils of mist and whispered secrets, stands an ancient Spanish chapel. Its weathered stone walls, etched with the tales of centuries past, remain untouched by the relentless passage of time. There is an aura, a palpable presence that lingers around it, unseen but deeply felt. A force, mysterious and enigmatic, repels any undead who dare to draw near. The surrounding wilderness, once teeming with life, now bows in reverence, keeping a respectful distance from this sanctum of silence.

Content: A full monastery adventure hidden in a jungle setting, completely keyed maps, encounters all fully detailed with a few interesting mechanics added in for good measure. Also contains separate Files for Map Handouts for the Players.

Writing: Great effort has been taken to invest the Players in to this Setting and inform the Harbourmaster as well so that both can get maximum enjoyment out of this entry. All writing is clear and to the point, exposition is interesting without being 'too much'.

Art/design: Beautiful art and font selections lend themselves quite well to the colour choices and physical layout throughout.

Usability: Any jungle in The Dark Caribbean could be home to this adventure, barring that it would be a great introduction to a Dark Yucatan setting.

Content: This adventure module features detailed maps, new enemies, NPCs, and additional tables for your Pirate Borg playing experience.  

Writing: In keeping with the spirt of Pirate Borg this adventure/location is very well written in a short form factor, all language is clear and flows well. Quite an engaging read.
 
Art/design: Wonderful layout with some genuinely unique artwork sprinkled throughout. Very little space is left unfilled with content, colour selection and font sizes are all in keeping with the concept and easily legible

Usability: This is a great Adventure for getting your pirates off the ship for a while and it packed with interesting tables, creatures and plot options not to mention a series of memorable NPCs and Creatures.

It also comes with several new Maps for your Pirates to explore in both Keyed and Un-keyed styles for those that wish to offer Player Handouts or use them on a VTT.

Taken from Drive Thru RPG:

Embark on a quest that transcends time itself with "Legend of Starfall Isle," the inaugural installment in our Treasure Map Series. In the cryptic echoes of history, Starfall Isle emerges, a realm cloaked in the enigmatic aura of forgotten epochs. Here, within the cosmic tapestry, the legendary Aetherblade awaits – a sword forged in the crucible of a celestial cataclysm, shattering the very heavens.

Key Features:

  • Mystical Quest: Uncover the secrets of Starfall Isle, guided by weathered maps and a journal that chronicles the discovery of the island's hidden wonders. Explore the Astral Nexus, a dungeon on windswept plateau where the Aetherblade, a weapon of untold might, found its sanctuary.

  • Diverse Maps: Navigate the high seas  and decipher the clues of a nautical map, follow a meticulously detailed treasure map leading to the Astral Nexus, engage in a thrilling boss battle on a comprehensive battle map of the island in Crater Lake, and descend into the depths of the Astral Nexus with a detailed dungeon map.

  • Unique Enemies and Bosses: Confront otherworldly adversaries and formidable bosses that guard the secrets of Starfall Isle. From astral revenants to eldritch treants, each encounter promises a unique challenge that will test the mettle of even the most seasoned adventurers.

  • Hex Crawling and Dungeon Crawling Rules: Experience the excitement of exploration with rules for hex crawling, navigating the unpredictable astral currents, and dungeon crawling, delving into the mysteries of the Astral Nexus with every step.

Whether you're a seasoned game master or a group of adventurers setting sail for the first time, "Legend of Starfall Isle" promises a tabletop experience that blends high fantasy, cosmic horror, and nautical pirate adventure. Will you uncover the secrets of the Astral Nexus, or will the mysteries of Starfall Isle remain shrouded in the mists of time? The legend is yours to unfold.

Writing: LoSI is easily formatted for reading with properly delineated Sections to guide you as the Harbourmaster. It is also presented with specific entries to assist the HM in conveying Scenes and Settings while also offering the HM ideas on how to interact with the group should they need it. Included is a Bestiary of new Creatures for your Pirates to Encounter as well!  Additionally there are new Rules for a Harbourmaster to explore with a Section relating to Madness (a topic that is relevant to this Adventure in particular) as well as a potential new game mechanic for training or levelling up and more information about Dungeon and Hex Crawls are also provided. 
 
Art/design: Artistically the Adventure is well provided for, all of the Maps offered are of excellent quality and potential Player Handouts should not be difficult or taxing to most any home printer. LoSI has a beautiful cover piece that is quite eye catching. Perhaps the only mis-step in the Product is the formatting of the Beastiary section as it is occasionally not conducive to easy reading with Page Breaks interrupting the flow here and there.

Usability: Definitely a solid adventure for a Pirate Crew to embark upon that will provide you with a significant number of Game Sessions to fully explore. Should the forthcoming portions of this Series be of the same quality then this would make a fine Epic Quest for a Pirate Crew to set sail for.

Loathridge Cay

Concept: It is rumored that a hoard of wealth was being laundered through the Dark Caribbean on a cruise ship filled to the brim with the most elite families of London. You've sighted a ship marooned on a volcanic island that appears to match the description of the cruise ship, though there appears to be a group of zombies dancing on its main deck and the beach is overrun with skulls that are walking around. You are confident you could stand a chance, if it weren't for the smoke that has just started to rise from the peaks of the volcanic ridges that divide the island.
 
Content: Contains everything you need to run the adventure with keyed maps and handouts.

Writing: Unfortunately poor grammar dots the entry but does not make the product unusable, tongue in cheek to be sure as a concept.

Art/design: No artwork present in the Adventure itself, however the three included maps are well done. Layout of the Adventure itself is clean, however there remains quite a lot of negative blank space on some pages.

Usability: If you want to have your crew enjoy a little silly fun (that can still be dangerous at many points) this Adventure is ideally suited for that.

Long Pig

Concept: An Island adventure of porcine delight
 
Content: A short form adventure on an island overrun with feral swine.

Writing: Well written, at once horrifying and a little silly with dark undertones.

Art/design: Excellent use of Public Domain and Stock Artwork, colour choices are perfect and fonts are well used in this entry.

Usability: When your Crew has perhaps gotten a little too big for their 'britches' this Adventure would be a fun interlude to remind them that even the more simple beasts of The Dark Caribbean can be a mighty threat!

Meanwhile... Somewhere, Deep in the Dark Caribbean

Concept: Solo Micro Dungeon Crawl
 
Content: Meanwhile presents a Solo Dungeon Crawl using a Standard deck of 52 Cards as your decision maker in both dungeon design and content.
 
Writing: Throughout this supplement the writing is very consistent and leaves the user with enough room for interpretation while still setting a solid mood/theme.
 
Art/design: Artwork is solid throughout and minimalist for the most part provided by the Author, Aaron Best with some photography by Bill North
 
Usability: Meanwhile is a great way for anyone who wants to enjoy some rum soaked adventure in the Pirate Borg setting to do so without need to find a group. Cards provide enough randomization for several adventures and could even then be used to run that same adventure for a Group with the created assets.

Misery's Keep

Concept: Board the Misery's Keep and prevent a sinister ritual from being completed.
Content: Two Pages in length this adventure takes place entirely on board the Misery's Keep and does require access to the Mork Borg Core Rulebook briefly (or a clever GM can adapt the needs to Pirate Borg fairly easily)

Usability: If you want to take a step away from content creation and be able to just step in to a fully realized Campaign start then this Product is an excellent addition. Likewise, if you want to delve in to creating your own Setting/Campaign to place in The Dark Caribbean I would highly recommend taking notes from this Product.

Never Meet Your Maker

Concept: People are missing at Port Mason, home of a defunct ash refinery. Is it the corrupt Governor? Or perhaps the ghost of old Eli Cunningham. Maybe it's just the landmine crabs taking their victims. There are sinister activities afoot and secrets to be told. Or taken to the grave...

Content: A full adventure locale with Maps, NPCs and Encounter information.

Writing: Very well written with just enough depth to bring the location to proper life.

Art/design: Limited artwork but what is present is exceptional. Layout is fairly simple but is just enough to add to the whole. Could do with some more Area separation but that is a minor detail at best.

Usability: Thankfully Port Mason can exist almost anywhere you need it to and that makes it invaluable to a Harbourmaster who needs a Port in a hurry! Add in the detail of the location and it is a dream supplement for any Harbourmaster who hasn't the time to generate an entire region.

One Night in Tortuga

Concept: In this adventure, the player characters (PCs) will navigate the treacherous streets of Tortuga in search for the infamous pirate, Michel de Grammont. Finding this buccaneer is only half the trouble. Then they must decide his fate and survive the repercussions of their decisions.
 
Content: Everything you might need to run your Crew through Tortuga, Maps, Npcs, Tables for Encounters and Rumors, Player Handouts and instructions on how to play the Adventure as a Campaign addition or a One Shot.

Usability: Every Pirate wants to go to Tortuga at some point in their career, this adventure serves its purpose without also leaving a Crew with no clear goals and an entire city to explore. As an Introduction to Tortuga one could hardly ask for better.

Ponce de Leon & The Fountain of Youth

Concept: Maps have been found that contain mention of the legendary Fountain of Youth, will you find it? or be added to the legend of its mystery?
Content: Coming in at a robust 42 pages, this adventure contains everything you will need to bring your Players on a quest to locate the Fountain of Youth. Contains 9 Maps, 8+ new NPCs, 20+ new Creatures to challenge your pyrates and the details you will need to bring it to life. 
Writing: As is expected from Galactic Funk Creations, this Adventure is laid out in an easy to read format for any Harbourmaster, the story is presented in a manner that allows for ease of use and eschews the use of excessive text in an effort to get to the 'meat' of the gameplay. Storywise it is an engaging adventure for any group of pyrates and will provide many Sessions of play for an invested group. This is the Second offering in the Series of Treasure Map releases with Legend of Starfall Isle being the first in the Series.
Art/design: Galactic Funk Creations has a unique style that borrows the harsh yellows of Mork Borg. If there was any criticism to offer it would be with regards to Page Layout. In an effort to provide a clean and tidy look that is easy to read there have been concessions to Pages overlapping when it comes to Charts such as the Easy & Hard Monster Tables that are included. There are some clear influences of other rulesets that have been woven in to the adventure but they are hardly obtrusive. 
Usability: This adventure is an investment for your Group that is certain. There is more than enough content here to keep a Group busy for several Sessions of gameplay and makes an excellent moving on point for a crew that has a few levels under their belts. It would be very easy to 'seed' the Player handout maps in to an existing Campaign as a current Adventure is concluding in order to seamlessly bring Ponce de Leon & The Fountain of Youth in to the forefront. All in all a worthy Supplement for any Pirate Borg table.

Concept: This supplement for Pirate Borg contains several random tables and one small island-crawl for you to insert into your pirate adventures.

Writing: This product is jam packed with content and all of it is expertly presented to be of maximum use.

Art/design: Special attention has been given to selection of complimentary colours and styles with minimal artwork present allowing for some very Pirate Borg layout choices.

Usability: Rough Seas is a veritable treasure for any Harbourmaster. Tables for every occasion and they are all well conceived to boot. Certainly worth the addition to your Harbourmaster collection!

San Martín de la Astilla

Concept: A pamphlet with a full playable location and adventure for Pirate Borg. You can use it to spice things up on your island and/or main adventure or as a quick one-shot for your crew of outcast pirates in the Dark Caribbean!

San Martín de la Astilla, an old Spanish misión, still clings to existence, its bare stone bones claim to the sky.

Gossip and tales in every wrenched tavern of nearby ports whispers of an old relic brought here by the Spaniards. A detachment of monks and a few conquistadores arrived here long ago, never to be seen again.

Now, your ash-deprived minds and bodies are here, in front of the ancient building traversed by a gargantuan tree of no name.

You can also play it using Mork Borg (although the creatures appear in the Pirate Borg rulebook), because... Maybe some islands lurk in The Endless Sea full of strange places and treasures like this one.

Content:
PDFs: $1.99 USD or more

Cost & Finances

If any of us should be paid for creating this game this is, roughly, the amount. If we had written this for others we'd ask for around 120 USD. Editing, map creation, and final touches might be another 100 USD... So that makes a 220 USD cost to make this game. If we sell it at its price we would need to sell 110 copies to cover the basics of it. So be a good pirate and share with your fellows!!!!

We think it's important to talk about how much it takes to create something. We want you to know it!

Support this adventure at or above a special price point to receive something exclusive.

Scapegallows Pirate Borg/Pendagli da forca ITA - ENG

Concept: Scapegallows is an adventure for level 1 Pirates.
Content:
  • 1 session of about 3 hours with a scenario large enough to allow players maximum mobility and 2 structured endings 
  • 3 NPCs complete with statistics.
Writing: In Nassau, there is a bar carved out of an old beached brigantine, called the "Scapegallows". Inside, some of the worst pirates spend their free time between raids, under the benign but firm gaze of Derrick "Good Eye", a retired pirate with a wooden leg.
Everything seems to be going smoothly until the peace of the free city is disturbed by an unexpected merchant ship.

Shades of Bleakheart

Concept: A three-part adventure for a crew of scurvy pirates.  The legend of Mavis Bleakheart says she amassed more loot than the Spanish Armada could carry in a year.  But most prized is the fabled Spectral Saber – an ancient relic to make any pirate a king.  The crew have found information pointing to the location of her hideout.  But beware, tavern tales say the island is haunted.

Content: Three entries for One, a Naval Battle, an Island Adventure and a Cave Crawl to round it all out. Maps and Encounter Keys are provided for all.
 
Writing: Nicely written and easily understood, language and grammar are excellent.

Art/design: A touch on the simplistic side but it does not take away from the content in the slightest, solid colour choices do well to accentuate the content and Artwork/Map placements are clear as well as effective.

Usability: Something for everyone in this entry. Taken in parts it is an effective tool for an adventure of any type with no specific order of use required.

Shanties of the Sargasso

Concept: Bermuda is awash with choking sargassum. The dead rise from its tangles. A patch of seaweed and flotsam drifts westward, carrying the broken ships of the damned.  Between the lapping waves one can hear their mournful dirges, the Shanties of the Sargasso.
 
Content: Shanties of the Sargasso includes setting information on Bermuda (now the Isle of Devils), a new class, new monsters, and an ASH-laden adventure atop a cluster of shipwrecks tangled up among the sargassum. It's replete with two-faced devils who smoke tobacco from their rear ends, living seaweed bursting from beneath the surface of the water, and all manner of depravity.

Writing: Shanties is superb in its writing, exceptionally engaging content.

Art/design: Embracing a more Mork Borg aesthetic with a Pirate Borg colour palette, the layout and font selection is beautiful despite the raucous amount of colour and stylized layout it works perfectly well and is remarkably easy to read/navigate.

Usability: Whether it is for the Adventure alone or the new Ash Dealer class, this Supplement is well worth the addition to your Pirate Borg Library. It epitomizes the Third Party license beautifully.

Shipwrecked!

Concept: Your crew is marooned on a sun-drenched shore amidst the wreckage of their Ship, how will you survive?!
 Content: An A3 size Page containing the Adventure with a supplemental A4 size Page containing a Map of the Island and the Caves it contains
 Writing: Shipwrecked! has almost an old school Choose your Own Adventure sort of feel to it, with multiple starting options and an open ended process to allow the Players to make their way on this uncharted Island. References to the Core Book are well marked as are the HM Tips that are seeded throughout the Adventure.
Art/design: Shipwrecked! is laid out in a 'Found Book' format and the Art definitely backs up that aesthetic several interesting pieces are present in the Adventure and thankfully are also available in a second PDF File for ease of use or possibly to hand out to the Players at some point. Definitely a nice touch.
 Usability: Shipwrecked! would be an excellent segue Adventure for an established group in order to move them to a new Adventuring locale of the GMs choosing and it would make a good Intro Level Adventure for a group who is more interested in Exploration. It certainly qualifies as a Sandbox arrangement and the Map allows for many other things to be added as needed should a HM need/want to.

Shrine of the Slithering Slumber

Concept: Shrine of the Slithering Slumber is an island-crawl for Pirate Borg.

Content: An extensive island crawl adventure locale in The Dark Yucatan, packed with encounter locations, rollable tables and all manner of new secrets to unearth all guarded by mysterious beasties!

Writing: Expertly done to say the least, this entire Adventure is so wonderfully well written that it is just plain fun to read it, never mind play it. All aspects of The Dark Yucatan feel well thought out and carry the right amount of weight for a largely unexplored region of The Dark Caribbean.

Art/design: Art and layout are amazing in this entry, from the variable shading of the backgrounds to allow for ease of reading and the subtle changes in font usage throughout to guide the readers eye to the correct areas on the page.

Usability: While it may be set in The Dark Yucatan this adventure is something that every Harbourmaster needs to find a way to bring their groups around to checking out. Plot hooks don't even feel like a hook, they effortlessly weave themselves in to the narrative. Even if you do not get it to the table you need to absorb this as it will uplift you in the role of Harbourmaster.

Silent Cove

Concept:  Silent Cove is a Pirate Borg adventure location, featuring an island covered in history and mystery, complete with a small dungeon hidden beneath its surface. Frequented by pirates trying to prevent their dead comrades from rising as an undead in the Dark Caribbean, the island met an unfortunate fate when a greedy pirate burned a priest living here alive, cursing the island and potentially the entire surrounding sea...
 
Content: This Ten Page Adventure is quite literally packed, featuring a Hex Crawl island with 5 Keyed Locations, a Ten Room Dungeon, Twenty Relics of various uses, Four NPCs, Four new Monsters, Eight Random Roll Tables to enhance your game and Two standalone VTT Ready Maps
 
Writing: Silent Cove is very well written and it shows in every line of text. Every entry is precise, every Description is exactly enough to evoke the necessary details without consuming space which has all been saved for its abundant content.
 
Art/design: Cohesive is hardly an effusive enough word for the layout, Art style and design in this product. As clean and attractive as Silent Cove is, I would also love to see this product receive a colour release at some point just to see where that might take the product even further.
 
Usability: Silent Cove is intended to be inserted in to an existing Pirate Borg Game as a Location, but it would easily be a great starting off point for a Crew as well. As it is jam packed with interesting Tables to make the entire area come alive the replay value for this product is extensive. There are amply Hooks and potential Campaign starts included within. This product is well worth your time to add to your Pirate Borg collection.

Spirits High Waters Deep

Concept: Hexcrawl your way across a re-usable Map fraught with Adventure and Peril!

Content: 6 Fully realized Rollable Tables, a Keyed overworld Map of the Region (with an option to download an UnKeyed version of the same). Three unique encounters to place as you wish.

Writing: Spirits High, Waters Deep is absolutely stuffed to the gills with content to enjoy. Clearly written with the Harbourmaster in mind it assumes a basic level of knowledge with the world of The Dark Caribbean and Pirate Borg but also provides handy page references for looking up Official Content. The sometimes irreverent style of the Author is a welcome addition as it puts you in a place of feeling as though you are speaking to a fellow Harbourmaster.

Art/design: Pulling from both Original and Public Domain sources all of the Artwork in this Adventure helps to set the tone quite well, what maps are included are blessedly clear and well done. In particular the Hex Map included is simply spectacular.

Usability: Spirits High, Waters Deep would be a great way to start off a Pirate Crew in The Dark Caribbean. Letting your players fill in the Hex Map and allowing you as a Harbourmaster to populate any content from other Adventures in to Blank Hexes as needed/desired. It is even suggested by the Author on several occasions!

The Amulet of Delgado

Concept: A grand treasure lies in wait on the other side of a portal but the Amulet of Delgado, the key to the opening the portal, has been sundered and its pieces lie scattered across the Caribbean. Many now seek to reunite the missing pieces and once again gain access to the treasures which lie beyond the portal. You are the crew of The Rusty Kraken and Captain Steelgrind has a proposal for you to aid him in recovering the lost pieces of the Amulet. But there are others who also seek this prize and time is of the essence..

Content: The Amulet of Delgado is the successor to the Authors previous work, The Treasure of Cutlass Cay, though it need not be played as such. Within its 26 pages a Harbourmaster will find everything they need to make this epic quest come to life for their Pirate crews. Six fully detailed NPCs all with VTT ready Tokens, four detailed Adventure locations which may be played in any order the Harbourmaster wishes as well as the penultimate location where the adventure concludes. Also included are visual aids for your Players, a 'blank' Amulet with all the various pieces available separately so that your Players can assemble their Amulet as they play.  

 Writing: The Amulet of Delgado is written in the spirit of Pirate Borg most assuredly. You are given the outline of a grand adventure and the tools to help you bring it to life for your Players without it bogging you down in unnecessary details. Harbourmasters are encouraged to adjust things to fit their group and link the various locations together in whichever way they see fit and the writing enables that by not overloading you with detail. Make no mistake, there is nothing missing from this Adventure other than the ingenuity of you and your Players.

Art/design: Artistically the Author maintains an aesthetic style throughout the Adventure which is refreshing and evocative of The Dark Caribbean, Character art is all entertaining and thematic to say the least. Maps are all well laid out, clearly keyed and referenced and each Location is kept to a 'spread' style ala Pirate Borg itself.

Usability: The Amulet of Delgado is not set to any one Location within The Dark Caribbean, or any specific world, and as such you can begin this Adventure anywhere you might wish to without hesitation. It is certainly suitable for use in a Crew of Levels three to six if you have already gone through The Treasure of Cutlass Cay.

The Barnacle Betsy

Concept: Adventure Location for Pirate Borg
 
 Content: An Adventure location of a shipwreck with a bit of treasure to be had for the daring.

Writing: This adventure is very well written, attention to detail abounds and the theme is kept strongly throughout.

Art/design: As with the prose itself the design of this Adventure is all about the Dark and scary aspects. Layout and Artwork both work hand in hand to give you the sense of eerie unknown.

Usability: This deceptively short and yet dangerous adventure is a great thing to tempt any Crew with. Short and to the point it can be quite lethal for the Crew should they miss some of the story prompts within.

The Bloody Bones of Hell's Wake

Concept: An island adventure on Hell's Wake Isle

Content: Sixteen pages of adventure, 8 unique Sites, 10 new NPCs and 10 Stat Blocks for new Enemies
