Concept: A ship and her crew for use with Pirate Borg

Content: La Mulata contains the titular Ship and a small Crew which she carries along with inspiration for what the ship carries, where she might go and so forth.

Writing: La Mulata is a breath of fresh air in written form. Thematically an excellent work with that perfect meeting of design and function.

Usability: How often have you had a Crew find a harbour and say "What ships are in port?" and you scramble for ideas on the fly? Well La Mulata takes one entry off that list and even comes with a small crew should your Players want to interact with someone other than "Generic Pirate B" Simple motives and several hooks allow you to drop La Mulata anywhere and have it be effective.

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.

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.

Product Link: Itch.io Page

Content: Everything you might need to play as a Man-Atee Character.
 
Writing: Very bare bones, a simple Character Class
 
Art/design: Lovely Man-atee artwork dominates this entry, unfortunately the Background clutters the text of the entry quite a bit.

Usability: If you play Pirate Borg long enough.. someone discovers Bombs and then the world changes. This supplement gives you a Class to use with that person, the Powder Monkey. Alongside it.. if you have ever wanted to begin as a Privateer, well then this is definitely the Class for you with a very unique and engaging twist as you level up!

Concept: Two Table Generators for Pirate Borg
 
Content: Two extensive tables, one for generating a randomized mission for your players and the other a table to plague your players with a calamity.
 
Writing: Both sets of tables are excellently detailed and very well written in precise formats and with the ubiquitous Pirate Borg feel.

Art/design: Unfortunately low resolution on the background images takes away from the presentation of this product, as does the font size and colour choices on the Random Mission Table (remedied by scaling the page size up on the document). However the Calamities Table is much more easily read.

Usability: As any Harbourmaster worth their salt knows, there will be times when you just need to let the dice decide where your creativity gets directed. This supplement allows you to do that without repetition for quite some time and yields excellent results. As a Harbourmaster Prep tool I would recommend this one without reservation.

May they not be too greedy...

 
Content: Five unique Relics with which to reward or torment your Crew.

Writing: Based on Lithuanian lore these items are all fascinating the writing/rules created for them are equally so.
 
Art/design: Perhaps the only detriment to this product is the Layout and Font selections.. it is not very easy to read this product in some areas due to art and layout selections.
 
Usability: Every Harbourmaster wants to have their Crew pick up interesting loot and these Relics all fit that bill perfectly. Your Players will never forget getting these truly unique items.

Product Link: Itch.io Page

Product Link: Itch.io Page

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. 

Product Link: Itch.io Page

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.

Concept: A four-minute stop-motion music video of the original sea shanty called So Many Ways to Die based on the Pirate Borg universe of the Dark Caribbean.

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!

Concept: A new Class for Pirate Borg

Content: Everything you need to start your adventure as a Drunken Fighter.

Writing: An interesting and well balanced Class, a bit of a throwback to classic Drunken Master-esque movies and other hollywood tropes. Not weighed down overmuch with background, it is a bit of a relief that the Class is left for the Player to make their own as the Classes in the Core Book also do.

Art/design: Artwork is well refined, layout is excellent and easy to access quickly.

Usability: Toning back the overt mysticism this Class make quality use of existing Rules and slightly expands on them in a well balanced way.

Usability: Every Harbourmaster eventually stumbles into the 'trap' of trying to come up with compelling or at the very least interesting Monsters to send against their players and this supplement hopes to alleviate some of that burden by brining you a host of Avatars and their abilities to confound your group. Certainly an excellent Generator Tool for any Temple crawling adventure.

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.

Product Link: Itch.io Page

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

Writing: Great care in the details has been taken by the author to bring forth a sense of deep atmosphere with this product. An impressive amount of world building has been packed in to this product in a very professional manner.
 
Art/design: Stylistically this product is a gem, Spread layouts are very reminiscent of the Pirate Borg core book and will be immediately recognized as an influence here. Every spread is laid out well with great care to font selection, colours and overall design to make this adventure a joy to read.

Usability: This adventure would be perfect for any Harbourmaster to slot in to their current campaign in the event of a shipwreck or other such occurrence and comes with everything you might need to run it effectively with little to no preparation beyond what is covered inside.

Concept: Ships and Crews have been going missing around the wayward Darmoth Isle. Will your crew be able to figure out the cause before its to late, or will you join the other departed.
 
 Content: A low to mid level adventure designed for Pirate Borg.
 
 Writing: Very well written, easily followed and properly conceived.

Art/design: Artwork is clear, somewhat rudimentary but extremely easy to use/understand. Layout could certainly use some work in the way of content breaks or Title bars, but again, it does not detract from the usefulness overmuch. Lacking in polish perhaps, but still a gem.

Usability: This is an excellent mystery adventure if your Players are up for that sort of thing. If they happen not to be, it is easy enough to make some slight alterations and use it for another purpose. Quite a lot of information is presented for you to make use of!

Product Link: Itch.io Page

Concept: Embark with a treasure map to El Dorado, guiding adventurers through the lush, untamed jungles of Colombia on a hex crawl to uncover the legendary City of Gold. As they delve into the city's ancient secrets, players can choose to unravel its cursed history or solely amass the fabled treasure. Yet, an insidious curse lies in wait, gradually taking hold of their minds. Eventually, they must confront the malevolent force of The Blood Red Gold of El Dorado, realizing that their obsession with the treasure may come at a perilous cost.

Content: An Adventure for a more seasoned Pirate Crew, replete with Maps both keyed and not, and a large variety of locales to explore. Intended for an extended stay this Hex Crawl carries a great deal of meat on its bones.

Writing: This Adventure is well written and easy to adapt to any existing Campaign and is blessedly HyperLinked if you are you using the PDF.

Art/design: Perhaps the sole shortfall of this offering is the aesthetic value of its layout. Of particular note is a remarkable Hex Map of the area that seems to be unfortunately 'squished' to fit the page. Other than that a rather plain font choice, while legible, is a bit jarring an experience in a Pirate Borg product. However the artwork itself is excellent on most every count.

Usability: This Adventure would be an excellent locale to explore for any properly experienced group of Pirates. Intended for a longer stay and more of an overland adventure than is typical of Pirate Borg. With a little effort to flesh out some of the random locations the Map alone would make this an must have.

Product Link: The Curse of El Dorado (Abridged)

Concept: Dungeon Crawl Adventure for Pirate Borg

Content: This mini-adventure contains the basic setting of one location with a few game tables, puzzles, awesome opponents, treasures and artifacts.

Writing: Writing for The Dark Column is absolutely packed with detail, depth and creativity to draw in any group.

Art/design: Original artwork and maps abound in this offering, the layout is crisp and engaging to the eye and the imaginational in turn. Colours are well chosen and used effectively to drive your attention to the correct areas of the page on every spread.

Usability: This adventure could easily be a starting point, albeit a fairly brutal one, to any group. I would suggest it more as a transition piece if you wanted to sit back and let your players do their thing and base your future games on their choices. The Dark Column is definitely packed with enough detail to keep your Players engaged for several sessions while you decide where to take them when they conclude this adventure.

Usability: If you happen to have exhausted the existing Sentient Animals in Pirate Borg and what to try something quite unique then this Class is sure to meet that need.

Concept: ASH infused Tattoos!

Content: 

Writing: A wonderfully thematic and elegantly simple set of Rules
 
Art/design: Quite well laid out with nicely spaced tables and charts to roll on. Very little clutter.

Usability: It is rare to find a Pirate without a tattoo of some description and in the world of The Dark Caribbean it is entirely likely that someone would eventually want to experiment with ASH. This little standalone takes that work off the shoulders of any Harbourmaster who might need it.

Content: Everything you need to set up an Adventure to hunt down the Undead Captain Morgan. Also included are instructions on how to set up the Game Map using a deck of Standard Cards, how to use the included tables to create your own Adventure for use with a group.

Included instructions on how to take the contents of the Adventure and turn them into Setting useful things for your own Dark Caribbean game add to the overall usefulness of this Product.
 
Art/design: Art is minimal throughout and used to great effect in the manner of illustrating the concepts that are provided to lessen confusion of the intended mechanics.
