Classes

Accursed Deck Scum

Concept: Accursed Deck Scum features four new, cursed classes for Pirate Borg.

Content:

The oracular Abyssal Lookout, who can't help but gaze into the Abyss...
The Living Figurehead, a poor victim whose suffering magically benefits the ship when lashed to the prow. Part of the ship, part of the crew, indeed...
The Penitent Fowler—the moron that shot the albatross! Inspired by Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
...and the Werebeast, cursed to rampage on nights of the full moon.

Writing: Well written throughout and easily understood. Excellent thought has been given to each Class and it's accompanying Abilities.

Art/design: Impressive use of Artwork to represent each Class is well placed with clear fonts and colour choices to accentuate the whole.

Usability:  If your Players are yearning for more Classes to sink their teeth in to then this offering is worth the time to digest and see if it might fit your current Campaign. Every Class is unique and carries its own merits.

Band O' Misfits

Concept: Three new Classes for Pirate Borg
 
Content: Three new Classes to add to your adventures in The Dark Caribbean. The Mess, The Barnacle, and The Sulphur

Writing: Some typos slipped through the editing on this supplement and the grammar is a touch off in places.  Thematically however, definite Pirate Borg 'feel'.

Art/design: Clever layouts and solid art choices abound in this supplement save for the first entry, the worn canvas background is a bit too prominent where it needs to get out of the way to make the Text easier to discern.

Usability: These are off the beaten path styles of Classes for those who want something a little less pointed in their Pirate. Definitely well detailed enough to get you an interesting Character to set sail with!

Bitter Blackleg

Concept: A new Class for Pirate Borg

Content: One Page Spread of a new Class called the Bitter Blackleg

Writing: Quite brief, leaving the development of the Character entirely to the Player, Class Abilities are all well thought out and work well with the core concept.

Art/design: Limited artwork but very well laid out and designed to make it quite easy to use.

Usability: Likely a good addition to the Class Roster for anyone who wants to play something of a scoundrel style of pirate.

Buried at Sea

Concept: Four new Classes to bring to The Dark Caribbean
 
Content: Welcome four new crewmates aboard your ship, damned and blessed in equal measure. New classes contained within these soggy pages:
  • Mutant Champion: A killer "rewarded" for its ferocity with a monstrous form
  • Holy Diver: A deep sea diver festooned in holy relics
  • Sea Witch: A sorcerer whose magic is strongest at sea
  • Devil Dealer: A collector of souls and wielder of hellish gifts
 
Writing: Written in thematic fashion to highlight each Classes features.

Art/design: Largest highlight of this Product, the Artwork sells these Classes every bit as much as the Rules.
 
Usability: Easily inserted into any existing Pirate Borg Campaign, well balanced overall. If you need/want a little 'new blood' in your Campaign look to this supplement.

Devilsworn Bastards

Concept: Two new Character Classes for Pirate Borg
 
Content: Two new Classes: The Powder Monkey Tamer & Mammon's Mutineer

Writing: Both Classes are well written and clearly presented.

Art/design: Some problematic Font and colour combinations make this a little hard on the eyes from time to time, however the artwork itself is well done and edited.

Usability: Two more esoteric Class options to consider for your Campaign. Quite powerful and will require some balance adjustments perhaps, to make them fit with the Core Classes in the Pirate Borg Rulebook.

Drowned Shantyman

Concept: Weave magical songs and wield the power of the sea with this unique class.

Content: Rules for creating your very own Drowned Shantyman for Pirage Borg.

Writing: As the title suggest this supplement is well written in the Pirate Borg style to allow you to create your own new Character.

Art/design: Artwork and layout are very much on theme for this offering. Easily read and used on a convenient spread. Beautiful complimentary colours throughout.

Usability: If you have a Player who is keen to try something akin to a Bard in other games, then this Class may very well be for them! It would also make a very interesting NPC should you need an entertainer with something more than a penchant for songs.

Outkast Man-Atee

Concept: There are many possible origins for the Man-atee. A tough yet slow and wise character class, sure to spice up any game group. Do not disturb these beautiful creatures in real life, as there are huge fines and jail time associated with it.

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 have a Player with a desire for an Aquatic Mutant Character this should appeal to them.

Scrimshaw

Concept: Four brand new Classes for use in Pirate Borg

Content: 

  • The Angler, a former fisherman turned pirate. Unlike their rowdy compatriots, they have the patience and skill to successfully reel up fish from the inky depths in which they dwell.
  • The Coagulant, a horrific nightmare altered by alchemy gone wrong. To survive, they must fuse their body with that of another, subsuming flesh and bone into themselves to once again become whole.
  • The Reaper, heavily inspired by DEADBOLT from Hopoo Games, the other game with a drug called ash that comes from the corpses of undead. They are skilled assassins and hunters of the damned.
  • The Shipwright, an on-board mechanic to keep boats going through constant wear-and-tear. Their specialized skills let them both repair and modify ships with everything from hull-smashing cannons to wheels.
 
Writing: As one might expect the writing of these Classes is excellent, so much so that this product one the Cabin Fever Game Jam award for Best PC Class.

Art/design: Simply incredibly thematic choices for both art and layout were made in the crafting of this remarkable supplement. It is pleasing to the eye, exceedingly mindful of the setting and a joy to read.

Usability: Any or all of these Classes could be seamlessly added to any Pirate Borg game without worry about Rules Balance which is something often on the mind of any Harbourmaser.

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.
