Diseases of The Dark Caribbean
Concept: New Rules for Diseases to augment the existing Pirate Borg rules.
Content: Diseases of The Dark Caribbean contains infection rules, lore and dire consequences for each of the 17 most feared infections that a pirate could get and 3 lucky days. (Also recently updated to add in a Spread on Medicines of The Dark Caribbean as well)
Writing: Written with a leaning towards the comically macabre. It is concise and to the point with each entry.
Art/design: At first glance the artwork in this is very Pirate Borg, however it is overshadowed with the sheer intensity of the colours chosen and the layout of each Disease/Medicine is so tightly packed as to make the document difficult to read in many instances. Stylistically it is impressive but functionally difficult.
Usability: If you want to add some more meat to the bones of the Infection rules presented in the Core Rules then this Supplement will provide you with a wealth of information ready to use.

La Mulata
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.
Art/design: Using a deceptively simple and yet somehow evocative art style, La Mulata is actually a lot of fun to read with several small map locations and interesting use of design to draw the eye to the content.
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.
