<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Avast ye, tabletop gamers, and embark on a swashbuckling fantasy with a Cyber Monday<\/a> sale from Limithron. Pirate Borg<\/a><\/em>, a standalone system based on Free League\u2019s M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em><\/a>, is a rules-lite game about being the most dastardly pirate to ever sail the seven seas, and the first printing of the Core Book is on sale for $34.99 (was $39.99). <\/p>\n

Through Cyber Monday, you can also pick up The Foundry virtual tabletop module<\/a> for $24.99 (was $29.99), alongside supplements like Buried in the Bahamas<\/a> ($14.98), The Battle of Dead Man\u2019s Cove<\/a> ($4.98), and a large collection of Pirate Borg<\/em> specific maps.<\/p>\n

Coming from the Old School Renaissance<\/a> style of tabletop gaming, the system focuses more on player agency and strategy over character optimization, with character creation itself optimized for random generation. There are six primary classes of pirate for players to choose from, including rapscallion, swashbuckler, brute, zealot, sorcerer, and buccaneer \u2014 each with their own approach to life on the open ocean.<\/p>\n

You can expect your pirate to die more frequently than your average D&D adventurer, but combat isn\u2019t a slog, since players make all the rolls. When enemies attack, the game master doesn\u2019t toss the liar\u2019s dice; instead it\u2019s the Player Characters who roll to defend. And of course, you can\u2019t have a pirate game without rules for naval combat, so it comes with stats blocks available for 18 different ships.<\/p>\n

The full color book\u2019s artistic design blends M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em>\u2019s psychedelic eldritch grunge with the 18th century pirate aesthetic, like weathered parchment and skeletal iconography. There are maps included, both for treasure and navigation, with tables for cargo, quests, rumors, uncharted islands, and anything else that might arise on a piratical adventure. An introductory adventure, The Curse of Skeleton Point, is included with the text.\u00a0<\/p>\n
