Pirate Borg – Down Among the Dead

Down Among the Dead charts a terrible new journey for budding pirates, spanning three full-length adventures. The expansion also introduces three character classes for players to embody as they sail into uncharted waters and make deadly discoveries.

Lost to the Locker: You are DEAD. Yet, your weasley black soul lingers on. Find out what happens to the unfortunate crew who find themselves lost to Davy Jones' Locker!
Venom in the Veins: An unearthly and downright strange scenario set in a haunted snake temple where the walls hiss in ways uncleansed and the ghost of a malevolent druid haunts the halls.
Into The Maelstrom: In this gothic-castle-on-a-boat adventure, you'll cross cutlasses with Albrecht the Tideborne, a vampire lord, and his crew. Garlic and sunlight won't save you from monsters hungry for the blood of scurvy-ridden pirates.

Starter Set

The crew has been hired to locate a shipwreck on a jungle island. They'll encounter British Redcoats, rival pirates, booby traps, hordes of zombies, and cursed relics. Designed for both brand new and experienced TTRPG players and GMs. Includes a new 2d40 ASH Experience Generator. 3-5 sessions, with 32 new monsters & NPCs! Includes everything you need for a group of 2-7 people to play the Worst Pirate RPG Ever Made™! Contains softcover booklets of the Player's Guidebook and a new adventure, Trapped in the Tropics.
