No one does Virtual Table Top like the Limithron. Sail The Dark Caribbean in style, and meet your bloody end with the click of a macro.
PIRATE BORG is a self-contained rules-light RPG for running swashbuckling campaigns. Character creation is optimized for random generation (though not required), and during combat all rolls are made by the players: enemies don’t roll to attack, instead PCs roll to defend. Pirate Borg is fun, easy to learn, potentially deadly, and perfect for OSR/NuSR style one-shots and for campaigns that focus more on player agency and smart decisions and less on character optimization and “what’s on my character sheet”.

Perhaps you were once a decent person,
but that was long ago, and in another place.
Now you're a lowlife.
A scoundrel.
A PYRATE.
Character Sheets
It’s dangerous, stepping onto the deck of a pirate ship. Scurvy, cannon balls, undead. You’ll probably end up dead on a beach, or down in The Locker. And when you do, you’ll need a new character. Available in a form fillable PDF.
Here. Have a new sheet.
The Tavern
Rolling dice is hard. Maybe you just want a randomly generated pirate? Use this one created by Brett, one of Limithron’s amazing patrons.
Don’t forget to screenshot your filthy pirate.
Rules Reference
Why even buy the book? All the rules are right here. Print them and give them to your players. It won’t save them.
They’re more like guidelines anyway…
Buried in the Bahamas
Buried in the Bahamas is an introductory adventure for The Dark Caribbean campaign setting. It was designed with first time players and new gamemasters in mind, and while it starts with a predetermined introduction, it quickly transitions to a sandbox-style adventure, where you and your players will make your own decisions on how the adventure will unfold.
The Sinking of C’Thagn
This sandbox style adventure is set in the sunken city of C’thagn, a Cthulhu style hidden city. Map on one side, and the adventures, tables, generators and story info on the other.
The Battle of Dead Mans Cove
The Battle of Dead Man’s Cove is a pamphlet adventure designed to help new GMs and players try out small-fleet naval combat, and can be run in an evening or in a 2-3 hour convention time slot. It uses the naval combat rules found in Pirate Borg.
Dark Tides
A micro solo RPG inspired by Dark Fort.
This procedurally generated “wave-crawl" can be played solo or used as a world building tool for your Pirate Borg campaign.
Printed on a single folded sheet of thick A4 paper with five A5 ship sheets for tracking your vessel and a hex based wave crawl.
No PDF! In print only!
