Oh this book looks great! just seeing the skeleton captain inspired me so much! I imagine a man who in life had a great beard, and in death is envious of himself so he fashions a beard made of seaweed! "Call me weedbeard!" He has an old time gun that shoots a single bullet before needing to be reloaded, but the bullets are his own finger bones. They might do necrotic damage if they remain in a hapless characters body, though perceptive players might notice a slight pull towards the captain at all time as if the finger bone wants to be reunited with it's hand. Especially useful if the captain hides! And of course Hilarity ensues once the captain notices he shot away his trigger finger!
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find an Ose group? I’m 14 and no one around my ages likes dnd, or if they do it’s 5e, any help would be very much appreciated
I wish the *punk aesthetic would be scaled down even more, there are still lots of pointlessly different fonts, some of them a bit hard to read. Thankfully though, it definitely looks better and more readable than Mörk Borg.
Respectfully disagree. Having some movement and a human touch in the vid is helpful and engaging IMO. It might sound silly, but even in the physical book reviews, seeing Ben's hand movements and gestures makes me engage more with what's on screen. It's a small thing, but the videos benefit from it.
You planning on looking at any of the new lotfp books? The staffortonshire trading company works of john williams is very useful for running games set in the 17th century or more generally as inspiration for your own structures
Honestly very creative layouts like mork borg are only doable when there's a small page # if you get into more lengthy gamebooks like Zweihänder then it would be not only exhausting to work on each page and come up with something fresh on every spread but it will take the designer a long time to finish. Probably 6 month to a year. Pirate Borg does seems to improve the messy layout that is Mork Borg. Granted the original book looks fun and cool but it's hard to read.
Mörk Borg translated is dark castle. so.. Pirate Borg translated is pirate castle? I understand trying to tie the product together but the name is just kinda dumb from a literal standpoint.
It can loosily translate to any sort of foritified structure. Castle, fort, stronghold, etc... So this could be Pirate Fort. But yeah... it could have a better name. Maybe Kraken Borg, or Dodens Hav Borg, meaning Oceans of Death Castle.

I've never hit "Notify on launch" as quickly as I did for this project. You're right about Monkey Island being a true mark of culture in a person :)

@@limithron request to add a curious white bra as an item as homage to the greatest character (hell on sea or on land) Mr. LaGrande
@@OliverLeaverSmith hahaha I'm putting it on my todo list
@@limithron super stoked for this! I noticed that it looks like Jacob Hurst’s name is misspelled on the back of the review copy shown in the video.
@@Xenolith234 Oh good catch! That page is just for this video... I promise to spell it correctly in the credits. I love Jacob's work.
Mörk Borg's themes are a little dark for me, but a lot of the tables/rules/material in this book looks amazing
IMO this game is not dark, or at least dont has to be dark, it is like Pirates of the Caribbean with more magic and overall supernatural.
If Mork Borg is like Swedish Death Metal, Pirate Borg is like Pirate Metal. Put on some Alestorm while running it.
ALESTORM! Also have you checked out Ahab? They are like Pirate Doom metal.
I don't need it...
I don't need it...
I defiantly don't need it...
I NEED IT!!!
As a Swede I guess you should pronounce it kinda like ”mirk borj” (but with a sort of rolling ”r”). I wish I could write in phonetics on my phone. 😊
I really like Age of Sailing/Pirate-themed settings and that with Mörk Borg sounds like really good fit!
Mörk Borg is pronounced "M-UH-rk Bor-J". :)
as a swede i like the murk burg pronounciation better, its incorrect of course but sounds nice :D

Borj as in gourge??
Derelict ship generator! How cool is that!?!
I like mork Borg, but pirates added are an instant sell.
I love the art! Backed immediately! Thank you for the review.

I heard it pronounced "Mourick Bury."
I'm told the actual pronunciation is very close to this but not exact.
Visually this resource is stunning. What an excellent product
You are correct that they're mixing up thy and thou, and I'm not sure why.
You should have a set of Lawnmower Man-style CGI hands for these pdf reviews.
Probably should be called Mörkt Hav or something like that instead of Pirate Borg.
9:38 Hey, the fluid in your eyes is already 99% water. In contrast, the oceans are 97% 😛
yes but to clarify... your *vision* fills with water, not your eyes!
Ah, keeping zombies...fresh
Is this a stand-alone setting or do I need other books
It's standalone. Though I would still recommend the other books!
"Thou dost" is, I think, how it would be said
Can we get a review on the megadungeon stonehell?
Can you play this with out a GM...
Wow! Looking at it doesn't make my eyes bleed =D
Friendly guide for people who don't have Swedish vowel sounds: Murk/Merk or Moo-erk BOAR--yee
Thanks for sharing this! Backed it right away, it looks awesome.
That should be "thou".
They need an English language editor.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find an Ose group? I’m 14 and no one around my ages likes dnd, or if they do it’s 5e, any help would be very much appreciated

This game looks awesome!
This looks so good! Definitely want it.
Is this system dnd basically?
2min mark: 'Deserted Tropics'
Yeah, but you think I should change that font? I wanted it to feel like a journal or letter, but the Ps and Gs are especially hard to read.
I could never understand how nerds found fellow nerds to play these board RPG's, but the boxes and pages are truely works of art in themselves.
As I understand it Mörk Borg the pronunciation is "Myerk Boar- ay"
The picture in picture feed of you speaking was a little odd. Not sure it added anything to the video. No offense intended.

@@sapientmuffin I agree with you about his hands in the physical reviews. It was just this video that I found it unnecessary.
They definitely bungled the thous and thys.
Ok fine, I went in on this, so hoist high the Jolly Roger and ... where's the rum?
It's gone. It's always gone....
Thanks.
Hi ben! Will you look at cy_borg?
Thou dost, oh god that bugs me

Do you need minatures to play this game?
No you do not! I recommend them for ship combat, but they are not required.

Since you pronounce Mork Borg as "Murk Burg" shouldn't you then pronounce Pirate Borg as "Pirate Burg"?

The funniest thing about these games is that pirate code forbids women onboard! This one is just another curse of the black pearl ripoff
@Questing Beast: I think you mentioned in the video that you have been playing Sea of Thieves. Are you talking about the video game or the TTRPG?
I'm pretty sure he meant the video game.
@@limithron I think so too.
