About the adventure
A quick dive into Pirate BORG- a dark and deadly RPG set in the rough waters of the Dark Caribbean. Pirates, undead, monstrous sea creatures and worse infect the region- but all you want is some pieces of eight to sell for some swill. Explore Black Coral Bay and find out why everything that dies on the island reawakens as the undead the next night. Could the answer be right in Coral Town, the Nameless Temple, or right in the castle of Skeleton Point, where the immortal Baron resides? I plan on running this one-shot multiple times, and if there is enough interest, a campaign is a possibility.

About me
I have been playing and running RPGs for over 20 years. I started with D&D 3.5, but now specialize in WFRP, Soulbound, and Pathfinder 2E. I am the host and GM of "A Grim Podcast of Perilous Adventure" (WFRP), "How Doomed Are We?" (Soulbound), and "Star Omens" (Starfinder 2E Playtest). I was also a player through the Extinction Curse campaign on the "Lost Omens Podcast." You can find me on YouTube (www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalCasual) and at professionalcasual.com.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation is a quick process with a bunch of awesome random tables. If you have an idea for a character, we can choose some results on the tables to fit your plan. Don't get too attached though, these pirates aren't meant for long, comfortable lives! We'll make characters at the start of the session using Foundry tools.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
If you can take a look at the free starter guide here: https://shop.limithron.com/products/pirate-borg-quickstart-guide you'll have a great idea of what the game is all about. Otherwise you'll need to join up on the Foundry link here (you can link your Google account easily): https://forge-vtt.com/invite/professionalcasual-curse-of-skeleton-point-pirate-borg/429d7162-2750-4b0b-a28b-828109a7b51e We'll communicate through Discord here: https://discord.gg/FP3hPEbWh Tag me "Bad GM Dan" when you enter the Discord and I'll make sure you have access to the proper channel.
What "Bad GM" Dan brings to the table
I will provide the rest! The Foundry Module for this is amazing and really sets the tone. Be ready to roll on a bunch of great tables- your experience will be unique! I've got over 20 years experience GMing, over a year on SPG, and hundreds of hours in Foundry (though I'm still learning new stuff about it all the time, so don't hesitate to point something out!)
Homebrew rules
I don't have enough experience with Pirate BORG to have any home rules, but I'm flexible in the moment if we find something we need to discuss during play.
