Note: This is the entire Pirate Borg book carefully converted and optimized for Roll20, plus the Pirate Borg 5E Bestiary. Some elements, like the included adventure, The Curse of Skeleton Point, have not been converted to 5e.

If you are looking for naval combat rules for 5E, check out Limithron's Guide to Naval Combat.

This add-on is not the same as the PIRATE BORG core system, which is a the self contained RPG with rules based on Mörk Borg. You can find that here.

About Pirate Borg

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”.

• A complete, self-contained RPG system based on Mörk Borg (via its 3rd Party License)
• 6 PC classes (Rapscallion, Swashbuckler, Brute, Zealot, Sorcerer, and Buccaneer) plus 2 optional classes: Tall Tale and Haunted Soul
• Ancient Relics, Arcane Rituals, Sea Shanties, Mystical Mishaps, and Alchemy tables
• Bestiary with pirate themed monsters & random pirate NPC generator
• Tables for loot, treasure maps, maritime travel, cargo, jobs & quests, rumors, derelict ships, uncharted islands, and more
• Rules light naval combat and 18 ship stat blocks
• The Curse of Skeleton Point, a sandbox introductory adventure and island location
