What are you playing this Halloween? We’re announcing DON’T SPEAK!, a horror one-shot rescue mission for PIRATE BORG, where the noise and silence of both your player characters and the players themselves can determine whether you make it out alive.

This experimental adventure will land on DriveThruRPG and itch. io in just a few weeks.
If you’re up for hosting a Halloween Actual Play, send me a DM. I’d be happy to arrange a preview copy in time.

What’s the deal with these ratings?

The reason I ask is because they make it seem like it’s something they do for settlements, but I don’t remember seeing it in any of the books except Trapped in the Tropics.

Before anyone asks, YES. I know it’s all up for interpretation, and that I’m free as the GM to do what I want with it, but I thought I’d at least see other examples in other books. I don’t know if it’s an idea that got abandoned, something that will be expanded on, or something they put out into the aether for GM’s to dig into. Personally might do this:

Population: higher population means easier recruitment/more likely to get a skilled crewmate

Defenses: higher defenses means harder (but more valuable) to fence, harder to get away with crimes.

Wealth: d100 x 10/100/1000 ect. available to buy cargo, items available to purchase.

My personal take on some of the monsters from The Pirate Borg Trapped in the Tropics Part 4 on Pelican Island!
