Down Among the Dead (PIRATE BORG)

Set sail for a doomed voyage where salt, blood, and superstition rule the seas. This premium OSR release is as striking in hand as it is at the table; printed on uncoated Munken 115g paper, bound with two ribbon markers, and wrapped in a haunting glow-in-the-dark cover brought to life with 5-color Pantone spot inks. It’s a treasure worth coveting… and a curse worth fearing.

Inside, you’ll find a trove of tools and tales to fuel your campaigns: new classes, skills, motivations, and house rules that twist the pirate fantasy into something darker and more desperate. Generate your own cursed seas with tables for Jolly Roger flags, treacherous islands, coral reefs, and strange coinage; each detail dripping with atmosphere and dread.

At its heart are three full-length adventures, each steeped in horror and high-seas misery:

Lost to the Locker – You are dead… but not gone. Your wretched soul clings to the world as you uncover the fate of those claimed by Davy Jones’ Locker. What waits in the deep is far worse than drowning.

Venom in the Veins – Slither into a haunted snake temple where reality warps and something ancient coils in the dark. A malevolent druid’s spirit lingers here, and the walls themselves seem to hiss with intent.

Into the Maelstrom – Board a gothic castle adrift at sea and face Albrecht the Tideborne, a vampire lord whose crew thirsts for more than plunder. Garlic won’t save you. Sunlight won’t reach you. Only blood answers blood.

This is piracy stripped of romance, where the ocean devours, the dead linger, and every voyage ends in ruin.
