S4E13 Talk Like a Pirate Day Pirates as a RPG Genre

And the first one is from Merc the Meek.

Okay, Jason,

I might record this again after going on a walk, but I figure maybe putting something out will get the ball rolling for some other people to post in Pod by Post.

But yeah, it's a great idea.

I'm glad you're quickly continuing the genre idea.

So yeah, I have not, once again, played a ton of pirate systems.

And so, like, I've looked at the Pirate Borg book, and I, for Free RPG Day, they had a Pirate Borg little adventure that I picked up.

My brother has the Pirate Borg system, so I gave him that adventure.

But it looks neat.

I, you know, I would definitely give it a play, you know.

I don't necessarily buy into the whole Morkborg ecosystem.

With that said, I suppose you could do Starborg as pirates in space if you wanted to go that route as well.

They do have ship combat rules, which you don't really take damage to your ship.

It's more pass-through to your characters.

And the ship provides armor.

So, I don't know, it's kind of interesting.

But each person on the ship can have a job.

And the different...

Like, if you're the pilot...

If you're the pilot to dodge attacks, you can use, like, your maneuvering role instead of just your normal...

Dodge Roll, I think they're about the same.

But if you're an engineer, you can use knowledge to boost the shields and things like that.

So each player has something that they can do while they're in combat, ship combat.

Yeah,

rambling about that.
