Embark on a high-stakes adventure as a fearsome pirate navigating the treacherous waters of the Dark Caribbean. In Pirate Bastards, players will chart their course through perilous seas, seeking untold fortune and glory while battling cursed skeletons, ravenous zombies, and monstrous sea creatures from the depths. But beware—ancient horrors lurk beneath the waves, and the ever-looming threat of eldritch monstrosities and relentless, arrogant colonial authorities will test your mettle. Will you claim your place among legends, or be swallowed by the abyss? Your destiny awaits on the dark, unforgiving seas!

Pirate Bastards is an RPG campaign based on the Pirate Borg game system. The campaign is set in the Dark Caribbean at the very end of the 17th Century. The Dark Caribbean is Earth, but it just isn't ours. In it, magic is real and dangerous. When Europeans settled the Caribbean there were no living natives, but there were hundreds of ruins filled with treasure and magical artifacts. After the masses had immigrated and built huge settlements, undead—known as “The Scourge”—appeared. Millions died. Now the sea is polluted with derelict ships filled with cargo. ASH, the ectoplasmic remains of destroyed undead, was discovered to have extremely valuable properties.
