How many more of "suggest me game that does X" do you plan to post over next 3 hours? Because you've made 10 of those in the past 3.
>question itself
H+I
7th Sea 2ed
Pirate Borg
Broken Compass' pirate expansion
Each is doing its own thing in their own way, each is fun with different kinds of people

>>96045409I think you have the wrong guy man, this is the third post i've ever made on this website

>>96045510
Word of advice, then: using a pepe in 2025 is shorthand for 'I'm shitposting and want you to know it,' if you expect serious answers and discussions, it'll generally help not to use them.

Pirate Borg is really cool.

>>96045303 (OP)
Spelljammer. I ran a Spelljammer campaign not too long ago that went about a year. We were playing 5e but we used the 2e rules for ship-to-ship movement and combat. The 2e rules convert easily and hold up just fine. Was tons of fun. For the campaign, I simply used the plot of The Pirates of Dark Water cartoon from the 90s, wholesale lifting it and running it in Spelljammer. Was really fun.

How different is it from Mörk Borg? Because that is just grimslop dark fantasy where style triumphs over substance.

>>96046689
It reuses some of MB tables for gear and shit, with hilarious results.
Gameplay-wise? It's servicable. The setting is entirely ignorable and you can just run regular pirate games with it, with sea-shanties bullshit stories thrown in for the right mix. I played MB once and that was enough. With PB, I finished the campaign across 5 meet-ups and had fun.
Was the system necessary for that? Probably not, but it's functional and does the whole "dying is fun" stuff in a neat way.

>>96046689
To me it's MB but actually enjoyable, information is more dense and the layout doesn't make it a pain to read. I particularly enjoyed the bestiary.
It's in the Free League trove.

>>96046689
Unlike Mork, Pirate s playable

>>96046980
>the layout doesn't make it a pain to read
But it still makes it hard to find the information you need due to being deliberately ass

>>96045303 (OP)
>>96045389
Barbarians of Lemuria - Mythic backported H+I's naval rules if you want naval shenanigans in the antique era of sailing (oars, rams, boarding, Greek fire).

>>96045303 (OP)
Furry Pirates. Although it is intended as an anthropomorphic animals game the rules don't go out of their way to deal with that, like iirc the main different between a bird character and a cow is that the bird can be small to medium sized and the cow is medium to large which gives bonuses or penalties to strength and agility. Easily replaceable with humans. Putting furry on the cover is off putting but once furry rpgers open it they'd probably be disappointed that it's not very furry at all.

It's a solid system, not a great one but it works, with good historical background and ship sailing and fighting as well as covering magic if you want fantasy pirates. If you find you can't get past the furry part, which like I said isn't all that in your face, and you don't like the core system the historical information is still worth reading.

>>96045532
Bro don't listen to this guy lol. Only actual spergs tilt over pepe. I'd rather a million threads like this where people can discuss/share instead of more "Woke ruined mtg/warhammer/dnd" shit

Swabbin' the poop deck

Poison'd

Was it better or worse than wizard 101?
>CAPTCHA: ARR

>>96045532
No it isn't. Are you retarded?

>>96045409
7th Sea 2e is absolute garbage. 1e is better in every way.

>>96059565
6th Sea is best

>>96056181
NTA but It's a different game entirely but I would say better. It runs off a grid combat system and is more like a traditional turn-based RPG rather than using cards. Was definitely made for older kids than the W101 target audience.

I can't really speak for wizard that much because I didn't play it as a kid, pirate101 and toontown before that were my intros to MMOs as a little boy.

>>96058873
It's actually surprising the janny didn't delete this thread or at least the image. They usually do for Pepes.

That seems to be a problem with early furry games, Albedo did it too. Ironically, "the only good furry RPG", Ironclaw, is the first one to actually make animal races more different from each other

>>96062640
Thanks for the decent replay man. Due to the stigma around furry games I didn't know that and it's nice to have learn something new.

Port Royal just came out. Looks decent for pirate wargaming.

>>96063804
Thanks for letting us know.

>>96045303 (OP)
I just used BRP with the boys a lot and the thing is basically what people want DND 5e to be which is a sandbox starting point to play any genre.
>because I played pirates 101 as a kid
You are a scholar and truly cultured.
For me it was Wizard101 but Pirate101 has a place in my heart.
And quite frankly without pirate101 I never would have had an interest in tabletop games because seeing a tabletop game reminded me of p101 so I got interested in wargaming and it has been history since.

>>96059565
>t. never played either, but wants to have retarded edition war anyway

>>96045303 (OP)
Good news!
GURPS isn't a good fit because it has no rules for naval battles!
So GURPS is NOT recommended for this! :D

>>96074950
Gurpsbros
How do we cope?
Unironically gonna ask the gurps general about this.

>>96045303 (OP)
What’s the best system for a Pirate101 game?

>>96046586
Seconding this, Pirate Borg is always a good time.

Significant improvement on Mork Borg.

>Froghsit thread
>Artificial bumping trying to bait

>>96074950
>GURPS isn't a good fit because it has no rules for naval battles!
Really? I thought that having rules for everything was basically that system’s whole shtick.

>>96078702
Bump

>>96074950
>ships are not a vehicle
are you dumb? anyways they even made a specific nautical version of vehicle /mass combat for GURPS Swashbucklers.
It's fine if you just don't like GURPS for whatever gay reason but don't make shit up.

>>96054115
This.
Literally the best game info you are going to find for a pirate game. Just remove all the furshit.

>>96081467
If we're on here, the answer is probably yes, lol.

>>96046586
>PirateBorg
>Not PortBorg

Posting in a bumpfag thread

>>96092460
I don’t get it. The former sounds better at least.

it's not a proper pirate RPG until kidnapping and rape are a mechanic.

>>96097315

So literally Poison'd

>>96097315
And why is that?

>>96097315
Mongoose's Conan game had a Black Coast supplement that included captive raiding tables, and likelihood of capturing beautiful women that are extra valuable from various coastal areas.

>>96098934
>Poison'd
Never heard of it.

I listen to pirate music for inspiration

Do you have an advanced IP scraper? can you prove they're the same OP?

>>96141940
Then explain it to this other landlubber please.

>>96147084
Seconding this.

>>96045303 (OP)
>pirates 101
It is pirate101 and you made me replay it.
Better than I thought it would be. I feel hooked again.

What small scale skirmish wargames play like Pirate101 to be honest?
I wanna print some Anvil Space Pirates like pic related.
If I had a printer.

>What small scale skirmish wargames play like Pirate101 to be honest?
Seconding this ask please.

Personally no. I also got on a Pirate kick just recently and am looking for a good fully-fleshed out game.
I checked out Pirate Borg but it looked like all flash zero substance to me and I want to run games for more than a session.
I've heard good things about Flashing Blades with the caveat that it is very crunchy and that has a High Seas supplement for piracy.

I've got a copy of Pirates and Plunder but no Rolemaster rulebook. Going to have to pick that up at some point.
