Awarded "Best Adventure" of the CABIN FEVER Jam!

A PARASITE-infested adventure for Pirate Borg!

“Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit; to become delightful, happiness must be tainted with poison.” - Georges Bataille

Crique des Vermineux looks like a serene fishing village at first glance, but those who dwell here ultimately live to feed the Mother of Worms. This module, suitable to integrated into a multi-session campaign or to be played as a one-shot, will bring to you the horrors of an eldritch PARASITE. Inside you will find:

  • Road to Disaster: A table of two evolving threats and a possible chain of events that will occur if the player characters decide to do nothing.
  • Original, hand-drawn art on almost every page.
  • 4 illustrated, major NPCs to make your days worse.
  • The Worm-Ridden: A new Haunted Soul Class for Pirate Borg.
  • Crique des Vermineux: A former French colony turned secret haven of the Wretched. A town to be explored on 4 pages with rumor and encounter tables.
  • Gnawed Caves: An unnatural, 4-page dungeon with hand-drawn isometric maps and horrors better left alone. Can you hear the Choir of Worms?
  • A Wretched Generator to create the NPCs you need!
  • VTT Files with tokens and maps for you to print out or use digitally.

If you play our game, you should leave a game report in a place where the Pirate Borg community or other RPG enthusiasts can exchange their experiences.

It is our very first project, yes. I've been running RPGs for more than 20 years, but this is the first time we get something out.
