Golem Productions is proud to unveil RAVAGED BY STORMS, a 72-page, art-rich sandbox adventure module for Pirate Borg. Launching on Kickstarter 12 August 2025, this hardcover module delivers the most comprehensive Pirate Borg adventure yet (first or third party), built for multi-session campaigns, alongside dynamic tools and locations. 

Set in the storm-wracked Death Wind Islands—located anywhere in The Dark Caribbean a GM needs them to be—the adventure casts players into a competitive hunt for a thief who dared to steal from a mythic Feathered Serpent (Coatl).

A myth-infused sandbox adventure module for Pirate Borg and OSR systems

Ravaged by Storms is a 72-page sandbox adventure by Golem Productions designed for Pirate Borg, but easily adaptable to many other OSR systems. Edited by John Baltisberger.

The book will come as an off printed full-color, sturdy hardcover book, printed on premium uncoated paper with durable binding. Stretch goals include enhancements such as a UV spot coated cover, a ribbon marker, custom-printed endpapers with GM aids, and exclusive poster maps. More goals, also offering additional gameable content, will be revealed as funding rises.

"Hands done, bar none, the most impressive and comprehensive supplement for any Borg to date. RAVAGED raises the bar substantially."
-- Zac Goins, Master of Marketing at Limithron.

The book includes:

  • 🗺️ A multi-session campaign framework throughout the Death Wind Islands, a remote archipelago fought over by a mythical Coatl and 3 human factions.
  • 🧭 9 fully fleshed out locations — hideouts, lairs, landmarks, the Lifeless City — each usable as a one-shot or part of the whole.
  • 🌪️ Travel and faction procedures to keep the world moving when the crew does. Plus hooks, rumors, and encounters to explore these forgotten islands.
  • ⚡ Squallbinding: a new school of Ancient Rituals (6 rituals) to bend wind, cloud, and thunder.
  • 🎲 Storm Generator & Ruin Generator to stock seas, alleys, and bone-hollow towers on the fly.
  • 👹 7 new monsters, mythic relics, and dangerous curiosities.
  • 🎨 40+ hand-drawn pieces by Sabrina Jatscha — maps, NPC portraits, spreads. Art-heavy, not art-punk. No AI.
  • 🧩 Pirate Borg at heart, easily adaptable to other OSR/NSR systems.

“Golem Productions won the Cabin Fever award for best Pirate Borg adventure for a reason: their content is top shelf. And RAVAGED BY STORMS only furthers that notion. This is top tier content for any RPG system, let alone Pirate Borg. I’m backing day one and any pirate worth their salt should back too!”
-- Luke "Limithron" Stratton, creator of PIRATE BORG.
"Ravaged by Storms is one of those adventures you just immediately want to play. It has an amazing vibe, it's full of great ideas, and there is something new and exciting around every corner. Don't sleep on this one!" -- Paweł Kicman, creator of CORP BORG, Whispers of the Woods, and Kill Your Necromancer.

Two more adventures in the hold

Alongside Ravaged by Storms, Golem Productions is crowdfunding print editions of two modules that slot perfectly into a longer campaign—or shine as lethal one-shots.

  • The Scarlet Coral Citadel — Enhanced Edition
    A grim underwater pointcrawl inside a corrupted elkhorn coral that breaches the waves, restructured for clarity, expanded from 11 to at least 16 pages (Stretch Goals might add more) with new art and content, including the Red Coral Addict class.
  • The Way of the Worm — Best Adventure, Limithron’s Cabin Fever Jam 2024. Parasite-ridden folk horror in the too-quiet village of Crique des Vermineux and the gnawed caves below. First time in print, full-color zine, featuring The Worm-Ridden class and a “Road to Disaster” timeline that escalates if your crew does nothing.
