TTRPG Creators Set Sail for the Dark Caribbean in Upcoming “CABIN FEVER” Event

TTRPG Creators Set Sail for the Dark Caribbean in Upcoming “CABIN FEVER” Event

In May, the tabletop RPG community is invited to participate in the CABIN FEVER game jam, which revolves around the Pirate Borg RPG. The event encourages creators from across the globe to submit their original content in one of five categories: Adventures and Modules, PC Class, Monsters, NPCs, or Ships, Generators and Random Tables, and Miscellaneous. The objective is to expand the Pirate Borg game with new materials for both Game Masters and players.

Submissions will be accepted from May 1st through May 31st. Participants who follow the submission guidelines will receive an exclusive KNOWN CONSPIRATOR antique pin and a CABIN FEVER die-cut sticker.

The entries will be judged by a panel comprising several notable figures from the RPG community, including Brian Colin from Infinite Black, Jason Hunt and Brett O’Donnell of Pirate Borg Ex Libris, Bridgette Jeffries of Chaosium, Doug Shute from Free League Publishing, and Luke and Tyler Stratton from Limithron.

The event will conclude with the selection of sixteen entries to be featured in a print-on-demand hardcover book. Each selected creator will receive a copy of the book and a share of a $3,000 prize pool, with the top entry receiving $1,000. The book will be made available at cost on lulu.com, and a free PDF version will be accessible via pirateborg.com.

Alongside the game jam, Limithron will release the Pirate Borg Design Primer. This guide provides content creators with writing and layout tips, information on the fonts used in Pirate Borg, and a list of resources to assist in the development of high-quality submissions for the game and its Dark Caribbean setting.
