I've been thinking about the subject of save-or-die rolls recently. One way to use the ones from Crown of Salt without changing anything about them is to make them obvious to the players. Saying "there's an old, rotting rope ladder here" or even going as far as "hey if you use this rope ladder, there's a 1 in 3 chance it breaks and you plummet to your death". This encourages the players to think of workarounds (e.g. tie their own rope). And if they can't or won't, there's always the informed choice to gamble with the 1 in 3 chance of death.

I will check MB out for sure - I already play a lot of Pirate Borg so I'm most of the way there. :D And your books will be a great source of inspiration regardless of where I end up using them. I love how evocative your art is. The first thing of yours I saw was Crown of Salt, and  seeing a 2 page spread with a burning skeleton that says only "But nothing burns brighter than a soul." does so much more for me than pages of stat blocks.

Oh wow, this is so incredibly good. I'm getting all of your books even though I've never played Mork Borg.
