Mörk Borg (2020)

Overview

Mörk Borg is a doom metal apocalyptic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, published by Free League Publishing in 2020. It was created by Pelle Nilsson and Johan Nohr. The game is famous for its aggressive, award winning graphic design and incredibly bleak tone. Players navigate a dying world destined to end, playing as miserable scoundrels, heretics, and broken souls simply trying to survive their final days. The system it is heavily inspired by is
Old School Renaissance (2000s)
Description In Mörk Borg, you do not play heroes. You play tomb robbers and outcasts exploring a grim, rotting world under a black sun. The setting is actively counting down to the apocalypse as prophesied by the two headed basilisk. Gameplay is highly lethal, fast paced, and completely unfair. It prioritizes atmosphere, quick rulings, and embracing the inevitable doom of your character. System Overview & Key Features
Player Facing d20 Rolls The core mechanic is incredibly simple. Players roll a 20 sided die (d20) and add a stat modifier to beat a Target Number, which is usually 12. Players roll for all attacks and all defense. The Game Master never touches the dice during combat.
The Calendar of Nechrubel The world is literally ending. Each morning, the Game Master rolls a die to determine if a Misery occurs. When the seventh Misery is rolled, the world burns and the game is permanently over. The players cannot stop this.
Omens Characters have a small pool of Omens each day. These are points that can be spent to reroll a failed test, maximize damage dealt, reduce damage taken, or neutralize a critical hit. In a highly lethal game, Omens are the only thing keeping a character alive.
Unpredictable Magic Magic is cast by reading ancient Unclean or Sacred scrolls. Any class can attempt to read a scroll, but doing so requires a Presence test. Failing this test results in a terrifying Arcane Catastrophe, causing massive damage or permanent mutations.
Zero HP and Broken Bodies When a character reaches zero Hit Points, they are Broken. The player must roll on a brutal table to determine their fate. They might simply be knocked unconscious, lose a limb, or die instantly and gruesomely.

Roleplay focused Roleplay focused
You - Criminals. The City? On Fire. Your Escape: A train. Can you make it till the end in this horror homebrewed Mork Borg adventure? In this world of devastation, tucked away in the taint of Bergen Chrypt, resides the hilltop enclave of Kragzuul. Beneath its stony peaks and spires, are the lowland slums. There, joining an organized crime family offers the denizens, what is often, their best shot at surviving another day.  Join a criminal family and try to escape the demonic entities ferrying characters to the realm of the Creature King... I have been invited to run "Train of The Damned" at Anime Central this weekend in Rosemont (Chicagoland), Illinois. If you will be attending the convention, consider reserving your spot at the table! This session will be held in the gaming area and you'll need a convention badge! The adventure is part of a larger Zine that I am producing as a supplement for MB titled, "Verdammt." It will run similarly to a more classically stylized OSR with deadly twists and combat lurking around each corner. Players can create their own characters or utilize an assortment of premade characters as they attempt to survive the "Great Cleanse" in the slums beneath the isolated kingdom of Kragzuul. I've been GMing for three years now, with a recent focus on running Shadowdark and Mörk Borg adventures. And now, I am very much looking forward to sharing this adventure in a convention setting. NOTE: Mörk Borg lends itself to dark, atmospheric, and gothic scenes that are not for everyone, and this one-shot in particular, features significant narrative death that usually leads to graphic language while roleplaying. The table will agree to "Lines & Veils" but please keep this in mind.

I run an online D&D game atm, but would like to play in person, maybe something not d&d. I've played tons of RPGs over the years, and introduced my wife to the hobby, would like to play different sorts of games with different groups and styles just to do something different.

Hi there, I've been playing rpgs for over three decades, primarily D&D (2e & 5e), Call of Cthulhu, WoD, and Feng Shui. I can play online or in the L.A. area.

Do you love Eberron, or maybe you've just recently heard of the setting with the release of Eberron: Forge of Artificer? What if I told you there's a whole community of players and DMs that have been around for half a decade, running multiple adventures and connecting unique characters and yes even making memes just a link away? That's right! Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn is a server in discord where we run D&D games! Not only seamlessly combining 5e and OneDnD content, but adding popular Eberron 3rd party content such as Exploring Eberron and other Keith Baker products to our player options. All while DMs bounce ideas and look into popular 3rd party sources like Duran's Guide to the Blood of Vol and the Giant's Guide to Xen'drik for even more stories to unfold! We have Sharn as our main hub, so even when you're not engaging into quests you can roleplay with a vast community and bring your own stories into the mix. With special encounters avaliable so you can fight crime in the streets of Callestan or help patrol King's Forest against the nefarious Jungle Boys! We're also actively seeking special events as the Eberron we've expanded on together continues to flourish. Including the implementation of holiday events providing special challenges and opportunities. Discord server - Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn
