Description
- fantastic graphics and typography
- metal-themed old-school RPG
- brutal apocalyptic atmosphere
Light rules, heavy atmosphere - the Mörk Borg game hits like a flail to the face: brutal, painful, and raw. It is a game about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness, and scraps of wealth in a dark, bleak, apocalyptic fantasy world.
Who are you? A tomb robber with silver glitter under cracked fingernails? A mystic trying to divert the heart of a dying world to stave off its inevitable end? A necromancer? Venture through the valley of the wretched undead, the catacombs beneath Bergen Chrypt, or the diabolical Sarkash forest. Forget hope - the world's cruel fate is sealed, and all your futile heroic efforts are destined to end in a gruesome death. Or are they?
MÖRK BORG is a complete OSR-style game that you can play as is, or use to scavenge ideas for your own campaign. The rules are also compatible with Dungeons and Dragons.
Inside the book you will find
- A brief look at a dying world. From the gothic cathedral of the Two-Headed Basilisks in Galgenbeck and the limestone palace of the Blood Countess, to the killing fields of Graven-Tosk and the desolate Kergüs wastes.
- Nechrubel's calendar, which determines the speed of the world's demise.
- 20 occult powers that let you bend reality and cause magical catastrophes when you fail miserably.
- Optional rules that add depth to the game. Omens that let you mitigate bad luck. Classes with unique traits and tables that breathe life into your character.
- 12 creatures to defeat in combat.
- Tools for the GM, such as tables for looting corpses, occult treasures, adventure hooks, dungeon generation, and other devilries.
- The introductory dungeon Rotblack Sludge, where you explore a forgotten part of the Shadow King's vast palace.
- Lurking cannibal warriors, deadly poisons, hungry worms…
MÖRK BORG was created by Pelle Nilsson (Ockult Örtmästare Games) and Johan Nohr (Stockholm Kartell). The rulebook is in English.

After reading it, I felt exactly what this book is supposed to evoke. I wanted to curl up in a corner and mourn, because nothing matters anymore... Maybe that's the point, or maybe not. You play as characters living in a dying world. You never know when the apocalypse will strike. On top of that, there's DOOM METAL playing, and the church won't even let people commit suicide. You have to experience the end of the world firsthand! What kind of characters would you expect in a world like this? Yeah, a bit psycho and a bit anti-hero. And that's exactly how I'm going to enjoy it the most.
Po přečtení jsem měl pocity, které ta kniha má asi vyvolat. Chtěl jsem se schoulit někam do koutka a truchlit, jelikož nic nemá cenu... A o tom to možná je, nebo taky ne. Hrajete za postavy, které žijí ve skomírajícím světě. Nikdy nevíš, kdy přijde apokalypsa. Do toho hraje DOOM METAL a církev nedovolí ani lidem spáchat sebevraždu. Konec světa si totiž musíš zažít na vlastní kůži! Jaké byste v tomhle světě čekali postavy? Jo, trochu psycho a trochu antihrdiny. A takhle mě to bude asi bavit nejvíc.
Rules light, everything else HEAVY.
A beautiful book that works just as a decoration, or you can use it to play a gritty, depressing, and metal OSR RPG. The RPG mechanics themselves aren't particularly deep or groundbreaking, but the atmosphere and style the book sets are, in my opinion, truly excellent.
Rules light, everything else HEAVY.
Krásná kniha, která může sloužit pouze jako dekorace, nebo si s ní můžete zahrát drsné, depresivní a metalové OSR rpg. Mechaniky samotného rpg nejsou nijak hluboké ani světoborné, avšak atmosféra a styl, který kniha určuje, je z mého pohledu opravdu povedený.
MÖRK BORG is a typographic masterpiece!
A precisely crafted old-school ruleset wrapped in a truly unique (typo)graphic style. The minimalist rules perfectly fuel the dark setting, and the atmosphere radiates from every page.
This piece belongs on the shelf of every tabletop RPG fan!
MÖRK BORG je typografický skvost!
Naprosto precizně vyvedená oldschoolová pravidla v naprosto unikátním (typo)grafickém hávu. Minimalistická pravidla skvěle nakopává temný setting, atmosféra z knihy sálá na každé stránce.
Tenhle kousek by neměl chybět v knihovničce žádného fanouška her na hrdiny!
