Dörk Borg - I'm too scared to listen to metal

The artwork is pretty much where I want it to be. The text is probably too juvenile, but I think this could still be lots of fun. I'm more into camp than gritty realism, but I love the Mörk Borg system.

Some more concept art I made for a hack I am dreaming up. Trying to zero in on the tone and themes through art first, everything else second.

Some index card art

Been a lot of fun playing Mörk Borg again with a small group from work separate from my main group.

Been running a campaign near the southern coastlands of Wastland, where a civil war has taken the military north and left the region in a lawless shape.

The PCs have joined then taken over a gang in the town of Rattenburg called the Plague, and are now operating their own criminal enterprise out of the Black Rat Tavern.

Estou pensando em escrever uma campanha de RPG que se passe no universo de DIABLO usando o sistema de MORK BORG

Essa ideia me veio dps de ver o trailer da nova DLC de DIABLO 4 e o fato de eu estar louco atras de jogar MORK BORG mas sem nenhuma inspiração do que escrever, comprei um sistema borg tbm chamado BERSERKR que é mais EPICO que MB mas tras coisas que não se encaixam tanto, como o sistema de RUNAS, mas queria saber de vcs, oque acham? Tem alguma dica? Acham uma combinação interessante? Estou dando uma estudada no mundo de DIABLO para saber o que escrever

Every RPG that uses the Mork Borg system have to be dark?! 🤘💀

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask something that might seem a bit silly, but I'll ask anyway.

To make an RPG using the Mork Borg rules, do I absolutely have to make it dark and decadent?

I ask this because the simple mechanics of Mork Borg are very good, and I was adapting them to a medieval JRPG setting and other RPGs, which will have dark elements, but it's not exactly thematic.

I read on the official website that hacks and systems that use Mork Borg as a base are dark and decadent.

My references for this RPG would be: The Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger, Soulslikes, Morrowind, and other works...

SOME SCVM GOT CURSED... NOW WHAT?

We've all been there. One of our players fucks around and finds out - and their character turns into a Goblin. But what does this transformation look like? How do we describe it? And what if we gave said player a second chance to keep playing their character - or at least what's left of it?

Where the weird & wild mingle with the unfortunate undead, incarcerated in this shadowed realm of the Undead.

Fight against tyrannical conquering vampyres from the Frozen North in Tir, ride upon undead wyverns that soar across the wyld woods of the Rhyddian Plains, get lost in the endless & infinite industrial maze of Iodum, hunt down mechanically corrupted beasts in the toxic MystLands of Fynn, or uncover the secrets of the once demonic lord of Nieve.

  • Adventure | Tar & blood -Investigate the Tor Bannyr & the Daemonic secrets of its former master Alaurant of Niève.

Tir a land of washed and broken wylds, overrun by Vampyric conquerers form the Frozen North that seek further dominion of the lands.

Rhydd where Undead Wyverns act as a defensive barrier to the Vampyric horde to the north, yet hide a sinister secret in their Wylder past.

Iodum where the endless city ever burns in the fires of its factoria, where the peoples of the land are fuel for the flames at the want of their lords above. Yet, the seeds of rebellion stir deep in the darkened web of its infinite depths.

Niève where the wretched prince has been dethroned by the Daemons he bore that turned against him. Yet, now the land shrinks into isolation, and none can see the horrors that may reside behind their barricaded walls.

Fynn brought to this land from the realm of living, in the wake of their Osciallation. The event that heralded the Corrupting myst that hides the mechanical creatures of another realm. With only the IronClad warriors sent forth to combat this plague, and find the source of this malevolence.

Hey everyone,

I could really use some advice from more experienced GMs.

I’m currently running a Mörk Borg campaign that has gone way longer than expected — we’re about to play session 14, and each session usually lasts 3–5 hours. I know Mörk Borg isn’t really designed for long campaigns, but my group is loving it, so we kept going.

The campaign evolved into something much bigger. There’s a primordial entity (Qoragg) that the players unknowingly helped awaken early on, and now it’s accelerating the Miseries across the world. Each Misery has a Herald tied to it, and the players have already defeated three (Hunger, Cold, and Deceit). The current active one is related to the sea — the Leviathan.

Right now, the Leviathan is invulnerable because of these entities called the “Dried Witches” (from Tephrotic Nightmares), and the players are trying to reach them to break that protection.

Here’s where I’m struggling:

The next session (actually a full weekend game) is supposed to include (in my early sketches):

  • A dangerous port city (vice, rumors, factions, etc.)
  • Getting a ship (they currently don’t have one)
  • A rival orc pirate crew hunting them
  • Lore reveals about the primordial entity and the cycle of Miseries
  • A transition toward "Glass Throne” (where the witches are)
  • A naval combat using Pirate Borg rules (which I really want to make memorable — I even bought a physical ship for the table)

And honestly… I feel overwhelmed.

I don’t know how to structure all of this without it becoming messy or losing focus. I want the session to feel meaningful and memorable, not bloated.

So my questions are:

  • How would you structure something like this across a long session or weekend?
  • How do you introduce meaningful lore without overloading players?
  • Any tips for making naval combat fun and dynamic in Pirate Borg, specially for something like a boss fight?
  • And more generally: how do you know what to cut when everything feels important?

Thanks in advance — I’d really appreciate any insight.
