It's BEAUTIFUL.....
To bad official D&D doesn't look even remotely this cool.
Mörk Borg and Mörk Borg: Cult Feretory arrived a couple of weeks ago. There are two types of OSR, the direct clone type and the arthouse type. This is definitely the arthouse type. I'm a fan of both. Mörk Borg is the type of game, that even if you never play it, you'll certainly be inspired by it. Plenty of soul, dripping with flavor, lots of cool little dice mechanics, fun character creation, fun classes, a world literally on the precipice of DOOM. It's a more rules-light type of system, but one that has plenty of room to breathe. Mörk Borg is a game that is just begging for creative OSR types to tinker with it. Perhaps I will.
In the mean time, here's a sample character I rolled up using the no-class system. A pleasure drawing this one, no pencils, just ink. Drawing time -- about an hour. A pure ink sketch that turns out well is pretty damn satisfying. And, I learned some tricks with transparency during layout.
SO, GET YOUR DOOM ON!!!!!!
Music that reminds me of Mörk Borg -- :wumpscut:
Mork Borg is a wonderfully dark game in a wonderful book, love how well that character sketch fits the aesthetic.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully dark it is, thank you Tom.
DeleteI'm curious : which police fonts did you use during the layout ? Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe fonts I used are: Chiller for the title, Bernard MT Condensed for all the class info, and Calibri for the license info at the bottom.
DeleteGreat character! You ever do anymore with this? I don't have Mork Borg, do you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteNope, this was pretty much it for Mork Borg. I think it's a great book, visually and there are cool little mechanics spread throughout. It seems most people use it for comically grim one-shots. I prefer grim without the comedy. There are limits to how far you can take it. Ultimately for me, it's one of those inspirational products that makes me want to create something right now.
DeleteThanks for the reply, this is really helpful. I sort of thought that's what it was like but didn't have the books. I appreciate your help.
