MÖRK BORG BARE BONES EDITION + ROTBLACK SLUDGE

In short: This is the full MÖRK BORG book—without most of the art and with a minimalist graphic design—for free download. The introductory adventure Rotblack Sludge is included as well, unchanged from the original version.

One day all will blacken and burn. Just as the Two-Headed Basilisks have predicted. 

The world is dying, time is short. How will you face these last days? Robbing graves for soil-stained wealth, or facing down the apocalypse, hoping it can be fought?

MÖRK BORG is a doom metal album of a game. A spiked flail to the face. Rules light, heavy everything else. This is the BARE BONES EDITION; free, (almost) artless and the typography and graphic design turned down from 11 all the way to a sensible 4-5. When we made the original book we sacrificed a lot of things on the experimental altar of aesthetics and theme. This edition removes all that; strips the flesh off of this monster and leaves behind a bare skeleton. Still animated, armed and anxious to reenact the satanic panic, but bare and without all the horns and ornaments.

This is FREE to download. You can choose to pay for it but please don't. It's meant to be free.

For the real deal, visit morkborg.com or your unfriendly local game store and ask for that yellow book with the blood-splattered demonic skeleton warrior. Say hi from us. 

What is MÖRK BORG?

MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black apocalyptic fantasy RPG about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak and decaying world. Who are you? The tomb-robber with silver glittering between cracked fingernails? The mystic who would bend the world’s heart away from its inevitable end? The world is dying. And you with it.

Confront power-draining necromancers, skulking skeletal warriors and backstabbing wickheads. Wander the Valley of the Unfortunate Undead, the catacombs beneath the Bergen Chrypt or the bedeviled Sarkash forest. But leave hope behind - the world’s cruel fate is sealed, and all your vain heroic efforts are destined to end in death and dismay. Or are they?

MÖRK BORG is a complete game that can be played as is or be picked apart for use in your own homebrew.  Within the book you’ll find:

• A brief look at this dying world. From The Two-Headed Basilisks’ gothic cathedral in Galgenbeck and Blood-countess Anthelia’s limestone palace, to the fields of death in Graven-Tosk and the barren wastes of Kergüs.
• The Calendar of Nechrubel, that decides the speed of the world’s demise.
• 20 occult Powers that let you bend reality, and just as many magical catastrophes for when you disastrously fail.
• Optional rules which bring more depth to the game. Omens let you turn bad luck into a slightly better one. Classes with unique traits and quirks, and tables that will bring life into your character.
• 12 creatures to be murdered by.  
• Game master tools such as tables for corpse plundering, occult treasure, adventure sparks, dungeon generating and other devilry.
• The introductory dungeon crawl scenario Rotblack Sludge, where you investigate a forgotten part of the Shadow King’s enormous ruin palace. Cannibal warlocks, poison peddlers from beyond the void and hungry gutworms await
