I’m a huge fan of eldritch nonsense and submarines, so I’m making a game with both. Junkrats is my eldritch-punk rpg powered by Mörk Borg. You play as the mutated and monstrous crew of a living submarine. Taking dirty jobs to make pennies in a drowned junkyard world where dead gods are turned into eldritch fuel. I took a lot of inspiration from Das Boot, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Little Nightmares. The design is coming along nicely and I already have a bunch of art for it, so we’ll see how it goes.
I'll run rotblack sludge, yall have any tips?
Thanks!
In RPG and fantasy, we are often faced with a situation where the existence of gods is an empirically confirmed fact, rather than a matter of belief. Two extremes can be distinguished in the representation of these entities (note - I do not claim that all creation adopts one of these two extreme points of view). On the one hand - the trend adapted by e.g. most of the settings for D&D - gods are personification of certain values professed by people, often they are even "born" from the faith of mortals or at least derive power from it/are shaped by it - gods described as "good" are simply good in the conventional sense of the word, they sincerely care about their followers and you know what to expect from them. On the other side, we have motifs that can be considered taken from Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythology - the gods are incomprehensible, distant beings, completely unconcerned with human worldviews and so-called "good and evil", mostly indifferent to humanity (and if by chance their paths intersect with humanit's ones, humanity is screwed) - at the same time, it is not uncommon for most mortals to be unaware of their existence, instead worshipping imaginary, more anthropomorphic deities tailored to their emotional needs.
In this article, I wanted to present deities standing somewhere in the middle - entities whose goals, yes, are not fully understood by mortals, but nevertheless close enough to human morality that worshippers can find some commonality (real or imaginary) with their patrons. These gods are usually directly interested in some way in the lives of their worshipers - although not necessarily in the way those worshipers would like. At the same time, I wanted each description to contain a hook, an important point where the devotees' understanding of the deity diverges from its real nature - and whose discovery could be a significant twist.

I picked up Reclvse on the itch sale. I love the 2d20 system, the classes and the many tables, but haven’t used it much beyond that.
The oracle didn’t seem appealing, so I’ve stuck with Mythic.
I’ve been debating checking out Solitary Defilement instead; or just sticking it out with Reclvse to give it a fairer (longer) shot as I’m only two sessions in.
I’m also using Heretics Guide quite heavily for world building, doesn’t it mesh really well with SD?
Just curious on everyone’s thoughts regarding the two?
Hello I'm making a siege one shot and I need some ole fortress map I can use. If it's OSR the better. Does anyone knows a map I can use or how make one fast?
Just a quick note to say two things - first, Spite and Malice is now part of the Itch archive of Solitary Defilement. This is a factions supplement, which was previously only available in print as part of the Futility of Prayer boxed set. It you already have SD on Itch, you should be able to download it. If you have SD on DTRPG, please DM me and I'll send you the file.
Second - since I missed Free RPG Day due to an intense work period, I've put up 28 community copies. Enjoy.
Ofc you can mix-and-match - I'm sure Spite and Malice would also integrate w/ Reclvse, or any other flavour of solo Mörking you might be spinning.
To celebrate the art for the Conclave being finalised & the Playtest Release of their rules for the Forbidden Psalm Element. I have updated the Cover image for the Kickstarter:

As stated above. I'm working on a module and need some ideas for rumors. I have plenty already stocked up but really want to fill this chart to th brim, so if anyone has ideas for what strange sightings, wierd people, or rumored happenings are going on in this city, that would be great!
Hi I'm sure I've seen on YouTube and also here a very short video about the main lore of Mork Borg, with video visuals but I cannot find it anymore.
I need to present the game to some new players and I remember thinking that the video was a perfect fit.
Can somebody help me find it or suggest similar videos?
I just want a one minute thing to show them before doing my explanation, not 10 minutes of lore.
There's no rules about movement, opportunity attacks, so how do you do it? Yall just use the same rules as dnd, pathfinder, etc, or it don't matter at all?
HOME IS WHERE THE HVRT IS - HAMSTRABORG
A Mörk Borg supplement about finding a place to call home in a dying world.
Visit your local slum lord each day to see what’s available. Scum like you probably can’t afford much, but everyone has to start somewhere. Whether you’re in a filthy hovel in a slum, a crowded tenement in the market district, or a crumbling manor in the old noble quarter, you’ll have a place to rest your head and store your loot.
There is no peace without pain and no night without nightmares. Each type of home comes with its own set of risks and rewards.
Once you have established a home, you can begin to practice the art of hoarding, HAMSTRABORG. There is no sin greater than wanton wastefulness. Life has become a series of crises and calamities. There is comfort in collection. Peace in possessions. You can never be too prepared. All items have a use and a utility. There is no such thing as garbage. Fill your dwelling to capacity and ascend to new levels of Neurotic Nirvana where you will be enlightened by powerful Revelations.
The bigger your hoard, the better off you are. But, don’t forget…GOD punishes dirty little hamsters.

I'm running a high level campaign using MB. Everyone started at level 1 but that was a few years ago and now they're about to hit 10. Last session they negotiated the creation of a new demi-plane to be their homebase. This involved getting a dozen gods, saints, and cosmic monsters to join their faction and donate power to the undertaking.
They are currently fighting psychic dinosaur gods on the moon. They have an extremely elaborate plan to reboot the universe and remove all the despair and nihilism from the setting. Only three Miseries have occured, because they're fighting Verhu in an oracular 5D chess battle. They get Grogh's priesthood to prophecy a cosmic event (like the creation of a new star) then make it happen themselves.
It feels like I'm running immortal level BECMI or Nobilis using Mork Borg, which is a crazy thing to attempt. All of my campaigns end up like this eventually, so maybe I just can't be trusted with rules light low fantasy games....? Has anyone else taken MB so far off the rails it transends its own genre and vibe?
Me and my friends would like to have more online sessions, mostly because of work and school.
I looked at some like foundry VTT and alchemy rpg but I'm just wondering if there is any consensus on here as to what is best. We will be using discord to communicate.
Fusing their body with the corruption they form physical manifestations of weaponry. Flaming fire bursts from vents within their cavernous chest, as spiked talons lance from their limbs, and shoulder mounted HexCannons send alloyed munitions into the battlefeild.

Hi folks, I recently got into Mork Borg solo play with a lot of the expansions (I'm even working on one of my own to be revealed in future.) I thought it would be cool if there were a hex map for the basic region from the core game. It could be used for a hexcrawl approach, maybe to populate with more encounters in a simple way (the hexes are numbered). I'm looking for feedback--what do you think? What would you add, subtract, revise, or like to see? Does this even have appeal to anyone?
