Clad in her Blue Iron Armour and the golden Arm of Azyr, Celeste leqds the IronClad to war against the Mechalis & the heretic Conclave whom praise their Mechanical Corruption!
The MB and other Borg rules state that monsters and NPCs roll a straight d20 against the DR, no modifiers. Fair, but should DRs be modified based on which creature is doing what?
For instance, let’s say a PC wants to break down a door. It’s a sturdy, banded iron door. DR 16, let’s say.
Then, a troll comes along and wants to break down the same door. Is it still DR 16, despite the troll reasonably being bigger and stronger than any PC? Or is it more like a DR 12 *for a troll* to break down the door, relatively speaking? Meanwhile, a goblin would be DR 18 or even higher to break down the door (or it just wouldn’t be possible)?
What if the PCs wanted to brace the aforementioned door against a troll entering? Would that still be on the troll to roll, possibly against a harder DR representing the PCs working against it, or would it become a DR 14 Strength or something on the PCs to brace the door?
On a different note, I presume that ability contests flip the burden, so an NPC urchin trying to pickpocket a PC would require the PC to test DR Presence or Agility against something like 14 to catch or spot their pocket being picked, is that right?
Farewell to Arms REDUX
A sequel hack of MÖRK BORG, injecting deadly trench raiding and multi-tier, grand-strategy aspects in the deadly roleplaying we all love.
Farewell to Arms REDUX is a shell-shocked, blackened war-punk RPG where trench-raiding and poison-gas are the norm. There are no heroes, only tragic endings.
I run a discord server where I run a new TTRPG every month or so. We play what I refer to as short shots (2-8 sessions). So far the games we have played are Mothership, Electric Bastionland, Tales From The Loop, Orbital Blue and now we are looking forward to running the Mork Borg spin off Farewell to Arms REDUX.
If you are looking to go to war for the Slagg in the Dying Lands. If you want to fight for HE or SHE or take arms against any of the other forces and try to survive the day, then feel free to respond to this message or send me a DM.
I am looking for 3-4 players. I expect this will run 2-4 weeks. It will run on Tuesdays from 6pm - 9pm CST. There will be a short session zero when it begins. I would liketo start on May 26th if we get enough players. If not, I will put it off til June 2nd.
Thank you for taking time to read.
(...The prophecy is being fulfilled. Visions seen through the smoke and revelations were granted unto the highest of high weed-priests...)
Doomsmoker is MÖRK BORG adventure of the sacred smoke covenant delivering sacred herb bales to the Dying Lands from Nazareth to Jerusalem during an impending apocalypse.
For centuries, WEEDIAN priests have cultivated sacred plants and delivered herb bales across the Dying Lands. From the days of THE FIRST CULTIVATOR until now, they have travelled in caravans sharing both their botanical product and music as a part of their SMOKE COVENANT.
The Dying Lands are soon to be snuffed out, according to some scripture. Only a few more Psalms will be read until all is gone.
Crossing the Sand Sea has always been dangerous. The pilgrimage is more deadly now as Scythians, heretic insects, and demons roam the desert.
The weed-priests have enlisted the help of believers and mercenaries to help them cross the desert for what will be the last caravan of the SMOKE COVENANT to bring SMOKE and RIFFS to the land.
This adventure is written for MÖRK BORG . It is written to be simple to play and enjoy, hopefully for seasoned RPG players and stoners alike.
This adventure features:

my DM built me this custom lil guy for my character thats unabashedly from dopesmoker
I only included the first ten pages just to give a sample of what lurks in wait for anyone who'd like to run this adventure, which is designed to be a 3-4 hour 1-shot depending on the number of players.
I've got it up on itch.io for free, so please have at it, and smack me upside the head with any feedback you've got! It's a "bare bones" style because I haven't been able to fully tackle all the artwork yet, but I really want to share this adventure with people.
Eventually, I plan for this to be the central adventure in a larger zine-style supplement that will allow the deranged denizens of The Dying Lands to travel its hellscapes like never before...
I'm just not there yet.

BACKGROUND:
Set in Bergen Chrypt, the story begins around a hilltop enclave known as "Kragzuul." Beneath the main city, are the lowland slums. There, joining an organized crime family offers the peasantry, what is often, their best shot at surviving another day...
Characters will find themselves and fellow criminals suspended in darkness; restrained, scouring their memories, struggling to understand how they ended up in a dank and musty space that rattles and shakes...as if it were moving...
What’s the last thing they remember? Will it help them escape? And if they do, what can be done as the giant metal machine hurtles onward through the deadly landscape of Bergen Chrypt?

Everything that's included on top of the full GM companion for running the adventure:
HAVE AT IT! AND FUCK SHIT UP!
I really enjoy the gonzo artwork style. I also like taking Ambien and staying up a for longer than I should making weird art.
From my solo delve art journal page I've had fun playing this one, a two monster two location but connected liminal space crawl.
Hey everybody!
Dropping in to let you all know that my first big Mörk Borg project of the year, WRATH, is live! If you feel so inclined, check out the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eichhorn/wrath-5?ref=4lwbih
I'm giving my worst for this one~ If you have any questions, then go ahead and use your skeletal fingers to type them out here... I'll be waiting.
Yours truly unclean, Christian!
Hello :) . I'm sorry, looks like my brain is just too grounded/boring. What causes the endless eclipse? The Moon - with supernatural influence - or something completely supernatural? If the Moon causes it, then all the nights are moonless - because the Moon has to move with the Sun?
DriveThruRPG just made BÖRÜ BORG their Free Title of the Week. Grab the free teaser and see if you can survive the steppe.
The dire steppe is finally bound in print. BÖRÜ BORG is now available in hardcover and softcover on DriveThruRPG. It exists because the community willed it into existence, and for that, we are genuinely thankful. The devil lords might hate it, but we are grateful.
Hello friends,
I've released a wee one-shot compatible horror scenario for Pirate Borg (or MB). It can be ported anywhere. Hope you like it!
Thanks!

In Khthon you'll be able to use powerful magic - from Geomancy to Necromancy, praise the Cult of the Sun, or just be a regular citizen of this underworld, using your skills to help the team survive.
There are no wrong options - a mighty knight might be a better fighter than most people, but without basic skills like cooking, tracking or digging, every party will be doomed to fail their venture deep into the unknown.
If this sounds like a nightmare you want to live through, follow Khthon, a new game from Paweł Kicman (CORP BORG, Kill Your Necromancer) and Vault Crawler (Heretic's Guide to Dying Lands, Flail!), coming soon.

YOV CAN RVN, BVT YOV CAN'T HIDE is a city-crawling supplement for MÖRK BORG.
There is no survival without sin. There is no purification without pain. Fate hunts you. Death circles you in the crowd of the city like a wolf in tall grass, stalking, waiting patiently.
The longer you survive, the closer death comes. Pay now for your sins. Sleep in fire. Rest in pain.
YOV CAN RVN, BVT YOV CAN'T HIDE generates encounters with those who pursue vengeance. Right or wrong, rumor or reality, they will hunt you. You must die.
Is there a black and white version of the rulebook? Like especially where the yellow backgrounds are white? I want to print some individual pages but if I print from my pdf it becomes grey, making it harder to read.
Also, I don't mean the bare bones version, I would still want to have the art, just no color.
Their Soul Gem encrusted armour, absorbs the fallen souls of their brethren, so as to power its Hallowed Aura. Further protecting their remaining comrades as it holds back the corruption that pervades.
The Gauntlet pilot uses this benefit to further tear through the battlefeild, seeking out the hulking Corrupted IronClads and Angels that tower over the simple knights of their order, leaving them to settle the score with the minor beasts that horde them.
