MÖRK BORG (2020)

Overview

Mörk Borg is a doom metal apocalyptic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, published by Free League Publishing in 2020. It was created by Pelle Nilsson and Johan Nohr. The game is famous for its aggressive, award winning graphic design and incredibly bleak tone. Players navigate a dying world destined to end, playing as miserable scoundrels, heretics, and broken souls simply trying to survive their final days. The system it is heavily inspired by is
Old School Renaissance (2000s)
Description In Mörk Borg, you do not play heroes. You play tomb robbers and outcasts exploring a grim, rotting world under a black sun. The setting is actively counting down to the apocalypse as prophesied by the two headed basilisk. Gameplay is highly lethal, fast paced, and completely unfair. It prioritizes atmosphere, quick rulings, and embracing the inevitable doom of your character. System Overview & Key Features
Player Facing d20 Rolls The core mechanic is incredibly simple. Players roll a 20 sided die (d20) and add a stat modifier to beat a Target Number, which is usually 12. Players roll for all attacks and all defense. The Game Master never touches the dice during combat.
The Calendar of Nechrubel The world is literally ending. Each morning, the Game Master rolls a die to determine if a Misery occurs. When the seventh Misery is rolled, the world burns and the game is permanently over. The players cannot stop this.
Omens Characters have a small pool of Omens each day. These are points that can be spent to reroll a failed test, maximize damage dealt, reduce damage taken, or neutralize a critical hit. In a highly lethal game, Omens are the only thing keeping a character alive.
Unpredictable Magic Magic is cast by reading ancient Unclean or Sacred scrolls. Any class can attempt to read a scroll, but doing so requires a Presence test. Failing this test results in a terrifying Arcane Catastrophe, causing massive damage or permanent mutations.
Zero HP and Broken Bodies When a character reaches zero Hit Points, they are Broken. The player must roll on a brutal table to determine their fate. They might simply be knocked unconscious, lose a limb, or die instantly and gruesomely.

Hi I'm Jack, I'm a 23 year old guy living in South Jersey who just never seems to be around people who want to play the games I'm interested in. I've been playing D&D off and on since I was 8 either with my dad or my friends in highschool. Most of my experience is with 5e and I've been playing 5.5 pretty regularly since it came out but honestly I'm pretty tired of it, it just doesn't give me what I want out of a ttrpg. Currently I'm most interested in Pathfinder 2E after reading through the books but I'm also down to play 1E. I've never actually GM'd but if I can't find a group I would love to give it a shot with PF2E. When it comes to wargames I'm a complete newbie, other than what I'm currently doing which is painting minis and terrain hoping I can find some people to play with. I'm mostly interested in Frostgrave since I already have minis I can use for that but Infinity looks like something I'd really enjoy. And of course board games, I have a weekly group I go to but I'm always looking for more people to play with, especially Gloomhaven (check my posts) But I'll play just about any board game.

Hello, I'm a mid-40's gamer with lots of experience DMing and playing full campaigns and D&D one-shots. I've had a chance to try a number of other systems. Delta Green and 10 Candles are a couple of my favorites! Relocating to Beaverton, OR and looking for an awesome in-person or online group!

Hey, Im Lex, I'm relatively new to TTRPG's and interested to learn and play different systems.  I've played/am familiar with D&D (5.5e) & VtM (V20 or V5). (Currently playing in a D&D campaign, VtM I haven't played but have been reading into) But also intrigued to play stuff like: -Mörg Borg -Ten Candles  -Daggerheart -Candela Obscura I'd say I'm open to learning new stuff so if you've got some alterations or games that aren't on the list just message me :).

VVD (Vivid)

Spanish
French
VVD is a visually driven world-building and campaign management platform launched in 2024. Created by an independent developer, it positions itself as a streamlined, "distraction-free" alternative to complex wikis like World Anvil. In 2025, the platform gained massive popularity on social media for its "clean UI" and its strict No-AI pledge, promising that all art and assets on the platform are created by human artists.  Description VVD is built for the "sparks of inspiration." It uses a card-based system to organize NPCs, locations, and magic items, allowing users to connect them visually through an interactive graph. Unlike traditional folder-heavy organizers, VVD feels like a digital corkboard or a personalized Wikipedia that prioritizes aesthetics and ease of use. It is a web-based tool, meaning it requires an internet connection, but it is highly optimized for mobile devices, making it a favorite for GMs who need to jot down world-building notes on the go.

Are you ready to rock? More importantly, are you ready to roll?!  Welcome to No Quest for the Wicked, a story driven actual play podcast! Currently in our second campaign using Paizo’s sci-fi space opera system, Starfinder, in a homebrew setting. Starring Ryan Dwyer, Dain Miller and Niall Spain. Made in Canada! Campaigns Campaign One: RECKONING Where it all began.  Set in the entirely homebrewed system of Casa-Mal, the crew of the Persistence is inadvertently plunged into a political and cosmic conspiracy that leads them on an epic planet-hopping adventure of discovery, growth, loss and learning the importance of embracing your past with the understanding that who you were and who you’re expected to be doesn’t dictate who you are. The show follows MERRICK, a four-armed warrior in self-exile as he abandons the traditions of his people to forge his own path.  DURRIN, a ratfolk ex-assassin hiding from his violent past in an effort to start over and make-up for his past atrocities.  And CODY, an amnesic android obsessed with 80s action movies desperately searching for his best friend and creator. Campaign Two: FRONTIERS FRONTIERS picks up 25 years after the catastrophic events of RECKONING with a brand new cast of characters as a mysterious, uninhabited planet suddenly appears in Casa-Mal as the system rushes to investigate, secure and settle this potential new home for those displaced.  This new adventure will focus heavily on the themes of discovery and consequence with multiple ways the audience can interact and influence the narrative. Join the Discord and participate in votes as citizens of this new planet, band together with fellow listeners and create a Faction that will be represented within the in-game universe or submit a Quirk, Conflict or Catastrophe to the random event chart that will shape the campaign.
