Mörk Borg Review

  • Initially I felt it was pretentiously arty.
  • In the end I love it - it does a great job of syncing presentation, content and setting.
    • Loads of random tables which back up the feel of the setting.
    • Mechanic for bringing on the end of the world.
  • Rules-wise it's a very slimmed down d20 system with metagame 'omens'.
    • Players (almost) always roll.
    • DC 12 is standard, only modified in the case of especially strong/weak opponents.
    • Simple and deadly crit and fumble mechanics.
    • Omens allow rerolls, damage reduction, max damage etc.
  • Options to play classless or with very flavourful classes (Fanged Deserter, Heretical Priest).
  • The included adventure Rotblack Sludge is a fascinating compact starter dungeon.
  • The website has loads of free content, including a character generator.
  • Pretty good sheets on Roll20.
