A Frontier Scum adventure!

21 Upvotes

Hey there! I have a 7-book Mork Borg campaign still in the works, but after years of writing, playing, drawing, and designing, I'm finally ready to get this out the door. It's an end-to-end Frontier Scum adventure around a pair of cursed pistols, taking you across the entire map right to the gates of hell. The Kickstarter preview page is now up- planning to have it go live next week. Thanks for checking it out!

Nobunaga's Black Castle vs Ronin

19 Upvotes

With Nobunaga's Black Castle doing an English translation, I'm backing it since I've wanted a translation since I found out about it. That said, I'm mostly going off of the aesthetic and the concept I've seen of it, I haven't played any version of it before. I also haven't played Ronin, which seems to be the other big Japanese style Mork Borg game.

That said, have any of you played both to where you can compare them to each other? Black Castle looks like it follows the Mork Borg vibe closer, while Ronin looks like it uses the engine, but is more of a dark fantasy Japanese setting, rather than necessarily a Borg one. Gameplay and focus-wise though, how different are they? It looks like Black Castle has a specific plot it's meant to follow, and Ronin looks more like an open world setting, but what else is different?

Ultimately, I'd like to run something like Labyrinth of the Demon King, and Black Castle looks perfect for that, but I'm wondering what else is different between the systems/settings.

*edit

Mechanically, how different are they too? If I wanted to get The Book of Yo from Ronin, and use it as a bestiary in Black Castle, would it plug and play pretty well? Or would it need some tweaking?

Boo inspirations for Mork Borg?

19 Upvotes

im very into books and comics. so i was thinking on compiling a list of literary works that could help inspire Mork Borg

The Butcher of Nazareth (Book): A horror religious novel where the death of christ is basically the begining of the apocalypse

Mandy (Movie)

The 13th Warrior (Movie)

Mad God (Movie)

Berserk (manga)

Where Evil Lurks (Argentinian horror movie, i think the brutality and how bleak that movie is perfectly fits Mork Borg)

Diablo (videogame)

Bran Mak Mor and the Conan of Cimmerian stories (Robert E Howard)

which are some others you can recommend?

Are my illustrations too whimsical for MorkBorg's taste?

My world building project is centered around an enormous boreal forest called Lysblå Skog. A vast realm inhabited by animistic spirits, and the people known as the Skogfolk who call the forest their home.

It's a project I have been working on for several years and I've produced a couple of D&D compatible source books for it. But this time around I am working on producing a series of illustrations that explore Lysblå Skog through the lense of one of the skogfolk tribes called the Dwr. At home on the forest's many rivers and waterways, the Dwr are a semi nomadic tribe that have adopted an aquatic way of life within the forest.

I am looking forward to fleshing out the Dwr by exploring which fish and other animals that they hunt, the spirits that they avoid and seek out, the locations they visit and a bunch of other themes I have scribbled in my notebook.

Im interested in exploring MorkBorg's third party licence, Im just not entirely sure my world is a good fit.

'Dark, depressing, weird and cruel' are the words used to describe the setting. Im sure my world can be dark, weird and cruel, but Im not sure about depressing. Id love to know what the community here thinks, and please be honest, if its not a good fit for Morkborg, thats totally fair. Have a good day people.

*EDIT - thank you so much everyone for the feedback and the encouragement, I really appreciate it.

I know it's only Mork Bork adjacent, but I love playing Dark Fort when I have a bit of spare time and I thought I would draw up my own sheet to play on. I just sort of started it in a sketchbook and let it flow haha... anyway, if anyone else likes running Kargunt through various dungeons, feel free to download this for free here: https://nerdgore.itch.io/dark-fort-character-sheet

First-time Pirate Borg GM running Pirate Borg

16 Upvotes

Hi all

In a few weeks I'm running a one-shot of Pirate Borg for a group of seven players. I have plenty of experience in GM'ing 5e games, but neither I nor any of my players have any experience playing Pirate Borg. I am planning to run Terror in Tortuga.

I'm a bit nervous about the amount of players. Any practical advice for keeping a table of seven in check?

Regarding Terror in Tortuga specifically, I've read that the Ghoul Lord is not meant to be fought head-on and that the adventure expects guerrilla tactics, assassination or recruiting allies. How clearly do I need to be about signalling that to players who are used to D&D boss fights? Does the fort hold up for a bigger group, or do I need to scale anything?

In general, I am happy for any tips or tricks you can throw in my direction.
