    Character Creation is what sold me on Mork Borg. You can roll up characters that are so hilariously stupid yet cool as fuck at the same time. For example, one of the players at the Glass Cannon Podcast rolled up an oracle of a dead god of death whose only possessions were a donkey and a bomb...it's just amazing!

      a donkey and a bomb are really all you need.

    I just got jump scared by a toy Dino and a scream. Glad to know I'd actually scream in terror when combat starts at Taron's table if it is announced like that...

    A quick aside, this game plays more like a roguelike in that 'getting better' isn't so much how your character increases their competence, it's more about finding new gear. There aren't many ways to stop death, but there are many ways that players can avoid that situation altogether. If you die, starting up a new char is just a way to have a fresh start.

    Love how much traffic Mörk Borg and the other iterations are getting! I currently have a CY_BORG campaign running and am starting another Mörk Borg for a different bunch. It's a great system that's easily tweaked into whatever weirdness you want to create.

    Oh cool, I didn’t know there was also a WW1 version of this! I’ll have to give it a look. Thanks for covering Mork Borg; it’s such a fun game.

  • @twentysides
    @twentysides 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I love that it uses reaction and morale like in the D&D's of old instead of assuming every living or unliving thing just wants to fight you to the death on sight. Yeah the world sucks but it also needs room to be weird. 💚

    I love Mork Borg and they are awesome with how you can use their property and add on to it with clear and concise rules. This can either be really positive or negative but 3rd party supplements for the game, for which I own about 20, are usually extremely small and focused. About 5 of the supplements i have are a standard US Paper size turned horizontal and trifolded. They are cool, but extremely small. Other expansions are a single class or a set of 3 monsters. You aren't often getting fully fleshed out products, you are more getting the page of another metal magazine.

    True story, my players TPKed from being hit by a meteor. And more than once when looting the room, they rolled a bomb that blew off their hand.

    Mörk actually means dark in swedish :) the dots it's part of our langugae. But yeah It has been used by a lot of metal bands and such to make the name cooler.

  • @younghoono

    10:02 Reaction's been the name for that mechanic since the D&D Basic set back in the late 70's (maybe earlier, I haven't read OD&D). Probably any OSR game that tried to rename it would get some weird looks, since it's so ingrained.

    I love the These games my favorite is cyborg. Mainly because you can take everything and anything from every other iteration.The magic, the pirates the guns and you can all throw them into that 1.And it will all still work because you can just say Hey.When geese when ground zero went off the whole entire world basically experienced one massive metaphysical glitch. Also I like to run it as a true rogue like in the sense of when your character It gets greased I rule it that your new character gets that Gear, your old character had since there's no real level.Up system or anything gear is how you improve yourself and your chances for survival. So it made sense to me to make it at like Where to spite your character meeting a greasy end Your new character gets all their old gear.Cause they just stumble across the scene of the old character's demise. The surviving player characters knowing that they're living on the edge.And well, you can't really pick your allies in this situation.Just automatically take them in. Because screw it.Why not.

    What was the name of the artist you said at around 00:25? The auto captions say Ralph Stemmons, but I'm not finding anything for names even remotely similar. Can anyone help me out?
    Edit: nevermind, enough creative googling found the result. To anyone else who was curious, it's Ralph Steadman who is known for his Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas art amongst others.

    So, a 25% chance to die when you drop to zero hp? That's 75% less lethal than old school d&d. (Yeah, I know, just on the face it.) Sounds awesome, but something my kids would want to do once in awhile, just for the flavor. Pick it up when I get the chance.

    classes were better than no-classing until the Heretic supplement included the feats for no-class players, and most of the feats are better than the class features.

    How the hell do you pronounce the name of the game?

    • @tylercole3738
      @tylercole3738 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's pronounced in Swedish like "Murk Boree" but the company is aware of how others pronounce it as Mork Borg and have turned it into a joke by releasing things like "Ork Borg" and stuff like that.
