From PeteF: My Mӧrk Borg Character (5 points)

 

One of my gaming buddies decided to run a game of Mӧrk Borg.  Although I lean towards historicals, and sometimes fantasy mass battles, I’ll play any game, me.  I asked Chat GPT to describe Mӧrk Borg and this is an edited version of what it came up with:

Title: Unveiling the Dark and Dystopian World of Mork Borg: A Role-Playing Game Like No Other

In the vast realm of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs), one game has emerged to captivate the imaginations of players seeking a unique and immersive experience – Mork Borg. Created by Pelle Nilsson and Johan Nohr, Mork Borg is not your typical RPG; it is a dark and surreal journey into a world that blurs the lines between horror, fantasy, and the bizarre. Let's delve into the shadows and explore what makes Mork Borg a standout in the RPG landscape.

Mork Borg invites players to a world on the brink of collapse, a desolate and decaying landscape known as the Eternal Rot. Imagine a place where the sun has dimmed, and the inhabitants are plagued by existential dread. This is the backdrop against which Mork Borg unfolds, offering a stark departure from traditional high-fantasy settings.

Mork Borg embraces a rules-light system, making it accessible to both newcomers and seasoned RPG veterans. The emphasis is on storytelling and player agency, with minimalistic mechanics that prioritize creativity over complex calculations. This simplicity allows for fluid and dynamic gameplay, encouraging players to focus on the unfolding narrative rather than getting bogged down by intricate rules.

Unlike conventional fantasy RPGs, Mork Borg delves into themes of despair, nihilism, and absurdity. The game challenges players to confront the darker aspects of existence, creating a narrative that is both unsettling and thought-provoking. This departure from the norm adds a layer of depth to the storytelling, inviting players to explore the complexities of their characters and the world they inhabit.

We’re having fun with the game and it’s dark dark setting.  My character is a flail wielding heretical priest – he’s already in trouble with the world’s dominant, apocalyptic religion and aims to spread sunny optimism to places it really doesn’t belong. 

The model is a 3D print given to me by the games master to paint up for our next session.  Wish him luck as characters don’t tend to survive too long in this setting!

(Stepping outside the library for a breather for this possibly final entry of Challenge XIV - I had planned on a final Antique Books entry but not sure if I'll have time to complete it.  Thanks for all the minioning!)

Great model there Pete, and a wonderful description from ChatGPT as well on the setting. I can see how this chap brings sunshine to others.. whether they like it or not! 

Thanks for all the posts this challenge and cant wait to see what you bring in the next one!
