Title: Soyfolk play Mörk Borg
Post by: SonTodoGato on August 08, 2021, 03:24:02 PM


Take a look at how new school players approach an old school game.

That being said, fuck Mork Borg and everything they stand for. I thought they were cool.

Things included: session zero, religious people bad, "funny", no lethality, "telling a story together", pronouns, le females with short hair and le tattoos, trying too hard to sound badass

>no lethality
>Mork Borg

Wait, what? Is this the same game Mr. Welch reviewed? The one about how the apocalypse is happening and chances are good your PCs will die and that might be the BEST end?

Who are these losers?

I'm still planning to get Mork Borg because nothing I've seen from their free supplemental material and fan postings sounds "new school" in any way. But maybe the core book is different?

I'd love input from anybody who has the core book.

Here's the rules reference:

Here's the character generator: (no pronouns)

Overall, it looks like a maxmimum grimdark version of Warhammer.

The game is fine but the problem is what they do with the money. They bail-out BLM rioters.

1) That's not Mork Borg themselves, it's Dissident Whispers, a title that has some (6 of 58) Mork Borg scenarios in it.
2) It's not just BLM protesters that the Dissident Whispers sales go (went?) to help -- it's anyone stuck with cash bail for non-violent crimes (National Bail Fund Network), including folks caught up on immigration beefs.
3) Note the words "protesters" and "non-violent" -- NBFN is not going to help people who were actually rioting.

You could improve this video immensely just by cutting out everything before 1:57:43. I stopped watching after a grown man gasped and covered his mouth because the DM basically described a part of the Book of Exodus. Grow up, dude.

Why is that one guy wearing eyeliner?

Green Day / stale-punk rock admiration mostly likely.

Ah, still pining for the days of the black beanie and the t-shirt over a longsleeve look.
