Just for informations sake: "Mörk Borg" is swedish for "Dark Fortress".

Very informative intro and description of the game. Thank you for posting this!

Definitely excited to get this in the mail. I ordered my copy and it should be here today. Great in depth review. Really appreciate it!

I like the system and I mostly like the setting but my only problem is that it seems like its gonna be hard to get players motivated to play a game (and hard to make characters with any goals) when the game world is going to end imminently. Like, I just don't know how anyone could make a satisfying story arc unless there's a possible way for the players to prevent, postpone, or escape the apocalypse. Even in Dark Souls, one of the bleakest settings ever the player can at least with great effort delay the inevitable, and there is ambiguity whether letting the flame fade is even the worse ending. EDIT: Whoops, commented too soon, I see there's a possible but very unlikely path to saving the world and that's enough for me

Oh yeah, Mork Borg is totally on my need to get list. The thing is an artifact and like you say, it's something you should just have and read, even if you never play it. Like you say, not for your first roleplaying game for most people but for veterans or people who want something different and refreshing, yes.

One of the most beautiful books ever

The credits page with the lightning striking art has a note on pronunciation.

They have some really cool online resources also!

It's awesome great concepts it's a beast.
