Thin prep, hard choices
Two locations, one awful timer, and a rumor—enough for a single doomed night.
Doom-metal OSR desk
Short, loud, doomed—notes for yellow-and-black tables
Mörk Borg Crate is for groups who want bleak satire, fast violence, and zine-scale campaigns. We talk about how to run a handful of sessions well. We do not claim to ship sealed crates.
Start with Getting Started, skim the Guides hub, or browse Resources when you need outbound references like Mörk Borg on Wikipedia.
What this desk is for
Borg-family nights work when failure is interesting and prep stays thin. Steal wilderness clocks or faction pressure if they help; leave other games' trademarks alone.
Date your misery. Guest GMs need NPC grudges written down, not vibes alone. Public context: Official Mörk Borg site and Mörk Borg on Wikipedia.
Primary sources beat anonymous listicles. Designer pages and publisher blogs first.
Guides, Glossary, and Resources go deeper. Sister desks cover wider Borg lanes and neighboring horror shelves.
How we write
If a mechanic slows the carnage without adding dread, cut it. Tone and fairness beat sacred rules text.
Good Mörk Borg nights come from shared expectations, not PDF hoarding. Clarity over collectible hype. Industry context via Free League Publishing is optional reading—not a shopping list. Email info@morkborgcrate.com; see Contact and About.
