Mörk Borg
"I have a secret game that I'd like to play. Oh it's a very nice game, it's a lovely game. It's a game of fun, and a game of adventure! A game of rats! And lice! And the black death! A game of stirred eyeballs and dripping guts, and the smell of... Rotting gardenias."

"Mörk Borg? Ain't that the TTRPGs pseudo-DnD nerds play because it came from Sweden and the art is weird?"
- – Anon, in every Mörk Borg thread.
Mörk Borg, also known as Not Gork Mork (or was it Mork Gork?), Björk the RPG, Tumblr does Dungeons and Dragons, World's most confusing game book, Swedish Dark Souls in paper form, Fa/tg/uys' nightmare, Grimdark Medieval IKEA, Game of Skubs or Mork Borg for those who don't know how to put tremas atop their Os on their keyboard, is a Tabletop RPG reminescent of GURPS and Dungeons & Dragons (naturally) set in a pre-apocalyptic world which is about to end altogether and you play as a filthy scavenger on a quest for redemption, artefacts, gold, or all three at the same time before your life comes to an abrupt if predictable end. As you can see, it isn't the most lighthearted thing on the planet.
Mörk Borg has made itself quite a reputation these days, primarily because of its gritty atmosphere, post-modern and punk art that makes it look like it belongs in a new age museum (or a Hot Topic, depending on your age and level of contempt), its confusing rules, its dungeon-crawling action and its teeth-clentching difficulty. Some even theorize that the game was made by the angriest DM that ever exist. It's hard to get into Mörk Borg, mark our words. It is so niche in its form that even /tg/, of all things, can't bring itself to speak or play this game. It is THAT polarizing.
Do you have the required level of autism to read the confusing game booklet that is such a mess to read, its Index is at the end of it, your character sheet comes before the pages that explain how any of your stats and perks work, and most of the pages are filled with fluff that does not serve any purpose until you get to the end-game?
If so, welcome to Mörk Borg, you're gonna ruck blood.
