MORK BORG is...unusual. It's OSR via "doom metal" with artpunk aesthetics.

Here is a HUGE amount of free stuff.
https://morkborg.com/content/

Although its all (obviously) tailored for the Mork Borg RPG, its a cornucopia of kewl bits that will be useful for most any fantasy GM, and the darker fantasy your campaign might be, the more useful the bits will be. From the very flavorful classes to the long charts of charty goodness, there's good stuff there.

The Mork Borg random dungeon maker (no maps) also deserves a shout-out.

Mork Borg appears to exist as a "second generation" version of Warhammer or DCC RPG, where the new kewl kids on the block went double extra mega grimdark, so much so that's I'm not sure you are even allowed to play Mork Borg without wearing corpse paint.

Would I play Mork Bork? Hell yeah. One of the few games I'm jealous I didn't create.

Thank you for the link. I've wanted a look at the rules for a while.

I think I won't play it, though. Too grimdark minimalist (edit:) for my tastes.
Here for the games, not for it being woke or not.

Greetings!

I love it! I don't have Mork Bork, but from what I have seen and read, it definitely seems to be cool and inspiring. I can imagine getting a game of this going while drinking some shots of Cabo Tequila or Silver Patron, and smoking some fine cigars! ;D

The term "Grimdark" is overused and kitchy, but it's the be-all, end-all of Mork Borg and very consciously aimed at that fandom. Which is good because too many "dark fantasy" RPGs don't commit to the "dark" and its very clear Mork Borg is designed to wallow in its darkness...for better or worse, depending of course on the players.

They've been on tour for 3 months now, and haven't yet noticed that the Peter Criss guy isn't actually one of them!

It's death metal so nobody knows the lyrics anyway*
And Peter Criss volunteers to drive the van so he's all good.
