FUCKING PEAK AND YOU CAN’T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
>>97396518Based no shame enjoyer, rock on dude.
I'm not the biggest fan of it but I don't get the hate either. Comes across as fags just being contrarian or getting mad about the cyberpunk spinoff being anti-authoritarian (who would have fucking guessed?). The system is pretty basic but the artstyle is flashy and introduces people to OSR-adjacent gameplay which helps fund the scene so it's alright in my eyes
>>97396518It's a rice cake that's been dyed black and sprinkled with red salt. Devoid of any real substance, but it is technically a food that you can eat.
Happy for you, if you enjoy it.For myself, I don't see the point. It's a system and setting I could just homebrew in half an hour, which comes in a fancy overpriced package.Something like Vermis makes for a cooelr coffee table book.
For me, it's Blue Rose.
>>97397398Blue Rose is actually good thoAnd has a fucking system with it. It’s like the exact opposite of Mork Bork
>>97396518I quite enjoy it too, currently checking out Star Borg though.
I don't mind games that refuse to pull their punches, and don't treat PCs as special, but Mork Borg is just too high lethality for me
>>97397459Mork Borg is more like some swedish tryhard's napkin scribbles. The actual game, such that it is, exists more in the minds of people with years of experience, rather than on the actual page. Seeing as it teaches and offers practically nothing, the only way anyone can get anything out of it is by already being the exact kind of person who might write a "game" like Mork Borg, while drawing on the mechanics, rules, monsters, and concepts that other games freely and openly present to players, because they aren't being pretentious hipster shitheads about it.
>>97398260lol u mad
>>97396625>I don't get the hate eitherIt's very much a product of style over substance and shallow as a puddle of piss.Last time there was a Borg thread someone said something along the lines of "It's a game that wants to be Berserk when really it's Dokuro-Chan" and that's pretty much on point.>>97397459Blue Rose, to its credit, knows exactly what it wants to be and plays that to the hilt. You can certainly pick flaws with its setting (Deertatorship, am I right guys) but it's true to its origins and itself if nothing else.And that's respectable in an age of vague defensive insincerity.
>>97396518Seems like a cool game but the book itself is trash
>>97398293>It's a game that wants to be BerserkIt WANTS to be so shallow and free of substance that the creator masturbated himself to death (to loli) before he figured out what to do with the plot after the big dramatic tweest that is the only thing people remember about it?
>>97396518>No content postThese threads are just like the books>>97398335>It WANTS to be so shallow and free of substanceChecks>that the creator masturbated himself to death (to loli)Might as well be, the blurb sounds like closet-pedo puritanism>before he figured out what to do with the plot after the big dramatic tweest that is the only thing people remember about it?Well, yeah, the game is vaguely without long-term objectives and hides it behind the world end tweest mechanic.
>>97396625>Comes across as fags just being contrarianThat describes the writers and playerbase.
>>97398293I never got the impression that MB was anything other than tongue through cheek about it's grim derp aesthetic.
>>97398379nta but yeah that's why I enjoy it. It's bleak as hell and so vague that the end of days can't help but make me grin
>>97396518the dev team insist upon themselves
Everytime I play a character in Mork Borg I have a blast. I think it's the perfect mix of over the top edgyness and the fact that the characters are by default crude and stinky assholes that brings out the magic at the table. In my experience even first timers or inexperienced gamers hop on the wagon like I've never seen them do in other kinds of games. School walkout for my favorite mork borg character who was eaten by rabid dogs at the end of a dungeon
