WHAT THE SMÖRK?!
Smörks are little yellow goblins who have a bit of an obsession with archetype descriptions and a taste for the best things in life: Comfy footie pajama bottoms, silly hats, mushrüm moonshine, violence, and sing-alongs.
Unfortunately, you also live in a world where everything else has a taste for YOU and they are all much, MUCH larger than you.
Smörk BORG is a complete game built from the award-winning doom metal horror fantasy RPG Mörk Borg using their Smörking excellent 3rd party license.
Smörk Borg is a d20-based game, but you use all of the lovely clicky-clacks for other parts of the game too. Players have four abilities and use their modifier to try and beat a Difficulty Rating (DR) of the thing they are trying to do. The bulk of the rolls are player-facing, (players roll to attack and to dodge enemies) and a character can be rolled up and ready to play in minutes.
In Smörk Borg, you play obliviously miserable little yellow goblins as they fight for survival, experiment with assorted illicit substances, harass the giant animals and humans that live nearby, and attempt to avoid being eaten. They live in the dark, mystical forest of the Bosk on the borders between Galgenbeck and the haunted Sarkash. Adventuring as something the height of a pint glass presents a new set of roleplaying challenges as you navigate dangerous terrain and confront creatures many times your size.
You’ll probably die. Luckily, it’s dead simple to roll up a new Smörk, loot the body of your old character, and dive back into the adventure.
SMÖRK BORG IS:
- Lethal. You’ll probably die.
- Silly. You’ll probably die in an amusing fashion.
- Irreverent. You’ll probably die smörking a squirrel across the back of the smörk.
- Open World. Provided your tiny legs and giant feet can get there.
- Exploration and adventure lurks around every stump, swamp, alley and rooftop. Delve deep into the woods of the Bosk or go crawling along the soot-soaked gutters of Galgenbeck.
- Pretty much everything is bigger than you. Get used to unbalanced combat and get creative.
- Hack it, mash it, tweak it, and change it however you want! Want blue Smörks instead of yellow ones for some reason? Go ahead!
