The Darkest Age: Mork BORG Edition

Core Rulebook by RuneWorks Games

“Men make different sounds when they die. The sound of a man dying of a gut wound is different than a man burning alive or dying of plague. The sound a man makes when being eaten alive, you won’t soon forget.”

More action, fewer rules. The Darkest Age Mörk BORG Edition is a new take on the zombie apocalypse.

This easy-to-play TTRPG boasts more than 10 new playable classes for The Darkest Age, compatible with any Mörk BORG game.

Choose from a wandering scavenger, a viscous murderer, or even a surgeon for your class. Wield unusual powers from your character origins or something strange you learned while surviving the Zombie Plague. 

The Plague killed half of Europe. These poor souls rose up as undead and now stalk the world, eternally hungry for warm flesh. Will you rebuild Civilization with your allies or wallow in its destruction?

In 1355, the Black Plague killed sixty-percent of Europe’s population. Then, the dead rose and devoured those who were left.

The Black Plague has decimated Europe and brought with it a new sort of terror, a new sort of plague. As the sickness spreads, the Plague’s final symptom becomes apparent: the dead rise to hunt the living.

The Darkest Age is a Horror RPG set in a grim, alternate history. Enter the gritty and dangerous world of Europe in 1350, as an unusual strain of the bubonic plague ravages the countryside, and those afflicted don’t just die. Faced with extinction, the people of Europe are forced to survive in any way they can. Characters face death, disease, and the myriad undead, as well as cannibals, xenophobic city-states, and religious strife in an unending battle for the resources that mean survival.

Between waves of fear and a strange, uneasy compulsion to start playing The Darkest Age right now, you’re wondering what makes this game special? You’ve played a hundred d20 OGL games, but nothing like this one. The Darkest Age explores social and cultural conventions, as well as medieval role-playing tropes, and turns them upside down. If you’re looking for a true role-playing experience, this is it.
