I recently ran a one-shot of the RPGs Mörk Borg and The Mechanoid Invasion. Both games were fun, but I found myself thinking about the strange similarity between them, and how I could steal stuff from one to use in the other. Mörk Borg is the new Swedish hotness, a ENnie-award winning OSR fantasy game … Continue reading The World Is Doomed: Why Mörk Borg and the Mechanoid Invasion are basically the same game

I used the Death Ziggurat hexcrawl adventure that's available for free on their site. Since I use pregens, I … Continue reading Mörk Borg: Fillable Character sheet
As a request, I've created fillable character sheets for the first edition of Boot Hill, the old west RPG from TSR. It was published in 1975, and was a little closer to a miniatures wargame than a RPG, but did have some basic advancement and campaigning rules. I've made a couple of different versions.

The Price of Freedom was a Red Dawn-inspired RPG from West End Games in which the players are guerillas in a Soviet-occupied 1980's America. It didn't do very well, and as far as I know, is not available (legally) as a PDF.
