Yarr! It be PIRATE BORG!

What’s a PIRATE BORG — a cultist from space with cybernetic implants who has a peg leg and a parrot? Yes, but it’s also the name of a tabletop RPG spinoff. You’re familiar by now with MORK BORG, the gritty artpunk RPG introduced by Free League in 2020. Several expansions have been created officially since then, but the first third-party expansion, created by someone else with Free League’s blessing, is about to hit. PIRATE BORG takes the world of MORK BORG and enhances it for the high seas. This game is about being a greedy, filthy, scoundrel. Find a ship. Recruit some crew. Raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer your weasley black guts out. Get a bigger ship. Kill some things. Upgrade your ship. Sneak into a fort. Raid a port. Acquire treasure. Bury said treasure. Become infamous. Search for someone else’s treasure. Flee in terror from unfathomable creatures from the deep. Drink all of the rum. Die on the high seas. Roll a new character and do it all

Free League Publishing and Stockholm Kartell developed and released MORG BORG in 2020, a tabletop RPG with a dark and grungy artpunk style. While a few expansions for MORK BORG have been released, we’ve had to wait for a true sequel until today. CY_BORG is almost ready and will be hitting shelves next month. Whereas MORK BORG took its inspiration from the metal music genre, CY_BORG is inspired by noise, industrial and underground hiphop. You and your friends play cybernetically enhanced misfits and outlaws in an oppressive technological landscape of systemic corruption, street violence, and even alien-worshipping cults (not the nice ones). The game is fully compatible with MORK BORG. CY_BORG RPG is a game about climate collapse, out-of-control consumerism, the commodification of personal data, late-stage capitalism, transhumanism and senseless violence. A fever-dream of tech, punk and fury. Of fighting a failed future. A deck-hacking, brick-throwing upheaval of a game. uses a modified version of MORK BORG’s ruleset while adding elements like autofire, cybertech and hacking. Six optional classes will be

Earlier this year Free League brought out NORK BORG, the first tabletop game published under their Free League’s Workshop label (a sublabel for externally developed games, as well as a website for fan-created scenarios). MORK BORK is an artpunk RPG from creators Ockult Örtmästare Games and Stockholm Kartell. They say it’s “about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak and decaying world. Who are you? The tomb-robber with silver glittering between cracked fingernails? The mystic who would bend the world’s heart away from it’s inevitable end?” They add, “The world is dying. And you with it.” If you can’t get enough NORK BORG, there’s good news: an expansion is now available, MORK BORG CULT: Feretory. It includes a monster generator, new treasures to uncover like The Cauldron of Lies, new classes and, most importantly, two new adventures to embark on: The Death Ziggurat and The Goblin Grinder. “This expansion is guaranteed to make you descend into madness,” says Free League. “Because let’s

MORK BORK is an artpunk RPG, blacker than the blackest depths of a….big black thing. Creators Ockult Örtmästare Games and Stockholm Kartell says it’s “about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak and decaying world. Who are you?

And you with it.” MORK BORG can be played as its own standalone game, or its parts can be salvaged as part of an existing game.

As we’ve covered here many times, Free League Publishing puts out popular RPG series like Tales from the Loop, Mutant: Year Zero, Coriolis, Forbidden Lands, and Symbaroum. With most RPGs you can stick to the stories in the sourcebooks, or you can make your own. But it’s not common for the RPG company to provide you the chance to sell your original story if it’s good enough. That’s what Free League is doing with their new label, Free League Workshop, which officially launched today. Make your own Mutant or Coriolis scenarios — and sell them with Free League’s blessing! They’ll give you half of the proceeds for every sale. How cool is that? The only real rules are that you must use the Free League Workshop logotype and the relevant legal text for the game you are creating content for. Other than that, anything goes. You can set any price you want for your product, or you can offer it for free. Tabletop roleplaying is a uniquely creative medium. Free League
