Mörk Borg Session 9 - The PCs stormed the suspicious village apothecary’s hidden lab, slaying the alchemically-created monsters within. They destroyed the apothecary’s goblin-making machine and burned his lab to ash. The party bard (“Sacreligious Songbird”) fell in combat, but not before delivering a final goblin head-exploding performance on his Hurty-Gurdy.
Once back in town, they killed the fleeing apothecary. His grave robber accomplice was torn apart by a mob.
@Tim_Eagon I’d go print, because I only have 1e and 2e in digital.
I’m a little skeptical of some of the Burned Over changes, but that’s tempered by the fact that updated versions of the original playbooks (with controversial sex moves intact) are an add-on.
I’m tempted by the new version of Apocalypse World, but ambivalent.
The most successful RPG campaign I’ve EVER run was with AW 2e. I suspect that was a one-time lightning in a bottle situation and that any attempt to run it again is doomed to be a disappointment.
Mörk Borg Session 8 - The PCs were instantly skeptical about a village apothecary who just so happens to be making a lot of money selling a cure to the Goblin Curse in a village that happens to suddenly be plagued by goblins. They discovered the apothecary’s secret lab, and found out his assistant is a grave robber.
I’m grateful that this group really vibes with the grimly humorous atmosphere of Mörk Borg, it wasn’t a good match for a previous group. It’s dark, but *funny*!
@Tim_Eagon Ah, that was a CD for me! Maybe my first cardboard DigipackTM.
@Tim_Eagon I don’t know if I’ve ever had a cassette with the hidden track thing…
@Tim_Eagon I thought they were fun at the time! It was cool listening to a new Machines of Loving Grace CD with my friends and then, after 15 minutes of silence, having a voice go “DON’T FOOL YOURSELF” before leading into an unexpected song.
