Update:
Thanks everyone who showed interest, we've couldn't have done it without discussing the horns. We have enough players to get started, so I'll set up the game and will be sending out invites to @nezzeraj, @Dragonling, @cowleyc, @Sterfteerst, @Honor_Over_All, and @Harrigan. Still can open another spot or two if pressed! :D
And now, the descriptive pitch:
Mork Borg is a miserabilist-themed fantasy setting by Free League Publishing. Its game system is suitably minimalist, 4 ability stats, no long list of skills, one d20 roll plus modifiers to resolve situations. Character creation is best enjoyed through its randomness. It's OSR-style without needing to resort to the source of all original OSR, ie D&D. It excels, like most Free League work, in its flavour. The Borg series (Cy_Borg, Pirate Borg) aim for grimdark atmosphere. Also fascinating is a world clock that determines when everything ends. Life is short.
So, mature themes, graphic imagery, various harm/horror/death/religion tropes. I'll be running an introduction from the Heretic supplement that pulls the various PCs together, from there we'll move into the first crawl-like adventure. If the game continues into future chapters, PCs will encounter the larger world of the setting, at least until the clock runs out and the end of the world happens.
