Character Creation

Feb 20, 2025 1:25 pm
The game rules can be found for free at the Mörk Borg website.

There's a custom character sheet in the gamers plane repository here.

For character creation you are welcome to use the character generator called SCVMBIRTHER, or do it with the book.
The book gives the option to either start with a base class (same as the char gen) or create a classless character from scratch. Please use the base class way.

Disclaimer
Page numbers might be slightly off due to differences in the full / bare bones editions.


The website also offers some extra classes. Here's the list of allowed classes for this game:
- Fanged Deserter (p46)
- Gutterborn Scum (p48)
- Esoteric Hermit (p51)
- Wretched Royalty (p53)
- Heretical Priest (p55)
- Occult Herbmaster (p56)
- Forlorn Philosopher (Download)
- Cursed Skinwalker (Download)
- Sacrilegious Songbird (Download)
- Dead God's Prophet (Download)
[ +- ] Manual mode extra info
In case you're not using the character generator and you need some help, let me know in this thread.

Those who wish to do so can add some random traits to their character, if they don't have any yet. Pages 39 to 43 contain some interesting quirks. You can pick which ones you'd like to roll.

You can buy extra equipment with the money you have, but make sure you are following the weight rules. (p27)
Use the prices from the book.

Please post in this thread what class you're going for and a short description of the character. Or the full char sheet if you wish.

If you want to make more than one character as a backup, feel free. But I can't promise your first one will die.

Name: Jotna
Class: Cursed Skinwalker

You should have died, but something grabbed a hold of your soul as it seeped into the river of Death and sealed you once again in mortal flesh. Only this time the cage is not yours alone-in the currents of the afterlife your soul mingled with that of another dying creature, leaving you halved. Now you live a shared existence, locked in everlasting struggle between man and monster. You should have died.

Creature Shapes: Life and death lizard. Regenerate d4 HP per round. Bite (d6) or Spit Acid (d4, 1 in 4 chance armor is lowered 1 tier), -d2 incoming damage.

Agility: 0. Presence: -1. Strength: +2. Toughness: +1. HP: 7. Omens: 1

Wearing leather armor (-d2 dmg, tier 1), carrying shield (dmg -1), Club (d6 dmg), with bow (d6) and quiver (20 arrows) on shoulder, with backpack on back.
Backpack contains: Lard (5 days), Waterskin (4 days), 3 torches, Life Elixir (heals d6 HP removes infection), 30 ft rope, Toolbox, sack with 26s.

Traits: Deceitful; decaying teeth; unable to get to the point; deserted military after witnessing a massacre, bounty on head. Hunted by former friends.

Also looks good, ogion.
Can you create a GP char sheet for it? Then I'll approve.


Btw, if anyone of you want to already know each other IC, feel free to do so.

I tried using the character generator from the website and we have:

Keftar the Esoteric Hermit!

He has 1 HP and almost all negative stats so pretty sure he is not going to last very long, but ready to roll a new character here if the time comes. Once I find an avatar pic for him, I will submit the character sheet.
Feb 23, 2025 4:41 pm
1HP on top of negative stats, yikes! I wish you the best of luck 😁
Feb 23, 2025 5:01 pm
The online tool gave me a Gutterborn Scum. I'm following quilltid and finding a picture and I'll add the character soon.

[ +- ] intro
As the intro of the game states, you all came here following a dream. This dream showed you a wonderful future. Your heart's desire was realized in it.

Please say in this thread what it is that your character received or achieved. And add it to your character sheet notes.
Feb 24, 2025 5:45 pm
Submitted the character sheet, please let me know if something is missing! For Keftar's dream and secret heart's desire, despite his curmudgeonly demeanor and history as a hermit, he dreams of having a family. Just because he came into this world a fully formed adult, alone in a ritual circle, does not mean he wants to leave this world that way.

Keftar can have already met any of the other characters if people are interested. I figured the low HP and bad stats indicates Keftar has very recently been formed so maybe one of the other characters is one of the first people he has met since entering this world?
Feb 24, 2025 5:56 pm
Looks fine to me, quilltid. If anything is missing we can always add it later.
Bad habit: pyromaniac. Oh boy.. that'll be interesting 😂

Jotna dreamed of darkness and warmth, of scales and skin moving against hers, of a feeling of safety and satisfaction. She was a lizard in a den, surrounded by her brood of offspring in a cozt den. Then the dream changed slightly. She was in a cabin with the sound of laughing children around her and someone wrapping strong arms around her from behind as she prepared a meal. She was surrounded by her family in a comfortable home. She did not know if these were the same vision, or two distinct ones, just as she was unsure if she was one person or two -- the human and the lizard spirit. Perhaps her ideal dream was something in between, or both -- she did not know.

Borda dreamt of a large lavishly furnished house, the hallways splashed with blood. The bodies of the residents and staff slain and discarded in side rooms. Borda sits at the head of a large food table, it's completely covered with meals he can barely imagine, piled around his chair are the coins and jewelry he has gathered from within this house. The oversized leg of some bird in one hand and a goblet of red wine in the other. The meat has flavors he's never encountered an the wine has a thick heavy flavor he doesn't really enjoy. But them that haves, they say, this is how you eat and drink when you have. He runs his gaze across the room and smiles, for now he haves.

Merkari the maniacal priest dreamed of a future free of the tyranny of the Two Basilisks. A world of self-determination, where mortals had a chance to forge their own destinies. A world where she was the god-queen of humanity, sheltering them and allowing them to reach their true potentials, all while they sung her praises and lavished her with glory.

Nice dreams so far :)

We're almost ready to get started

Wemut Dream:

She floats in a silver pool beneath an eternal moon, surrounded by glowing mushrooms blooming like stars. Her castle-laboratory towers above, walls seeping with multicolored vapors. Noble suitors kneel before her, begging for her potions. Her prince—his head a beautiful skull—hovers beside her crystallized fungal throne. No more empty promises of love, only pure devotion.The court drinks her elixirs and transforms—some into wondrous beings, others writhing deliciously. All hers. None dare judge her now. Moonlight glints off the prince's skull as they both laugh. The world finally recognizes her brilliance. Her potions aren't destruction but evolution. She reigns supreme, feared and adored—never alone again.
Feb 28, 2025 9:16 am
Character accepted. Everything is good to go!
Hope you all have fun :)
