I stole the idea from @loottheroom.bsky.social and made a blog where I create PCs for the games I have in my bookshelf and write through the process. It's gonna be quick, unedited and raw but hopefully entertaining and/or informative. First up: Frontier Scum.

I am now a publisher.
I know there are so many really great third-party Mร–RK BORG titles out there that haven't had a printed version done or are obscure for whatever reason. I'd like to print them and make them more available, sell in my web shop, bring to cons etc. More will hopefully come.

I think the intent was to have a couple of generator exclusive results, but perhaps @morkborg.com would be open to releasing them to the world!

Black and white image of a sick as heck knight in a trenchcoat, holding a big sword on their shoulder. They're also reaching for the six-iron (revolver gun) on their belt.

Next up: it's no secret that I adore @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social and @makedatanotlore.bsky.social's Frontier Scum is pretty much a platonic ideal of an RPG for me. To that end, @alfredvalley.bsky.social's Fire in the Gorge is a cracking starter adventure for any players who survived The Organ Rail.

An old timey illustration of a hatless man holding a big target in front of him while a bullet passes through his skull. Text on the page describes a game mechanic that allows a player to let their hat take all damage from a single hit during a gun fight.

DON'T FORGET YOUR HAT.

In about 30 minutes, I'm gonna run a session of @makedatanotlore.bsky.social's fantastic RPG, Frontier Scum. Declaring it Scumday Sunday!

Knight Forlorn is on Kickstarter for #ZineQuest!

A Soulslike, roguelike story game, it uses procedural generation, rotating roles, and punishing battles to wave tales of a lone wanderer on a futile quest in a dying world.

"And upon your splendid return, the Battercod Lubricate Company will award you fine folks one-tenth of the profits. Easy as fish pie โ€ฆ if youโ€™ll pardon the pun."

Created as part of the Dreckgullard's Desolation Winter Jam, Corpse Trail to Hell is a dreadful new release for FRONTIER SCUM.
