Ex Libris Mörk Borg A directory of content, tools, and resources

TIL my new Florida pal and Ep. 96 guest, @liberludorum.com, founded a Mörk Borg content and resource directory.

I have never played a Mörk Borg title — or almost any indie TTRPG for that matter — but I recognize the passion and diligence. Check the product.

It's my pleasure. I hope for some replays to see more of the wrinkles, stay tuned...

Sykes-Picot Plays With Colonial History (And Dry-Erase Markers) — Breakup Gaming Society How will you mark the course of the two Europeans who carved up the Middle East like a turkey at the end of WW1?

#tricktaking #historicalgames #boardgamepodcast

Shadowed hand holding up four cards from Sykes-Picot: The Secret Treaty to Partition the Ottoman Empire. The cards have numerals at upper left, symbols at upper right (black star, fleur, blue crown) and hex configurations in the middle. Line illustrations of 19th Century style European men are at the bottom of the cards.

I finally get @hollandspiele.bsky.social's Sykes-Picot: The Secret Treaty to Partition the Ottoman Empire on my table. And a beer-fueled screed off my chest. Plus, a Masta Killa track. It all works, trust me.

I love watching the evolution of @printinkling.bsky.social's Potion Hero character. I've seen PH on the beach, wishing it was a kaiju and more, but I missed this one:

I also got your Storm Above the Reich tray and also want the one for Thunderbolt Apache Leader.

Really??? In that case: Nice job, Zill!

A hand holds up a translucent plastic tray whose compartments are filled with green, tan and blue cardboard counters from the Avalon Hill wargame, Squad Leader.

As advertised, @cube4me.bsky.social's tray counters neatly hold all the pieces for Squad Leader, which I finally punched and sorted after 40 years. Nice job, @thebrdgmschronicle.bsky.social and team! If you have a favorite wargame, they've prolly got a tray for it.

Dwelling Solo RPG Session 3: The Honey-Chili Heart — Breakup Gaming Society Against the wash of grays the chicken now hovers at center, full-color and wet as a human heart. The red chile-honey bird implodes here, bulges there as it is squeezed with great force; a leg quarter ...

A pile of kitchen stuff drying in a sink after being handwashed: Metal trays, big red mixing bowls, a colander....an open flask is visible at rear.

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 18 – Bridge Hunt Holy crap, it’s the first week of July and you’re seeing yet another tale from the Combat Commander ladder from me? That’s right, we actually got our game done on July 1. That&#82…

While I don't know the Combat Commander system, I do enjoy @whovian223.bsky.social's meticulous blow-by-blow accounts of his battles.

Since I'm learning Squad Leader with @partymeeple.bsky.social, the narrow scrapes and wild mishaps all ring true.

Just went and dug up that invite link you sent me before I abandoned Twitter. It worked.

on the real tip, are you still running your channel

Look at that nice ivory tone and those rounded corners, dang counters almost look ceramic in this shot!

This one sounds like it would combo nicely with beer and yelling

Addendum. It's live!

1. I forgot to taste it on its own! It lent a nice tangerine note early but was overpowered by the limeade thereafter.
2. I'll ping you for sure.

A bottle of Stolichnaya vodka, a canister of Signature Select Limeade frozen concentrate, and an orange beer can: Juicy Oasis from Breckenridge Brewery

Tried a thing. My variant as pictured. Walt of @liberludorum.com went with Haku Vodka and Florida Avenue Brewing's Big Boy Blue as his booze pillars. We drank and he told me about @bullypulpithq.bsky.social's Carolina Death Crawl. This and more in the next Breakup Gaming Society episode.

OMG I've never even seen this one

Vijayanagara Review or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bahmani — Breakup Gaming Society Vie for India as the iron-fisted (but faltering) Delhi Sultanate or one of the two southern empires that rise to challenge it. Plus there's Mongols.

www.breakupgamingsociety.com/episodes/vij...

The crushing boredom of three drinks. The thrill of being attacked by the Bahmani, Vijayanagara, and Timur's Mongols all at once. The idyllic propulsion of an Herbaliser beat with Roots Manuva rhyming on it.

I just released Episode 95 of Breakup Gaming Society. Link in comments 👇

I want to see if being more aggressive during the Khalji Dynasty will slow the challenger kingdoms down and make the midgame more manageable.

Detail of provinces in central/southern India from the boardgame Vijayanagara: The Medieval Empires of Deccan India 1290-1398. Black cubes throughout represent Delhi Sultanate troops, cylinders with crescent moon represent Sultanate governors, and discs show presence of Qasbahs. A number of green cylinders are also present in three regions, showing Bahmani Kingdom nobles who are compliant (for now).

Tonight there will be a "meet and greet" happy hour with all regional Governors! One lucky attendee will be bastinadoed. See you there! (Turn 1 of my second game of Vijayanagara: The Deccan Empires of Medieval India 1290-1398 with @thebrdgmschronicle.bsky.social and @whovian223.bsky.social.)

Thanks again for having me. This game is fantastic and your Big Move up the VP track was quite dramatic...

MY GOD
