Unofficial Guide to the Mörk Borg Universe
There are multiple Roleplaying Games (RPGs) that use the same rules-light game mechanics as that of Mörk Borg. Mörk Borg and its “sister” games are all rules-lite RPGs that fit loosely under the Old School Revival or Old School Renaissance (OSR) gaming movement. With a little bit of manipulation, any or all of these games can be mixed/blended/mashed-up. This guide supports the following RPGs:
• CORP BORG: Office-Crawl
• Cthork Borg: 1920s Jazz Age Cosmic Horror
• Cy_Borg: Cyberpunk
• Death in Space: Space (where there is death)
• Demon Dog: Punk World
• Farewell to Arms REDUX: War that is a bayonet to the heart
• Frontier Scum: Acid Western
• Mörk Borg: Dark Fantasy
• Nine, The: Dark Sci-Fantasy
• Nuke Borg: Post-Apocalypse
• Orc Borg: Orcs in space aboard a junk rocket
• Pirate Borg: Scurvy-Ridden, Art Heavy, Rum-Inspired
• Qvke Borg: Foul Adventures in a Doomed Dimension
• Rōnin A Mythical: Samurai-Inspired World
• Secret Glory: The Mythos Investigation
• Slav Borg: Post-Soviet, Semi-Fantasy
• Vast Grimm: Infectious Sci-Fi Horror
• Yigderra: Gods are dead and reality is a trash pile

Do you have a link for Nuke, Nine, and yigderra?
Came across this Bug Borg https://www.monomythgames.net/bugborg
Bug Borg is in my list to be included for remakes Version 12. Thanks.
Hey! here are a few more!
XENO BORG (aliens/helldivers style)
Mork Manual (more of a traditional fantasy world approach)
RED BORG (revolutionary working class setting)
Mork Zone (post apocalyptic/stalkeresque setting)
Mad Borg (another post apocalyptic setting but more of an urban style i guess?)
STAR BORG (star wars for MB)
Coming soon too:
Wasteland Degenerates (mad max-ian post apocalypse)
Berserkr (from the team that made Ronin, this is nordic fantasy)
Mork DOD (death metal chainsaw mork borg)
Animort (cartoony)
Hellpower (regular people vs super powered villains a la the boys)
Ilias Lovis: Thanks for the callouts. I will be adding these (and more) to the Version 12 of Unofficial Guide to the Mork Borg Universe, coming soon!
Don’t forget Nobunaga’s Black Castle: https://conos.jp/product/nobuborg/
Johan Nohr: Thanks for the callout. I will be adding Nobunga's Black Castle to the Version 12 of Unofficial Guide to the Mork Borg Universe, coming soon!
insertnamehere3192 Thanks for the heads up on Farewell to Arms REDUX and Orc Borg. Both have been added to the UGttMBU file.
Hey there! I want to start off by saying I love this guide. It’s awesome to finally have all the MB hacks in one handy document.
One that’s coming soon is Farewell to Arms REDUX, a MÖRK BORG hack set in a war-ravaged, bombed out version of the Dying Lands.

EDIT: Oh! And of course ORC BORG.

one that recently reached its funding goal was Slav Borg, which takes a neat cultural lens with some mad max elements on the system: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slavdomstudio/slav-borg-a-post-soviet-semi-fantasy-osr
Walter, Thanks for the notification. I believe I know the publisher via Facebook. I will contact them about getting Slav Borg incorporated into the product.
Best!
Hi! I’m developing a Mörk Borg hack of a dark sci-fantasy game inspired by the Locked Tomb series and DUNE titled The Nine, right here on itch.io! It’s still in development but there’s a demo/preview that’ll be updated frequently. It can be summoned here: https://thegeekchef.itch.io/the-nine
I have seen the Facebook posts, I’ll be happy to add this effort into the Unofficial guide.
You have been blessed by the Divine Resurrector! Thanks!
The Unofficial Guide To The Mork Borg Universe is a resource for navigating the small heap of games that are built on Mork Borg's engine.
The PDF is 7 pages, with a bare but extremely functional layout, and it includes links to the games, an overview of their core mechanics and themes, and links to the third party licensing agreement for each title.
Overall, this is super helpful! If you like Mork Borg's gamefeel and want to see what other related things are out there, there's probably a game on the list that you haven't heard of. At the same time, all the information in the Unofficial Guide is well organized, and it'd probably make a handy reference for converting material between the listed game systems as well.
Hello there, friend! You missed Cthork Borg - Cthulhu with Mork Borg rules! https://kumada1.itch.io/cthork-borg
Also, Pirate Borg is on the way! See this Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/limithron/pirate-borg
Mograg Ah! I knew I would miss a few, thanks!
