Why play Mörk Sol? There are other space-Borg games.
True! And while we love Death in Space, Vast Grimm, and Mothership (not technically Borg but very much in that OSR/NSR-in-space vibe), one thing that's common to them is they emphasize how deadly space is, and particularly space combat. Ship VS Ship fights are rare, and when they do happen, you're probably going to die. We wanted something that was a little more "flip and burn"-y. If you're familiar with the ship fights in The Expanse or Firefly, we wanted to capture that feeling of ships moving fast, ducking in and out of asteroids, launching missiles, shooting enemy missiles out of the sky, all that. And we also wanted to avoid how systems like Coriolis and Starfinder create these big hefty mini-games / subsystems around ship combat that end up making your character feel like they aren't really relevant anymore.
In Mörk Sol, every part of the game circles back to your Skip. You are a crew whose Skip keeps them alive in a dying galaxy. Cargo is precious, be it water or bullets. Skip combat provides its own fun twists while keeping your Skav's abilities & kit relevant.

Welcome to the Span

Maybe entropy moved faster than we thought. Maybe the galaxy decided humanity isn't worth saving.

After we burned through our world, we took to the stars. A hundred billion suns presented themselves through the Pattern. Uncountable planets. Seemingly infinite asteroids. And not a single one provided salvation. Dying suns, inhospitable systems, hostile parasitic life, and strange phenomena. War between planets, war between stations, war between solar systems, all a proxy for the war to control the dying embers of an entropic galaxy.

In the dark spaces between the stars, something hungers - the Scourge claims the bodies of those who stray too far from the Pattern. Harbingers of Null, the space beyond ours from which power and horror emerge.

Keep your Skip running. Keep your crew safe. Welcome to the Span. 

ABOUT

Mörk Sol is a grimdark sci-fi TTRPG about found family, survival, and finding purpose in an uncaring universe. Rules lite and vibe heavy, a standalone sci-fi horror game inspired by media like The Expanse, Alien, The Thing, and Dead Space.

Built on the bones of Mörk Borg, the game focuses on space-faring & ship-to-ship combat. Aboard your Skip, you and your crew explore the Span, completing jobs & scavenging parts. Every windfall is a chance to upgrade your kit and trade for better Skip parts. And a better Skip means bigger jobs.

Repeat until you die, or the galaxy does.
