Pack your moth-eaten backpack, pour the rocks out of the holes in your shoes, and grab that cracked staff, because you're going on a long and arduous trek through the depressing nightmare lands of MÖRK BORG. And you’re writing home about it. This is the Nameless Scriptures Lore Jam, a reason as good as any to tell stories and lies about the world's loudest tabletop role-playing game’s horrible shitshow world. Anything goes—short stories, poems, comics, artworks, paintings, and facts about a place, event, or faction in the Dying World. Just NO RULES OR MECHANICS. This jam is all about the lore. Put those dice away. 

WHAT IS MÖRK BORG? MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black apocalyptic fantasy RPG about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak and dying world. MÖRK BORG is a complete game in the OSR genre, that can be played as is or be picked apart for use in your own homebrew. The rules are easily made compatible with most of the editions of the world’s largest role-playing game”

MÖRK BORG Bare Bones can be found here on the official site for free or here on itch for PWYW

RULES

  1. MÖRK BORG
    1. Submissions cannot use a second 3rd-party license to a MÖRK BORG–compatible game. Light references to other zines and hacks are fine as long as they don’t warrant said second license.
  2. NO GAME MECHANICS ALLOWED WHATSOEVER
    1. No dice, no stats, no rules, no mechanics, nothing of the sort. Submissions can’t be mechanically useable, table ready, and playable as is; this jam is just for fiction, art, and other creative, nongameplay media. Provide something for GMs to work with and homebrew, not drop into their game with no prep.
    2. Jam entries can be short stories, poems, songs, artworks, illustrations, comics, embroideries or rituals or really anything that tells a story in the Dying World of MÖRK BORG or somehow enriches it.
  3. ONLY LORE
    1. Don’t try and circumvent the lore-only rule by doing some textual approach to defining numerical values for items, people, creatures, places, or anything else.
  4. NO AI WHATSOEVER
    1. Doesn't matter if it's an image or text, no submissions may include any ai generated material.
  5. FORMAT
    1. Submissions should be in A5 size.
    2. Bleed area: bleed all edges: 0.13″ / 3.5mm
    3. Quiet area: quiet area all edges: 0.25″ / 6.5mm
    4. If you submit a text file written in something like Notepad, please for the love of god put text breaks in there for me.

This Jam page will be continuously updated. Walton Wood is god.  How'd that get in there
