We\u2019re not affiliated with <i>M\u00d6RK BORG<\/i> in any way, but they have an open third party publishing license on their website. Basically anyone can make content for the game so long as they abide by certain terms and conditions. <i>PLAGUED CRYPT<\/i> is meant to be an addition or introductory adventure for new players. The party is informed of a bounty on plagued beasts in the forests of the North and set out on a journey to track down the source of the calamity. It\u2019s full color and will have a mini dungeon, new monsters and items to plug into any campaign, and more. It\u2019s a brief module that will be published in softcover and PDF. We have shirts and minis as bonus items on Kickstarter as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG: This is for <i>M\u00d6RK BORG<\/i>. What about that system inspires you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-04.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25759 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-04-212x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-04-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-04.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a>CLIPPER<\/b>: Well, for one, the layout and design work is amazing. It really stands out and is very inspirational. There\u2019s an entire mood and energy that ties in well with the art and tone (even the coloration of neon pink, bright yellow, and pitch black) and that scrappy, grungy punk photo-copied zine feel is really great too (especially as someone who has made zines for his own punk band previously). Additionally, it\u2019s a lightweight rules system that puts the energy and tone of storytelling over the mechanical intricacies, which I\u2019ve always been a big fan of. Also the fanbase is really creative and energetic, and it\u2019s fun to be a small part of that. And, of course, generally speaking, as a fan of heavy music and imagery this hits the right chords.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG: There\u2019s a plague token system, what is that? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CLIPPER<\/b>: Basically, there\u2019s a dire plague afflicting the town of Galgenbeck that seems to be arising from these blighted beasts and monsters in the forests, so there\u2019s a chance when you\u2019re fighting one of them that you become afflicted. As time passes and the tokens stack up, your character gets put in greater danger and you have to find an antidote before it\u2019s too late. It\u2019s just a way to raise the stakes (excuse the poker\/token pun) and see some physical representation of that on the board. The base game actually has a somewhat similar allusion to a goblin curse where characters have the potential of transforming into a goblin, though it\u2019s left kind of open-ended.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-02.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25761 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-02-212x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-02-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-02.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a>EGG: What other new goodies can fans expect in the book? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CLIPPER<\/b>: There\u2019s a small dungeon, full color layout and art, a 3-page comic, a 36 (2d6) piece loot table, and of course the adventure as well. We\u2019re almost to a stretch goal of adding more art and content, so I\u2019m already thinking up some material to add. I think anyone interested in <i>M\u00d6RK BORG<\/i> would be able to get something fun out of it, even if they just end up using the loot tables or reading the comic, but the adventure itself should be a great introduction to the game for players and, I hope, a great jumping off point for a campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG: In this, there\u2019s a short comic. What made you decide to add that to the product? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CLIPPER<\/b>: I like comics a lot as a narrative medium. I think it adds a lot of visual language. I remember being excited about a short comic-like insert at the beginning of <i>Mekton Zeta<\/i> just because it was something cool and interesting that isn\u2019t in a lot of tabletop RPGs, but feels like a really natural or tangentially related addition. There\u2019s also a manga component to the Japanese version of <i>Tunnels &amp; Trolls<\/i>, which is really cool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25756 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-07-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-07-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-07-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-07.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>EGG: You\u2019re offering miniatures, correct?

One is the main baddie, Aerico, who is a disease demon. He\u2019s dark cloaked and carries a cow-skull. The other is a death knight who I thought looked cool &#8212; just a fighter-like character with some spiked armor and a cool sword who seems very much at home in the doomed world and could likely be used for a player character\u2019s mini. There\u2019s also a stretch goal for a third surprise miniature if we hit $10k.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG: Visually, <i>M\u00d6RK BORG <\/i>has a look and layout. What are you doing to achieve those? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CLIPPER<\/b>: My best, haha. I think the art and the comic adds a lot &#8212; even the cover was a digital painting I made years ago that just seems to fit with the narrative really well. I\u2019m also taking a lot more chances and flights of fancy with the design than I would for anything else. That\u2019s one of the reasons the project was very appealing to me when I started it last year as it was a bit of a design challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25758 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-05-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-05-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-05.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/THE-PLAGUED-CRYPT-OF-HELVETE-05-678x440.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>EGG: Are you planning more <i>M\u00d6RK BORG <\/i>products?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CLIPPER<\/b>: Not in particular, but people seem very interested in this one so time will tell.
