Mork Borg Novellette

Great MB story. I highly recommend a listen if you are trying to understand the atmosphere of MB.

Enjoyable

I like all things Mörk Bork, and this novelette is no exception. All the gore and vileness you’d expect in a Mörk Borg story are here.

There isn’t much in the way of development with the characters, but given how short this story is, and how short the lives of the people in this world generally are, it’s to be expected. The story itself is interesting. The ending could be a little confusing for a reader/listener who isn’t familiar with Mörk Borg, but the journey to get to that point is brutal and violent and fun.

The narrator did a good job with most of the characters, and kept a good pace throughout. What i wasn’t a fan of though, was the weird noises/music in between chapters. The noises made it really hard to stay engaged with the story.

Overall I thought it was an entertaining listen, and some of the authors takes on events and items in the game will be shamelessly used by me when GMing in the future.
