About the adventure
Sometimes you just want to move fast and break things while clangorous guitar and drums wail against glottal lyrics. Enter Mork Borg and its foul spawn of Borg-likes. Each week we'll rotate through a Mork Borg one shot where survival is never a given, but ultraviolence in all colors of the rainbow is. Check each one shot listing for the system and delve. Grab physical dice or use the Discord Dice Golem and the matching character generator to roll up some meat bag and throw them into the grist mill: Mork Borg: https://scvmbirther.makedatanotlore.dev/ Cy_Borg: https://cy-borg.makedatanotlore.dev/ Pirate Borg: https://tools.grydin.com/pirate-borg/ ORCBORG: https://goblindustries.itch.io/generatorc

About me
I have been running TTRPGs for over ten years, starting with D&D 5e, but that quickly expanded. I'm a dabbler in game systems and lover of stories. My previous campaigns include Curse of Strahd, Horror on the Orient Express, Call of Cthulhu: Las Vegas, Alien RPG, Heart: The City Beneath, Spire: The City Must Fall, Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults, Kinks & Cantrips, and many one shots. I've introduced hundreds to their new favorite board game and have taught dozens their first TTRPG. I run remote games using Discord, Roll20, Owlbear Rodeo, Foundry VTT (my preferred remote format), Alchemy VTT, and other tools. It has been my pleasure to introduce children, teens, and adults to their first TTRPG, as well as game master for those with decades of experience. I have a half-dozen games I've designed, too. Horror, science-fiction, and fantasy are my preferred genres, whether that be in games, books, or movies. I love podcasts, working out, writing, reading, comics, and film.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need 1) Discord profile and to join the Gentle GM server 2) A mic and headphones (webcam is encouraged, but not required) That's it. Players can use physical dice if they prefer. Discord offers Dice Golem for dice rolling.
What Caleb brings to the table
I have over ten years of Dungeons & Dragons GMing experience. These old school-inspired one shots will deliver fiction-first, rulings not rules style play. My goal is for you to have the best time you can at the table, which includes player choice, creative storytelling, and meaningful actions. Simple maps complement theater of the mind play, meaning how you interact with the setting is limited only by your imagination!

How Caleb creates a safe table
Safety Tools are always part of my table and briefing on them is part of every one shot session. Commands in Discord will be observed, including: - X: X Card pauses play and creates a break. As your GM, I'll rewind or otherwise determine how best to return to the action. - Rw or Rewind: Rewind a scene that included content that you do not feel is appropriate. - Ff or Fastforward: Jump ahead to the next scene to bypass sensitive content. You can expect B-movie style action and horror, including blood splatter and gore using theater of the mind. Expect threats of violence to hostages relying on your actions to save them. There will NOT be sexual assault, sexual abuse, or child death.
