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 session offers a Mork Borg one shot where survival is never a given, but ultraviolence in all colors of the rainbow is. 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 go by the Gentle GM. Even in the midst of death-defying adventure or bone-chilling horror, I aim to be a warm and welcoming game master. I've run games for children and teens, seniors, and all ages in between. LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC players can expect respect at my tables. Safety tools such as the X Card are always part of my table, with longer campaigns using Lines & Veils and other tools. I suffuse hope, respect, and warmth into every session I run. I offer: 🏳️🌈 A welcoming, inclusive play style 🔥 Player-focused flair and action 🧭 Open-ended storytelling 🎭 Action, horror, awe, and comedy in-game ⚖️ Settings with themes of justice and transformation 📆 Over a decade of game mastering experience 🖋️ Know-how with dozens of systems At thirteen, two friends and I huddled around the Dungeons & Dragons 3e starter set, laughing at a natural 20 to breakdown a door with the fighter's head. In high school, I found the Call of Cthulhu rulebook and made investigators with friends, still clueless how to actually play. In 2014 with the launch of D&D 5e and Call of Cthulhu 7e, I committed to running these games and an old love sparked brilliantly to life! I've since taught dozens their first TTRPG! I'm an inveterate dabbler in TTRPGs. If you're curious if I run a particular game, just ask! If I have enthusiastic players, I'm also up to the challenge to try something new. I'm running games full-time, so you can expect preparation and dedication at my table. A local game cafe and local bars also host me for game events and game mastering workshops. My newsletter and itch page also share game design reflections and projects. Images are used with permission from James' RPG Art, https://jamesrpgart.com.

What Caleb | The Gentle GM brings to the table
You can expect a welcoming table for all, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ players, as well as safety tools to ensure ongoing player consent to the mayhem of them game. I'll bring enemies to life with growling voiceacting and body language. Handouts will give enough information for players to stick to the action. Mork Borg offers lightning fast, chaotic play for an evening of absurdity, humor, and combat. By using just Discord, technical difficulties will be kept to a minimum.

How Caleb | The Gentle GM 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.
