TORQUE BORG is a rules-light, art-heavy TTRPG at the end of the world. The book is a 150+ page, self-contained TTRPG based on and compatible with the award-winning MÖRK BORG, CY_BORG and Wasteland Degenerates. However, they are NOT required to play. You can rip out and use the setting, classes, rules, and tables for play in your favorite TTRPG.

Radiation has shaped and twisted the shattered land. Beasts, bugs, and thugs try to take your life as you hack, shoot, and race your way across the sandblasted wasteland of the world that once was.  

THE GAME

RULES-LIGHT, ART-HEAVY: Torque Borg is easy to learn and easier to play. Expanding on MÖRK BORG's intuitive OSR mechanics, each of the six classes are distinct in flavor and mechanics, for a new way to play every time you find yourself on the bad side of death. Killing, scavenging, and surviving are the only laws left in the WASTE. It’s them or you. Kill or be killed. 

Inside Torque Borg you will find:

• 150+ pages of art, rules, and crunch
• 6 Factions: The inhabitants and their place in the WASTE.
• 8 Unique Classes: Wretched Headhunter, Doomed Acolyte, Savage Beastmaster, Unbridled Esper, Mutated Biopunk, Bloodied Butcher, Insidious Artificer and the Unstable Cultist.
• Vehicles and Vehicular Combat Rules: Tear across the wasteland in your own personal ride, but be prepared to defend it with your life. Vehicle combat is aggressive, lethal, and retains a fast-paced tempo.
• Vehicle Mods: Adapt your ride with 36 mods. Weapons, defense, and utility mods may just save your life. 
• DOOMSDAY Clock: Events will escalate the tensions of the WASTE to their breaking point, advancing the Doomsday clock. Only 6 minutes until midnight remain until the second end of the world.  
• 50+ Enemies: Dangerous mutated beasts, bugs, thugs, and astral horrors from beyond to kill or be killed by, plus enemy generators. Fully illustrated.  
• 12 Devastating Augs: Powerful psychic abilities can be awakened during your encounters with radiation. 20 twisted backlashes for when they go wrong. 
• Radiation and Mutations: Manage your exposure or be forever Mutated, acquiring game changing abilities - and their drawbacks.
• PLUS: Loot and equipment tables, drugs, diseases, quest, job and location generators, and more. 

The WASTE and everything in it wants you dead. The BLEED - lethal and malevolent radiation - has twisted the world writhing, roiling, and churning in anger. If it grabs hold of you, it will tear you apart atom by atom until there is nothing left but a rotten pile of meat.

Your best hope? Die quickly. Otherwise, you may live long enough to see yourself painfully mutated and twisted from the otherworldly forces of the BLEED.

AI writing and image generation is antithetical to art. It sucks, it's wasteful, and frankly, everything it vomits out looks like garbage. We don't need it to make cool shit.  

Torque Borg is on discord, come hang out and chat! Discord is a great way to pop in and ask any lingering questions you may have, or if you just want to hang out with other wasters!
