GMG Reviews - FORBIDDEN PSALM by KRD Designs

[@Chzbrgrlulz]

All the Warcry Models and Terrain are going to work beautifully for this game. Excited to see them get a new use.

[@Yesbryn]

I'm in. I love the graphic design and overall aesthetic of Mork Borg RPG books and I love miniatures skirmish games, hopefully I can get a book for this as a PDF just won't cut it.

[@Demolitiondude]

I was already started painting minis for mörk borg. By the gods of metal... I'm chosen!

[@mattj1871]

All hail the Gods of METAL!

[@chrispenrose8710]

I love the happy little grin on your face during character creation

[@SPACENOMADMALEV]

I bet Rain the Smoothest throws down some dope rhymes

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

His science is tight.

[@caseyrogers7538]

over some Evil Beats

[@Pengi_SMILES]

I backed the kickstarter for this, mostly on the strength of the art! Great to see you supporting it, looking forward to seeing your games!

[@jgodwin17]

Ash, I just wanted to swing by to say, I had never heard of this game before your review the other night. Even though I play Mork Borg somewhat regularly (and backed several of their KS projects), it eluded me. Your review sounded amazing and I picked the game up based on it. I had never played a solo miniatures game before either, but opt to spend Sunday night stating up some minis I had laying around and playing through the first two scenarios. It was an absolute blast! So many absurd moments and laughs. Thanks for creating this and helping develop me hobby in new ways! Much appreciated man!

[@slyliquid4985]

As a Mork Borg fan this is a must buy. Love how it can fold into the rpg. Steller work on their part.

[@m.e.3862]

I'm also interested in the sci Fi variant cy-borg which is coming out according to the website

[@slyliquid4985]

@@m.e.3862 Got a link for that? Did not hear about that coming out.

Maybe "The Fast" doesn't eat for long periods for some sort of ritual reasons. Evil Beats is obviously a wanting to hear the end of his mix-tape and cares for little else :D This game looks a lot of fun. "... (and likely die)" is a great bit of flavour text. The fact that your leader can move 1" per turn really made me giggle. In the combat rules, I think that "This -3 is negated if another friendly model is also within 1" of the enemy attacker." applies to the target. So, if you attack a lone target, the target is on -3 to hit you back; however, if the target has a friend within 1" of the attacker, the target can hit back without the -3 modifier. I love, "... your warband gets bored." as a finish to a scenario. I'm going to be looking for a copy of these rules are sound even more simple and fun than Rangers of Shadow Deep; mainly because of the random warband generator.

[@shinankoku2]

Reminds me of a nineties RPG called Hōl. it has that punk aesthetic about it. Of course, Hōl wasn’t really playable. This looks ... you know ... like you can play it.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

I mean in HOL you could die during character creation or be born with no thumbs... the Chart Chart was cruel lol

[@IsenMike]

Heads up: I think your dwarf should have 10 HP rather than 8, based on his Toughness.

[@joox7364]

you've probably figured this out by now but thought i'd mention it. in the combat section where you talk about the counter attack i think you mis-read it. the counter is not cancelled by having a friendly nearby. what happens is the -3 mod to the counterattack is cancelled if the model being attacked is near a teammate. A -> B, b has -3. A->B, C, b has no -3 cuz he's near C

[@patrioticmucus2329]

Came here because of the recent Kickstarter. Thanks for your review man!

[@Wildonion1]

Got my pdf and my Frostgrave warband. Now I just need to get some monsters together. Thanks for showing off the book, Ash! Looking forward to the game.

[@squange]

I think you've got that strike back/doubling up mechanic backwards Ash. My reading of it is if you're doubled up on an opponent and he strikes at you, you don't suffer the -3 modifier to your reaction attack. That way everyone is throwing more fists and it encourages you to doubleteam guys in case they survive the encounter and try to poke you in their activation.

[@ozstrider]

I have never heard of this or Mörk Borg and after watching this and an afternoon of reading....yep, I'm obsessed. Definitely going to grab a print copy as soon as I can. Looking forward to the Lets Plays.

[@tomryan3768]

Artbook RPGs are a deep rabbithole. Check out 'Ultraviolet Grasslands' and 'Troika' too.

[@marcoantoniosalazarmatamor9496]

Buyer beware in that it’s a pretty grim dark setting and getting killed is easy. OTOH, it’s so metal it’s crazy. Every single page looks like a metal cover.

[@Warghoul]

@@tomryan3768 ikr! I am spending too much cash, lol

[@kylereesman9952]

Bought these rules because of your battle reports. Had some confusion on list building thanks for this review

[@andrewpepper-parsons9630]

The book looks amazing. The pages look so striking even via a mobile phone screen.

[@Rathammergames]

Can’t wait to see gameplay, generating the warband looks fun! I heart random tables.

[@6inTruder]

Literally clicked on this thinking, "What, is this some Mork Bork miniature game spin off?" LoLs!

[@schoonerlabs4656]

The back is very True Detective season 1. Very cool and unique look to the book. Nice seeing some variety from standard game manuals.

[@shinankoku2]

Reminds me of Hōl.

[@cell32005]

Finally! The diy/osr RPG production has been turning out amazing book artefacts for a while now, about time someone did the same for tabletop! That move value though ...

[@MrLeviathan40k]

Oh, that is sweet. Looking forward to the gameplay video. Had to stop and download the pdf. Love Mörk Borg! And rolled for my solo play warband by now. 2 of 5 characters are afraid of Monster. That will be helpful 🤣

[@robertcanavan8488]

This looks really cool, I'll keep an eye out for another print run.

[@Deabru3]

Good job! Great reaview of a really cool book! I cant wait to see a battle rep!

[@m.e.3862]

Eagerly waiting for your playthrough 😊👍

[@Hundmathr]

This looks like hilarious fun. Totally giving off a Korgoth of Barbaria vibe, and I dig the Zine style rulebook. Can't wait to see the metal adventures of your band of misfits.

[@ghostwood9174]

This looks like a book you’d find on the back of a toilet at a dive bar; I love it 🤘

[@WesternTabletop]

The presentation is absolutely beautiful, game seems pretty interesting too. I'm keen looks like you've made another sale OptimisticNIL!

[@charlesstampley5821]

Thank you for reviewing more indie games!

[@CorbinatorLoL]

Looks super cool. Thumbs up for RE:4 reference. ❤️

[@timothyyoung2962]

Mad up a quick team the other night (used names and titles from both the first book and In The Footsteps of The Mad Wizard). Ended up with a Plague Doctor Magpie The One Most Foul (Medic/Putrid Smell from all the nasty smelling potions and poisons he carries), A caster with scrolls Winter The Keeper of Names (Weak Bodied/What We Do In The Shadows, so she's cursed with a magical vampirism. Scrolls: Not Dead Yet/Ride The Lightning. She can raise the dead, but must feed on the living to survive), Ranger type named Esheg The Deadly (Loner/Slippery When Wet, antisocial ranger who hates most of her own party), Dewey The Backstabber (Slow Learner/Feint & Disarm), Marxillo The Dog (Greasy Hands/Swindler, friend to Dewey and overall slob who never wipes the barbecue rat grease of his bandit hands). I also made up a 6th party member because I felt like it (and can add more in the expansion so why not) Lofgren The Biggest (Angry/Meat Head, so he's twice as big, twice as dumb, and twice as angry). Overall it was really fun to just see what kind of misfit party members you can make up. I'll probably make a whole other team just because. Used some of the new minis Reaper Miniatures has been coming out with for the team (they're pretty nice).

[@ellesse3862]

I really like the layout and visual design of the rulebook, I would buy a hardcopy. The game world sounds fun and kooky and the mechanics are pleasingly uncluttered, seems like you'll soon absorb them within a game or two.. which is great when remembering things is a challenge. The generation charts are a hoot. This should be in print, it really should.

[@Myhayv]

Seems like a lot of fun. Pity I can't find a physical copy yet.

[@tomemaster1744]

This looks really interesting. I always find stuff like DnD and other PnP RPGs hard to process without some kind of miniatures which why I like Tabletop Skirmish/RPG/Wargames because you can visualize what's happening. This reminds me a lot of Diablo in aesthetic though.

[@andywang7875]

Very cool! I loved the character generation. The art looks really nice as well (by nice i mean gross, of course)

[@hatartshop1098]

Hey ! I did some of the art for the book, and got a copy, it was a lot of fun to get this much freedom for gross stuff! Glad you liked it ^^

[@dannypockets]

Keen to see some games!

Looks very interesting love to get the actual book if it ever available in the UK

[@yellowbellytabletop]

Have you and Jay considered doing some sort of Realm of Chaos campaign with all that entails? Have you ever done one in the past? That would be great content.

[@thebrewgeek]

Ordered! 👍👍

[@Toirneachgames]

Tried this week-end (1VS 1 with wendigos ghouls in the middle and a strange/funny scenario). I would say it is very true the Morg Börg spirit ^^. Only one survivor in each warband (the ones who fled, strangely). The others died a gruesome death :/.

[@kimie7479]

Awesome vid!

Please paint your minis in the grim dark style Ash

Shouldn't The Fast have 8 equipment slots, my guy?! 5 + Strength 3 = 8? I don't wanna see The Fast come unstuck without any equipment!

[@Rathammergames]

So lorewise you just create your own world?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

It’s set in the MöRK BORG RPG universe so there are a ton of books of background out there for it.

[@alexdevilbat]

It's too bad it's not currently in print. I love these digest indie tabletop games that double as gonzo art books. A PDF just doesn't do it for me, though.

Back in print in a few weeks I hear!
