Awesome video! Sorry about the small text in Solitary Depths - I'll see what I can do about that :D Glad you like it though! Also, Fisk Borg is definitely one of my all-time favourite MORK BORG supplements too, so glad you covered it!

[@TheDungeonDive]

No need to apologize! Just a request. :) It's a good supplement.

[@Matt_Forcum]

Bought both the solitary supplements. First as PDFs and then later as printed books. I love them!

[@bluebotic2327]

Well said in the intro. You and geekgamers are right. Collecting and reading game material (both RPG and board game) is part of the hobby, or maybe even its own hobby. There's 1) researching these ludic artifacts, 2) acquiring them, 3) reading and understanding them, and 4) firing up the engine and running them. These are all legit ways to experience this one-of-kind medium. I've spent a lot of time in each of these four buckets, and they're all equally rewarding.

[@TheDungeonDive]

It's so true!

[@IsaiquiaGamingOfficial]

I’ve been loving the Mork Borg content!

[@jean-sebastienh.8789]

Thank you very much for this overview!!! Really enjoy seeing what all those "expansion" for Mork Borg are about before buying (some of) them! Who am I kidding hahah! I'll probably end up buyin all of them...But glad to see them before! Thanks again! This game as more content than the Marvel franchise haha!

[@Marsh1563]

I didn't think I was very into fishing supplements for an RPG but Fisk Borg looks great. Honesty all of these supplements look really good. Daniel have you seen the Magic the Gathering based solo rpg by Gray Army Gaming here on KZbin? He's made some interesting ways to use bulk mtg cards as an entire rpg. I know you're a fan of cards so I figured I'd mention it here.

[@TheDungeonDive]

I have! I’ve even begun looking for a box of MTG commons.

[@Marsh1563]

Awesome. If its a possible topic for a future solorpg friday. I know I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas for mtg cards in an rpg. May you find a box with few duplicates and much inspiration!

[@RecklessFables]

I very much agree regarding the collecting aspect of the hobby. As I get older I am also starting to pass-on parts of my collection to make sure someone has a chance to enjoy them.

[@YukonJack88]

Subbed and Love the solid content I am going to jump into Pirate Borg here soon...

[@the_Mike_d]

As a total Mork Borg newbie (I'm really only messing around with Forbidden Psalm at this point), I had no idea there were so many creative supplements for the RPG system. That demon deck is quite creative, but I wasn't expecting an entire book on fishing! I wonder what it is about this system that inspires creators to come up with all this stuff?

[@TheDungeonDive]

It's the simplistic rules and totally open 3rd party license

[@davidwillems9904]

My Fisk Borg looks the same. But agreed, amazing supplement. Masticator gate is also fantastic.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Thanks for letting me know it’s not just my copy.

[@rylklee]

Something about Mork Borg supplements pulls every collector lever in my highly susceptible brain. Love reading them, love using them. They encourage rule bashing, stitching, and grafting and just general encouragement to choose fun over fidelity. Just an amazing system that benefits in a big way from the form and collage-like aesthetics of the materials themselves. It seems excessive, but it serves a very real purpose. Love it. Wallet, not so much, though.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Totally agree.

[@cassmi8783]

I think the reason the text of Sölitary Depths looks small is because the printed copy hasn’t quite been sized to fill the page? It looks like there’s room above and below the headers and footers. I might be wrong, but there’s less space around the text in the PDF. I often have that problem when trying to print US-formatted RPGs on ISO 216 paper because the letter size is wider but shorter than what the rest of the world uses.

[@TheDungeonDive]

It’s zine size, so it’s printed right. Most zines when printed have the tops and bottoms cut, I just don’t do that on mine. Text is tiny on the PDF as well.

[@Rathammergames]

I love all these ❤ thanks

[@chaindriven61]

Thank you for your videos.. Would you have a link of your favorite places to purchase books and game accessories? Thank you in advance! Best, Greg

[@TheDungeonDive]

I usually just google and look for what’s cheapest. I also buy a lot of things on eBay. Also, during the video there are links on the screen for certain things.

[@chaindriven61]

@@TheDungeonDive Thank you so much!🤙

[@scato]

Quick aside; "Fisk" is the word for "fish" in many of the Scandinavian languages.

[@carlangasa4622]

I remember seeing Fisk Borg and The Endless Demon Deck and though no thank you but now with this review im really interested in getting them, just a bit sad that i need the book to use the EDD. Thanks for the review! so many good supplements like Solitary .epths and Suffering Extended.

[@TheDungeonDive]

You don't need the book. You can use the book without the cards, and the cards without the book, but they work in tandem when you have them both.

[@cassmi8783]

Fisk is fish in Swedish

[@TheDungeonDive]

Is it pronounced how it’s spelled?

[@cassmi8783]

@@TheDungeonDiveIt is indeed! 🐟Like Spider-Man villain, Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin.

[@blainroman7317]

I like the Masticator Gate. I am a sucker for a campaign style adventure. One question. To play this adventure are you to use the Mork Borg yellow book or does the adventure have its own rules? Thanks.

[@TheDungeonDive]

You need the basic MB book, or a compatible system.

[@RecklessFables]

I have to wonder how a playthrough would work with a group. Just treat it like a funnel and add replacement characters without bothering to justify it?

[@GiulioCandiloro]

Waiting for "the last torch" 😎

[@TheDungeonDive]

Oh god. I've got about 200 things in line before it. :) Sorry....it'll be awhile.

[@GiulioCandiloro]

​@@TheDungeonDive mine is advice from enthusiast to enthusiast... no problem...

[@TheDungeonDive]

I will eventually cover it! :)

[@larsf92]

Have you made a video on how to print a mork borg zine?

[@TheDungeonDive]

I have not. It’s pretty easy. Use the booklet setting in Adobo. Print both sides. Here’s the important and confusing part. Keep portrait mode selected, even though it looks like you should want to switch to landscape.

[@user-nz2bb4gp2d]

How did you arrange zome of these pdf zines to be able to print them?

[@TheDungeonDive]

I just used the booklet settings / options in Adobe.

[@Spoonfed276]

How happy are you with the print quality of the Masticator Gate from DTRPG?

[@TheDungeonDive]

It’s fine.

[@7h3mon]

Not the Omens! You mean the Psalms. Omens are the other mechanic, like ability to re-roll dices.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Yep! As I always say, keeping track of my mistakes is a full time job, and it doesn't pay a thing!

[@Genghis-Pawn]

It's that time: try to track down the interesting stuff shown in the video before it all sells out after "the Dungeon Dive Bump"! JK -- I've sworn off Mork Borg FOMO until I've spent sufficient time with the sizeable stack of materials I've already collected. So for now, this video just a nice Friday afternoon treat!

[@TheDungeonDive]

Enjoy them via video. :) that’s how I enjoy most video games these days.

[@TheDungeonDive]

The nice thing about most MB stuff is that it’s almost always available digitally.

[@Genghis-Pawn]

@@TheDungeonDive This is true, but I prefer hardcopies and I have yet to land on a DIY printing regime that I find fully satisfactory. I was eyeing up the yellow cardstock you must be using for covers, need to track some of that down.

[@ewenneiertz8362]

Don't you have Forbiden psalm (Morg borg miniatures game) ? The game seems vert "fun". I would gladly watch a playthrough of your aventures !

[@TheDungeonDive]

I do! I have two videos covering it. I don’t typically do let’s plays on camera. I don’t have fun playing games on camera.

[@ewenneiertz8362]

@@TheDungeonDive Nice, i'll check that ! Your lets play have alway's been very good (Warhammer quest, Darklight, SoB). Even your solo rpg sessions. It's not as much watching you playing than lessen to you telling the story of your characters in the same Time as them evolving in the adventure. Emerging natation with a nice visual support and compréhensive rules for the World.

How could someone solo gm anything and everything to mea their own pc experience the best realistic fun they've ever had?

[@wilonascave]

It takes a bit of experience and also a lot of random tables and connecting those results to one another

[@brandonkelbe]

So pretty much daydreaming.

[@wilonascave]

@@brandonkelbe we are daydreaming, it's late right now and I am worried I am daydreaming in replying to your comment
