adaption of Mörk Borg on kickstarter 
Mörk Borg is my favorite RPG of the last few years for its very elaborate aesthetic and great setting. 
Mörk Borg is a setting where the world is prophesied to end and everyone knows it.
The thing about this game is that they've adapted a 3rd Party Liscense for anyone to make homebrew content for the game and be able to sell it. Already there are 1000s of custom campaigns and characters
The core game is based off Old School Essentials with the lethality of Warhammer Fantasy and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. A more "rules-light" approach where the GM is meant to reflect the cruel and capricious nature of the doomed setting.

Cy-Borg is a sci-fi twist on Mörk Borg where the world is again doomed to apocalypse. They will allow you to take whatever from Mörk Borg over too as the world seems trapped in a cycle of suffering.

Mork Borg is trash. It's a shitty pseudo osr "setting" for midwits and nerds who have never actually read an oldschool book to circlejerk about how cool and cultured they are. As i've said before, Mork Borg is the RPG equivalent of an inner city nerd LARPing as a working class country person so they buy a pair of overalls and a carhatt jacket and $400 dollar pair of boots and think that's what being country is like. It's not the product of a bunch of punks and nerds and metalheads making an rpg out of passion and love(as its creators want you to think), it's a corporate product aping a grungy faux metal edgy aesthetic without actually being edgy or metal. Mork Borg is the same as a multi million dollar company selling a battle jacket with pins and punk patches and anarchy painted over the back; it isn't genuine. It's dishonest. It talks about being edgy and dark and gorey and weird yet on another page it rallies against any "sexism" and "rascism" and "transphobia", which actual oldschool punks and nerds gave no shits about. It appeals to bugmen and midwits who think shitty art and design equals a cool obscure punk aesthetic. It appeals to r-slurs who never used the word "zine" before finding the word on wikipedia and suddenly start making their own shitty "zines" for their shitty osr products that they begin shilling on patreon
Mork borg isn't playable, it's a shitty artbook for people to put on their coffee tables to wow their other bugmen friends about how cool and niche they are for owning mork borg
What OSRstrags don't get is that oldschool rpg art and oldschool rpgs in general wasn't designed to look like shit on purpose. It wasn't designed to look amateur, it was the product of amateurs with passion. Mork borg is the opposite of that. It's a clinical, utterly soulless "RPG" that pretends to be something that it isn't. That's why is shit and utterly irredeemable for anybody with an ounce of taste.
I hate Mork Borg because it's Reddit: the RPG. Standard shitty retroclone that imitates oldschool aesthetics. It's the $20 Patek Phillipe imitation, the Chrysler 300 with Bentley badge, Ready Player One wrapped in Ulysses dust cover. A book by fedora for fedoras. It's the quintessential pseud rpg. A pedestrian easily accessible basic clone covered in several coats of faux punk paint and featuring just enough quasi-philosophical meandering to turn away both the ones looking for a fun adventure and those looking for a serious game - it has become the Holy Grail of pseuds. Quite obviously more mentally stimulating than 5E, yet never as much as to take the viewer out of the comfort zone of the usual RPG mechanics and babby's first existential crisis - it's the perfect cultural artifact to attach to for someone desperately longing for the image of "thinking man" or "intellectual", while not actually being interested in challenging their own thoughts or developing authentic taste. It's an rpg for smart-but-lazy dropouts, for young adults who sincerely use the word "normie", for men with "So it goes" tattoos rereading Hitchhiker's Guide for the third time, for community college freshmen that write posts starting with "as an engineer", for "I love Nietzsche! Nihilism, frick yeah!" people, for those that have buried themselves so deep in irony so they can't even be honest with themselves anymore. The sort who will make fun of ham-fisted Black Mirror VR episodes in one thread and expunge upon "deep" connotations of holographic waifu in 8000 character multiposts in another, the sort who get off on reddit gold received for their standard issue incoherent teenage "philosophizing" dreck spiced with 'human condition' and 'Hegelian dialectic', the enlightened-by-their-own-intelligence crowd.

Not great. It's all style and very little substance. Everything it does is done better by other games, and there's nothing unique about it.

Cy_borg is this image personified
When a game starts with "break all the rules! Except you can't be cops because I said so and no discrimination" it's automatically turbogay
Making something allegedly punk and then charging $25 for it is also not punk

Yeah. The boilerplate response is really lame on their Liscense. I still like the material overall though

You know what is punk and anti-corpo though? A free copy of a PDF that The Man wants to charge for.

/tg/ copypastas aside, how playable are these kinds of retroclones? I always worry they might use GM fiat as an excuse to be style over substance.

Mork borg is 100% style over substance. You could pluck its setting and use any other osr system and it would be better.
Its a good starting point for people who haven't played any osr games though, because they start fearing they will die from sneezing too loud, which they will.

All I ever wanted was to love women, but their behavior has only earned my hatred. I want to have s*x with them, and make them feel good, but they would be disgusted at the prospect. They have no sexual attraction towards me. It is such an injustice, and I vehemently questioned why things had to be this way. Why do women behave like vicious, stupid, cruel animals who take delight in my suffering and starvation? Why do they have a perverted sexual attraction for the most brutish of men instead of gentlemen of intelligence?
