Have you ever used the Mörk Borg System for any of your tabletop roleplaying games? This is one of the newest RPG systems out there; it's the system that will be used by the upcoming Four Borg game (currently on Kickstarter), and is already being used by Pirate Borg, Fey Borg, Dukk Borg, and of course Mörk Borg itself. Wikipedia has the following to say about it:
As I've said before in the other threads, the D20 System is the undeniable favorite for tabletop RPGs today, but there are plenty of options out there for those who don't like D20 or might be looking for something different. My goal in these little surveys is to highlight the different systems and options available to tabletop fans...we aren't here to bash anyone's favorites. So! If you've used the Mörk Borg System, I'd really like to hear about your experience. What did you like/dislike about it? What games did you play? What music do you use as your soundtrack? And if you've never played it or one of the many successful games that use it, what's stopping you? I'll collect everyone's votes and give the system a "grade" from A+ to F, just for fun.
Grade: B
Of those who voted, 96% have heard of it but only 38% have played it.
Of those who have played it: 36% love it, 32% like it, 21% are lukewarm, 7% dislike it, and 4% hate it.

Mörk Borg is a tabletop role-playing game inspired by heavy metal music, created by Swedish game designers Pelle Nilsson and Johan Nohr and published by Free League in February 2020. The game features dark themes, frequent character death, and a doom metal playlist. The title means "dark castle" in Swedish.
Mörk Borg has inspired extensive third-party content.
Mörk Borg uses 20-sided-dice rolls with character stat modifiers. It is rules-light.
Mörk Borg won four ENNIE Awards in 2020: three Gold Ennies for "Product of the Year," "Best Writing," and "Best Layout and Design," and one Silver ENnie for "Best Game." In 2021, Mörk Borg Cult: Feretory won the Gold ENnie for "Best Supplement." In 2022, the Mörk Borg Digital Monster Generator won the Gold ENnie for "Best Aid/Accessory - Digital." The same year, the Mörk Borg online tool DNGNGEN won the Gold ENnies for "Best Online Content" and the Silver ENnie for "Best Aid/Accessory - Digital."

The "grade" is calculated as follows:
The grading formula:
GPA = Σ(PiVi)
where:
Key
Over 3.75 = A+
3.51 to 3.75 = A
3.26 to 3.50 = A-
3.01 to 3.25 = B+
2.76 to 3.00 = B
2.51 to 2.75 = B-
2.26 to 2.50 = C+
1.76 to 2.25 = C
1.51 to 1.75 = C-
1.26 to 1.50 = D+
1.01 to 1.25 = D
0.75 to 1.00 = D-
Under 0.75 = F
- Votes from people who have not played it will not affect the grade.
- "I love it" votes are worth 4 points. The highest score, comparable to an "A" vote.
- "It's pretty good" votes are worth 3 points. The equivalent of a "B" vote.
- "It's alright I guess" votes are worth 2 points. This is your basic "C" vote.
- "It's pretty bad" votes are worth 1 point. This is considered a "D" vote.
- "I hate it" votes are worth 0 points. The lowest score, considered an "F" vote.
The grading formula:
GPA = Σ(PiVi)
where:
GPA = "grade-point average," the grading score used in the Key below.
Vi = percentage of votes in each category (Love, Like, Meh, Dislike, or Hate)
Pi = corresponding score for that category (4, 3, 2, 1, or 0)
