Dukk Borg RPG Core Book

Introduction

DUKK BRG is a grindhouse fantasy role playing game about duck-human hybrids banding together in pursuit of death or treasure before the world ends. Inspired by the beloved Saturday morning cartoon DuckTales and the apocalyptic doom metal ttrpg MRK BORG, DUKK BRG introduces characters, places, and treasures found long after the McDuck clans adventures have finished, the moon has exploded, and the sun has turned red in its dying days.

In DUKK BRG you are the treasure hunters and gizmo speakers that seek to be the richest ducks of a dying world. You will form your own clan of found family, hoping that together youre smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies. You will face off against witches and crime syndicates, seek out ancient treasures, explore the doomed city of Dukk Brg and the surrounding Calikotan environs, and watch helplessly as apocalyptic psalms based on the classic theme song tick down to doom. Life is truly like a hurricane here in DUKK BRG!

Designed for compatibility with the award-winning tabletop rpg MRK BORG (2020, Stockholm Kartell), DUKK BRG takes the beauty and brutality of MRK BORG and uses them to emphasize what we all loved about DuckTales: unlikely heroes, high stakes adventure, found family, and the pursuit of outrageous wealth that can all be found amongst the wreckage of racecars, lasers, and aeroplanes. The MRK BORG compatibility of DUKK BRG ensures that the characters, settings, and other elements of DUKK BRG may be played as a standalone game, or alongside those of MRK BORG for delightful, if horrifying, juxtaposition.
