DUKK BÖRG

Physical editions available for purchase here!

Once the gleaming jewel of Calikota, a fowl wind now blows down the streets of DUKK BÖRG, abandoned by all but those foolish enough to travel there and those cruel enough to survive. The treasures of long dead merchant-emperors call to you, and so you and your clan have flocked as birds of a feather to almost certain ruin. Mysteries are yours to solve, histories are yours to be written. For every day you will be out there, facing...

DUKK BÖRG!

DUKK BÖRG is a grindhouse fantasy tabletop 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 MÖRK BORG, DUKK BÖRG introduces characters, places, and treasures found long after the McDuck clan’s adventures have finished, the moon has exploded, and the sun has turned red in its dying days.

In DUKK BÖRG 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 you’re 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 Börg 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 BÖRG!

Designed for compatibility with the award-winning tabletop rpg MÖRK BORG (2020, Stockholm Kartell), DUKK BÖRG takes the beauty and brutality of MÖRK 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 MÖRK BORG compatibility of DUKK BÖRG ensures that the characters, settings, and other elements of DUKK BÖRG may be played as a standalone game, or alongside those of MÖRK BORG for delightful, if horrifying, juxtaposition.

"It’s amazing to get this much entertainment from [a ttrpg] just by reading it. I think DUKK BÖRG deserved an Award because it did something that no other RPG supplement I can remember reading has done, not even comedy games: it made me laugh out loud while alone at my computer."
- Sam Dunnewold, former editor at The Onion, Funny or Die, and Team Coco

“Every now and then you come across something that’s so good you have to wonder how nobody thought of it before. And so it is with DUKK BÖRG, the fowl new adaptation of popular OSR fantasy world Mörk Borg… It’s every bit as ridiculous as it sounds in the best way.”
- J.R. Zambrano, Bell of Lost Souls

“Writing-wise, DUKK BÖRG is glorious. It knows exactly what it's doing and how silly its straight-faced Duck Tales OSR concept is, but it commits. It's easy to get immersed in this tale of duck liches and cruel wealth, and that takes some serious chops to pull off.”
- Richard Kelly of Sprinting Owl Designs (@sprintingowl)

“[DUKK BÖRG]’s a gem in its own right.”
