HELLSPAWN Prepares to Launch
A Multiversal Horror TTRPG Built on the Bones of the Borg-verse
HELLSPAWN is a standalone tabletop roleplaying game of infernal servitude, collapsing realities, and procedural dread. Designed to be fully compatible with MÖRK BORG, CY_BORG, Pirate Borg, Frontier Scum, Ronin, Vast Grimm, and CORP BORG, it reinterprets each of those settings as Dying Worlds, connected spokes on a cosmic Wheel grinding toward failure.
Players take the role of Hellspawn, damned souls reforged into hunters tasked with reclaiming escaped entities known as Malefactors. Each hunt pulls the party across worlds corrupted by heresy, rebellion, and rot. Characters are tools of a decaying system. The system is breaking.
HELLSPAWN is built for 2 to 5 players plus a GM, with rules that support single-session hunts, long-form collapse campaigns, and cross-system integration. It includes a complete character creation system, world-specific gear, torments, infernal abilities, and procedures for multiversal travel and escalation. A Collapse mechanic tracks the degradation of reality across sessions, until the Wheel fails completely.
HELLSPAWN is entirely written and laid out. The PDF will launch once the campaign is funded and closed.

Custom engine built from Borg-verse design principles. Compatible with all official third-party MÖRK BORG variants. Uses standard d20 and damage dice with procedural tables and minimal prep.
