A grimdark sci-fi TTRPG inspired by The Expanse, Alien and Dead Space. Rules-lite and vibe-heavy. A mining laser straight to the helmet.

Mörk Sol is a space horror TTRPG about found family, survival, and finding purpose in an uncaring universe. Compatible with Mörk Borg and Cy_borg and inspired by media like The Expanse, Alien, The Dispossessed, and Dead Space.

  • The horror of Mothership meets the explosiveness of Vast Grimm.
  • Seamless Combat Systems: blast the aliens infesting your ship on the same turn your crew-mate fires a rail gun at incoming pirates!
  • The Mörk Borg rules you love at the speed of light. No hex-grids; revolutionary relative position battle map!
  • CY_BORG’s dystopia launched into orbit; rip freedom from the jaws of an entropic galaxy.
  • No spreadsheets; track your loot with Cargo Tags and the Cargo Die.

At a glance, this is a standalone sci-fi action horror TTRPG with ~140 pages of content, including…

  • A unique setting filled with competing factions, marvels of science, horrifying alien life, and thousands of planets just waiting to be (rolled) discovered.
  • 9 Jobs, 8 Classes, and 4 optional Origins to bring life to your characters, each with additional roll tables. Over 10,000 unique combinations!
  • Rules and roll tables to build your custom Skip: your home; your fortress; your only hope. As much a character as any Skav.
  • Nullmarks, Null-bleeds, and the other ways NULL’s encroaching influence will bring your Skav power (and annihilation).
  • Hundreds of weapons, items, and upgrades for both Skips and Skavs.

  • Rules for all the stuff that will probably kill you: radiation; gravity wells; the vacuum of space; unstable hulls; scourge rot; and the horrors that lurk in the dark between the stars.
  • Rules for all the other stuff that will definitely kill you: space pirates; Syndicate enforcers; CoreSec military scum; alien wildlife; and the seemingly endless hordes of scourge-warped monstrosities.
  • Roll tables to breathe life into every planet, skip dashboard, and space suit.
  • Rules for how to fight all that stuff that wants to kill you, both off and on your Skip. Regardless of where you fight, combat works and feels the same: awesome|terrifying|fun|brutal.
  • An introductory mission - A Ray of Light from Synthetic Dawn - to get your Skavs started.

Fight → Skavenge → Upgrade → Repeat until you die, or the galaxy does.
