a rules-light,
art-heavy, TTRPG
at the end of the world.
Radiation has shaped and twisted the shattered land of the WASTE.
Beasts, bugs, and thugs try to take your life as you hack, shoot, and race your way across the sandblasted wasteland of the world that once was.
WELCOME TO THE WASTE.
Torque Borg is a 150+ page, self-contained, standalone, TTRPG based on and compatible with the award-winning MÖRK BORG. The WASTE is on the precipice of the end. Forever warped and distorted by the Bleed, splintered factions battle each other over faith, petty scraps, and slivers of old world tech.
Torque Borg is easy to learn and easier to play. Expanding on MÖRK BORG's intuitive OSR mechanics, each of the eight classes are distinct in flavor and mechanics, for a new way to play every time you find yourself on the bad side of death. Killing, scavenging, and surviving are the only laws left in the WASTE. It’s them or you.
Kill or be killed.
The WASTE and everything in it wants you dead.
The BLEED - lethal and malevolent radiation - has twisted the world, writhing, roiling, and churning in anger. If it grabs hold of you, it will tear you apart atom by atom until there is nothing left but a rotten pile of meat.
Your best hope? Die quickly. Otherwise, you may live long enough to see yourself painfully mutated and twisted from the otherworldly forces of the BLEED.

The waste has its own rules.
Rules-light doesn’t mean easy.
Torque Borg is easy to learn and easier to play. Expanding on MÖRK BORG's intuitive OSR mechanics, each of the 8 classes are distinct in flavor and mechanics, for a new way to play every time you find yourself on the bad side of death.

The waste is a malicious and cruel place.
Its denizens, doubly so.
