Another reason I like zines? Because I grew up going to punk rock shows.

They were my very first intro to self publishing and they left a big impact.

(This was before the internet was what it is today, because I’m pretty much a dinosaur at this point.)

It was like reading someone’s personal blog, but with so much more intention. And the person who wrote it usually handed it to you. Obviously, I put out a few as a teen, too. How could I not? I didn’t combine zines and RPGs until many years later.

I think this is also something I find really cool about Mork Borg. It’s encouraged a huge way of DIY materials like so few other things have.

The community around it is amazing and creative. It’s one of the benefits of having a minimal rules chassis – you can strap whatever you want onto it.

But anyway, I ramble. The page above is for another Mork Borg adventure I’m working on. The format is absolutely inspired by Tower of the Devil-Born Magister. Lots of random encounters, lots of tables to play with.

Long live zines. And punk rock.
