1) By "Painfully average, you adjust no abilities", they mean roll 3d6 for each ability in order (Agility, Presence, Strength, Toughness). If you look at the other classes, you'll see some of their ability rolls have a bonus or penalty on the specific ability rolls. Wretched Royalty have no modifiers on their rolls--they just roll 3d6 for each of the four abilities.
2) After you roll the abilities, you note the modifier and then throw away the roll. Your ability score IS your modifier. You discard the actual roll---it is not used for anything other than deriving your modifiers (which are now your ability scores).
3) Your Hit Points is your Toughness modifier (as #2 above) + the die roll (d6 in the case of the Wretched Royalty). So if you had a 0 Toughness and rolled a 3 on d6, you would only have 3 HP
Thank you!! I had a feeling I was making a mistake with point one but couldn’t see what! As it turned out here at least it didn’t matter. I did actually do the rolls (as you saw if you watched the vid and noted them down so I can reconstruct it if I go back to her).
On point two, yes I did do that but in point 3 I did not, making my magic monkey decision all the better when I readjust given my terrible toughness roll.
THANK YOU for these notes.
The description is very sparse in character creation, it's really my only gripe.
If nothing else, I would buy this for the artwork alone! Superb! Thanks for the overview.
It's an amazing game aswell as an art book.
When using the "Ask the Stars" table, remember to use 2d12; don't just read across the same d12 roll. See instructions: "Getting Inspiration: Roll 2d12 and consult the Symbols and Position columns. Inspiration could be symbolic or literal. The Cage might represent Protection or Obligation or just a physical cage.
Use this to create characters and give them descriptive Strengths and Weaknesses until they feel interesting. This method also generates locations, events, and anything else you need."
Another one to add to the list of potential new solo projects - thanks GG!
Fyi: the d10 weapon „Zweihänder“ is the german name for a two-handed sword :)
Stay safe!
Thank you! I was hard to make out the letters and word with that font and I had no cues since I don’t know that word. Much appreciated.
Is it just me or is the backstory of your PC the same as Drop Dead Fred? Love it!!!
5:37 This is one of my biggest, perhaps biggest overall, complaint. I had to read the book twice before I even figured out what the core mechanic was. As an art project, it's great. As a rulebook that you'd want to use for reference (as you should with a _rulebook_) it kind of fails.
It's probably meant more for an experienced gamer, who is already aware of the basic rules of most RPGs. This game (and book) is all about atmosphere, and I think that is where it excels.
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx Yes despite the short format (wordwise and even page wise), this isn't an intro RPG....
It doesn't fail, it's just written for experienced gamers. Sure it leans heavily on style, but I for one am damned sick of how many RPG core books open with pages-worth of explanation of what an RPG is lmao
@@MrYancakes I do agree there... not sure why so many people feel the need to waste print real estate on sections called "what is an RPG?" Do board game rules come with a section called "What is a board game?"
Thank you for sharing! I bought this with the intention of making a modular dungeon "board game" and playing solo. Lol I was going to follow the heroquest layout and fill it in with m.b. style and attempt to run thru it solo :) I picked out a bunch of metal minis off Ebay that fit the bill
Your videos are always so wonderful.
That’s a cool idea you’ve had and thanks for sharing it and glad you enjoy the content.
Loving the video. I cannot finish watching it until I finish my own solo play, as I randomly rolled Wretched Royalty with the Blade of Your Ancestors. Only 1 HP though, so I shan't be long. This is my first solo experience; I really appreciate your videos/channel, it helps- and it's entertaining!
So glad you are enjoying the content! Thanks for commenting.
New to the game. Love it. This was amazingly useful. Thank you
I love this game. The unapologetic, uncensored and downright bizarre nature of the game is ironically, a breath of life into the whole RPG thing for me at least. The line between being a brutal and over-the-top world without taking itself too serious and throwing unecessary crunchiness out the window while still keeping an OSR vibe just does it for me. Wish i could get a printed copy of Feretory and Heretic though.
I totally agree with absolutely everything you write!
I paid a pdf-to-print service. Probably works out cheaper than buying the originals. Very pleased with my collection.
Thanks for showing this games that you don't see on the game store. But when you really look online you find some really interesting games.
Great video as usual! What a dark, moody and brooding RPG. I love it!
Really enjoy the character development and adventure synopsis. I love listening to your voice has you narrate a story. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much! Yes, this RPG, though short on words is long on atmosphere. I will likely be developing this a bit more, returning to the world to learn a bit more about The Pale One. Glad you enjoyed it.
Now that’s a name for a game!!!
MORK BORG
Love the art in this. So good. However, after my last review of Super Blood Harvest, I think I've FINALLY talked myself out of buying any more of these artistic RPG books for the art. I just never get to actually use them. I'll have to live through your videos for these now. :)
Do any of these really work around a table anyway? It’s hard to imagine because so much is the art ... only the GM really sees it
@@GeekGamers01 Exactly!
@@GeekGamers01 I’ve gone back on my word, and ordered the book today. Lol.
Maybe the eye is someone or something that has been watching the guy who you have been searching for, find the source of the eye and you can find where the guy you search for is.
I love that, yes!! Perfect! If she comes back-she may-I will remember your suggestion.
Great video, you should try do a play through using Sölitary Defilement with Mork Borg!
I have played with that off camera but unfortunately didn’t obtain it until after I filmed this vid. I have toyed with going back and using it but I don’t typically like to make more than one vid on a rule set.
Free league is rpg next gen
I love this game...it’s great for solo.
I was really taken by it, more so than I expected truthfully.
Murk bor-yeh. Could also be fortress/castle of darkness. This book reminds of fanzines that used to exist for rpgs. Hand typed and drawn in a mish mash of styles. Also a bit chaotic.?l very atmospheric.Galgenbeck is ‘the Gallows stream,.gal-yen-Bek
In the book it is translated as "dark fort"
@@GeekGamers01 Yes but borg is not military, more like a citadel or fortress. Festning/fæstning would be a fort. Scandinavians have to struggle with their limited pool of words when translating to English ;) For example they think f&%k means 'damn' or 'drat' in effect and conversely they have words for the devil which are still treated as really strong to use. sorry..rambling..
Thanks for for the background. I only know what I read in the book! Appreciate more context.
More, please!
I recently played this in PBF. Setting is really cool, and there's lots of flavor in the system. Very deadly though. We all died on our intro adventure (and one player died so early he got to make a second character).
I think the rules are written assuming the player already knows it's an OSR style game, but they never call it an OSR game. If you went in with the mindset of a typical D20 system, the rules probably would have made more sense, but they shouldn't write the rules that way. They should have used clearer language so MB is easier to play on its own, especially for new players who haven't been playing for 30+ years.
I love the character stand, by the way. A great way to give your character more presence when they're not a mini on a battlemat.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I don't have a lot of minis so need to be creative when I can...
yes, I do think the rules are written with a lot of assumptions (and I failed to note that in my vid).
On my first read on the book I had the feeling that the values at 20:24 is to be intended as the price one has to pay to the follower for the help
Hmm Interesting interpretation. Upon looking again, I think it is just a shorthand way to give the NPC a bit of flavor/background/personality.
Excellent video !

One time I generated a donkey , and decided roll play for it, and my generate character was it's brainwashed slave
Right on the back of the front cover, you have a "traps and devilry" table, were are the stats for that? Anyone has a clue?
You can put the name in Google Translate in Swedish and play the pronunciation. In swedish G is pronounced as "ee" (or IPA "i").
Don’t forget to burn the book !
Can you actually play it "SOLO" without the Solitary defilement module?
This video attempts to show just that.
Where did you get the cool tiles?
Dungeon Saga: The Infernal Crypts. I should note this in the vid description. They are cool!
Where can you get this game?
Amazon and elsewhere. You can just google and find lots of places for it
@@GeekGamers01 I found the game and I am liking the setting!!
Great to hear!
It might help if you read the book first and understand it before commenting on it and not butchering your vid :( what a waste... )
Have to disagree here. Sometimes I do vids that show what it’s like to open a rule book and start playing. Sometimes mistakes are made. I still had fun playing and it was far from a waste.
I know few people that read rulebooks from start to finish, THAT would be a waste
