MCV presents a new segment on the podcast. Join David as he along with his friends (Scott, Gregg, Alex and Darryll) play the table-top RPG called MÖRK BORG. What is MÖRK BORG? Simply put and in the publisher's own words. It's a DOOM METAL album of a game. A spiked FLAIL to the FACE. Light on rules, heavy everything else. One day, all will blacken and burn. MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black apocalyptic fantasy RPG about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness, or the last remaining riches in a bleak and dying world.

They dive into the characters, their inspirations, changes made to the classic literary works in the new narrative, and the complex tale it tells. Join them as we travel back to London in 1891.
