Jurassic Park is the best dino-horror-action film of all time, and Mork Borg is the best doom metal apocalyptic RPG of all time. So of course it’s time to mash the two together! And who better to play through it than Enter The Nerdom?
Mork Park is a quick-play rule hack that takes Mork Borg. I streamlined it ever so slightly with inspirations from Death In Space, and might have been guided by a few design choices from Shadowdark. But I really wanted to convey the survival-horror aspect of scrounging gear to make it out alive, so I tacked on inventory usage inspired by Mausritter. The presentation ultimately lands on…
…Mork Borg’s 2-page rules cheat sheet with Mausritter’s usage system built-in, rather than tacked on.
Oh, and I thought of a neat way to bring in a streamlined version of the panic rules from ALIEN The Roleplaying Game. Since we played ALIEN on the podcast before, but kind of got rushed to wrap up the scenario, I thought it would be cool to revisit an element of that in what is sure to be a much more action-oriented scenario.
Enter The Nerdom will be recording the actual play episode soon. As soon as it releases, I’ll follow up with post including everything I used to run the game:
- Mork Park GM Screen: Inserts for a 3-panel Game Moderator Screen in landscape format, including all the rules (1 page), tables (1 page), and survival gear (1 page) you need to play the scenario.
- Mork Park – The Adventure: Character creation, scenario background, introductory text, an adventure outline for a one-shot (with room for loads more adventuring if you wish to include event dice and a point crawling style of play), an optional Doom Clock of various catastrophic events, and a handy encounter tracker for handling initiative order.
- Mork Park Character Sheet: A single page, landscape format character file custom built for the rules of the game.
Need maps and tons more material for inspiration? Check out the free fan-made Jurassic Park: Edge of Chaos, a full narrative TTRPG for the original Jurassic Park movie complete with character files, loads of maps, and tons of background material. It was a great inspirational tool, but is not necessary to run the scenario.
