A medieval, post-apocalyptic zombie horror RPG
Why should you embark on this new adventure? Remember last time with the plague and the zombies? Yeah, it’s like that, but worse-better! Here are just a few reasons why The Darkest Age: Mörk BORG Edition is a must-have for any true zombie or horror-fantasy fan:
1. Awaken once again in The Darkest Age
The Black Plague devastates Europe. Those struck down by illness rise up and stalk the dead. People panic, disease spreads. Things burn, more people die. Now ash rains from the sky, the countryside smells of smoke and rot. The dead roam the land feeding on the damned, the living murder for the luxury of food. Superstitious zealots gather cults of survivors, begging and praying to dark things. Anoint yourself in this savage and bloody lore. The world of The Darkest Age is now more brutal than ever before.
2. Familiar Mörk-BORG rules
Our team has adapted The Darkest Age to the Mörk-BORG core mechanics, and incorporated feedback from players like you. Expect streamlined rules, more intuitive combat. Character classes and abilities add layers to tactical and narrative game styles, without an extra hundred pages of rules. If you don’t know Mörk-BORG, learn a bit more before you join us on this trip.
3. Stunning Artwork from Dillon Samuelson
We’re proud of both our original illustrations and our new. Prepare to be immersed in the terrifying time of the undead plague as seen from the gore-filled streets of medieval Europe.
4. Campaign-style options for Game Masters
After play-testing, a duel on the ridge, much analysis, and some tacos, new rules for fortresses and strongholds were included. Gather up your allies, whether henchmen in plunder or survivors you protect from both plague and death. Squatters in a castle are still in a castle when the dead seek to feast.
5. Community and Support
We value our community above all else. The Darkest Age: Resurrected Team hopes to grow and offer enhanced support, including online resources, active forums, and regular updates/new content to keep your adventures filled with horror and silver. This also seems like a good time to mention that this game is 18+.
Follow us then, fools and stouthearted, into these plagued lands. Dare match your skills and wit against the ruination of the oncoming Apocalypse? Gather any you trust with swords at your back and step into darkness…
“Men make different sounds when they die. The sound of a man dying of a gut wound is different than a man burning alive or dying of plague. The sound a man makes when being eaten alive, you won’t soon forget.”
More action, fewer rules. The Darkest Age Mörk BORG Edition is a new take on the zombie apocalypse.

The Plague killed half of Europe. These poor souls rose up as undead and now stalk the world, eternally hungry for warm flesh. Will you rebuild Civilization with your allies or wallow in its destruction?
In 1355, the Black Plague killed sixty percent of Europe’s population. Then, the dead rose and devoured those who were left.
The Black Plague has decimated Europe and brought with it a new sort of terror, a new sort of plague. As the sickness spreads, the Plague’s final symptom becomes apparent: the dead rise to hunt the living.
The Darkest Age is a Horror RPG set in a grim, alternate history. Enter the gritty and dangerous world of Europe in 1350, as an unusual strain of the bubonic plague ravages the countryside, and those afflicted don’t just die. Faced with extinction, the people of Europe are forced to survive in any way they can. Characters face death, disease, and the myriad undead, as well as cannibals, xenophobic city-states, and religious strife in an unending battle for the resources that mean survival.
Between waves of fear and a strange, uneasy compulsion to start playing The Darkest Age right now, you’re wondering what makes this game special? You’ve played a hundred Mörk BORG Hacks, but nothing like this one. The Darkest Age explores social and cultural conventions, as well as medieval role-playing tropes, and turns them upside down. If you’re looking for a true role-playing experience, this is it.
