Pharmagothica is a full conversion hack that adapts MÖRK BORG to a post apocalyptic biohorror setting.

With it, you get 137 pages of game, including:

  • Overhauled core rules, emphasizing resource management and decision making
  • New classes: Striker, Survivalist, Improvisor, Viral Messiah, Waste Mutant, Genearch
  • New weapons, armor, tools, vehicles, allies, and a crafting system
  • Ammunition, inventory upgrades, and jobs
  • A Viral Powers system, two Viral Powers lists, and the danger of Breaking from infection
  • A complete bestiary
  • And a starter scenario, Cleaning House

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CW - The usual Mork Borg grimness, plus body and medical horror, as well as a gothic techno-thriller atmosphere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Pharmagothica Material:

  • Wear & Tear adds equipment maintenance, new equipment, new Viral Powers, new side jobs, and four new Classes
  • Enemies Closer adds faction mechanics, fleshes out the lore, and gives rewards and consequences for taking missions for the gunwright cartels.
  • Enter The Horror provides support for playing solo games using the Pharmagothica ruleset.

What People Are Saying About Pharmagothica:

  • "A detailed alternate history setting with mechanics emphasizing resource management, body horror, and tactical dismemberment." Ex Libris

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Making Your Own Pharmagothica Content:

  • Pharmagothica Content has to abide by the overarching Mork Borg License (which is very creator-friendly!) but I'm happy to provide support for making Pharmagothica-specific things.
  • Pharmagothica Content can be commercial, so long as it follows the rules on the credits page.
  • "XXXX is based on Pharmagothica, which is CC BY NC 4.0 by Richard Kelly, but permits commercial works by creators who are not a large company and who are not making the world worse. XXXX is CC 4.0 YYYY."
  • If anyone wants to work with the same color palette, the black pages are RGB 0, 0, 0, the gray pages are RGB 231, 232, 233, and the red is RGB 177, 43, 0

Question, has a fillable Character Sheet been made for this game?

Not yet. There's a regular character sheet, but I'm not really sure how to make fillable ones so I haven't made any of those for my games yet. If it's something you look for in ttrpgs, I can take a shot at making one. Just let me know.

Apologies, my group is almost exclusively online, so a fillable sheet simply makes it easier to convince them on games such as these.

I have heard that if you do want to try your hand at making one, the main recommendation I have heard is using a pdf editor.

No worries! I'll take a crack at it. I should have an update on this by midweek---either the actual fillable sheet or a tech issue if I ran into one.

Added! Form fillable and regular character sheets have been added as separate pdfs.

This is possibly one of the most unique settings/themings I've seen for a TTRPG! I'm really excited to look into it, thank you so much for making this and some of your other work have community copies available <3 I've been eyeing MÖRK BORG and its related systems and hacks for a bit and your work might be what helps me break into it!

Mork Borg's rad! I took some liberties with rewiring the mechanics, but it's a really solid base system. Please feel free to check out Cthork Borg and Morbo's as well! I try to make sure everything has community copies; if it runs out, I'll fill it back up.

I have a pipe dream of running a Phyrexian themed Mörk Borg one shoot. I guess you made this dream some steps closer.

Feel free to grab any tech from this that would fit the concept!

hot damn! Excited to dig into this, any plans for a physical release like you did for CB? 

Yes, absolutely! I'm going to wait at least a week to see if I catch any post-release bugs, and then there'll be a longer wait after that for print proofing and shipping, but I do plan to do a softcover and hardcover for Pharmagothica.
