Today's guest Brian Colin joins us to talk about The Mold for Mork Borg. Beneath the surface of the planet an intense heat has been boiling and bubbling, waiting to erupt. For centuries, the denizens of the Kör have awaited the widening of a crack large enough for the Molt to commence. And now, in Grift, one such rupture has torn a gash through the human realm. How long will it take for the transformation of the Molt to complete? The Molt is a self-contained, rules-light RPG based on and compatible with Mörk Borg.
