Demon Dog is a Morg Borg compatible setting from Nightfall Games’ Dave Allsop and Jared Earle.
These are two of the creative talent behind the grimdark and anti-capitalist SLA Industries and both are familiar with Kickstarter successes.
Shortly after announcing Demon Dog, Nightfall had to delay the game as Kickstarter re-wrote/clarified rules on overlapping campaigns. But, the alert page is live and due to launch on the 16th.
You’ll see some of the evocative art on display in this post, and Geek Native has a press exclusive on two of the demons. So, let’s look at them now.
The Demon Lords: Blortsyth & Fenchnalt
You died. It’s very sad. Get over it.
In the game, you’re dead. Nightfall explain;
Luckily for you, you negotiated with one of the six Demon Barons and you get to finish your unfinished business. Go get revenge, seek redemption and … um, oh yeah, you made a pact. You’d better do what the demon wants too.
As a Demon Dog, you get to wander the world, dealing with all those people who deserve a bit of a shoeing. There’s the Clergy and their inquisitors that could do with tasting a headbutt and they’ve got churches to burn. There’s the press that peddle lies to the gullible with an open ear and they might not like it if their scriveners get a wee bit stabbed. What about the toffee-nosed monarchy and their loud-mouthed guards, they might want to go home in an ambulance wagon. Give it some welly.
But don’t forget your Demon Baron needs stuff doing. Sometimes that’s a bit less fun; other times, it’s right up your street. Wayhey!
It’s a game of revenge and redemption, punk style.
The small-format 80-page book will be full-colour and will be in a style that Morg Borg fans will recognise. The setting has locations for Dogs to go drink, get kicked out and start fights. There’s loads of creatures and baddies.
Dave Allsop, Nightfall’s Creative Director, told the press;
It’s great fun coming up with weird monsters in a new setting, especially knowing that the players will have such fun stabbing them in the face. Getting to create a new, exciting Mörk Borg setting, and putting a punk twist on it, is invigorating.”
The punk vibe shouldn’t be understated, as it is a big part of the setting’s inspiration. Production Director Jared Earle explained;
We grew up with Punk and it’s an untapped aesthetic in RPGs. Our love of Mörk Bork and Punk led us to come up with this setting of revenants with unfinished business. It’s unlike anything we’ve done before but it’s very much a Nightfall Games setting.”
Nightfall is currently wrapping the production of both the Terminator RPG and SLA Industries: Collateral which meets Kickstarter’s guidelines for running projects, giving Jared and Nightfall enough headroom to run another campaign.
MD Mark Rapson added;
I’ve been enjoying seeing the designs coming out of Dave and Jared’s fevered brains, and am looking forward to seeing how much fun the players will have in this irreverent setting. It’ll be great to produce something fun before we return to our more serious settings, like the upcoming StokerVerse Roleplaying Game.”
