The OraKVLT

Tools for Grimdark OSR RPGs

OraKVLT is a sandbox grid-crawler add-on for dark fantasy role playing games with an emphasis on settlement-to-settlement travel and dungeon-to-dungeon delving. 

The toolkit was initially designed to facilitate solo-play of Mork Borg by Stockholm Kartel but it is well suited for use in a wide range of single- or multi-player games; a quest is a quest, and a settlement is a settlement! The game is mechanics-forward to serve as inspiration in the development of your own campaigns in bleak and barren landscapes.

Key Sections:

  • Character Creation Guidelines
  • Quest Generator
  • Settlement Generator
  • Overland Travel Generator (aka Settlement Surroundings)
  • Dungeon Generators
  • General Adventuring Guidelines
  • Gaming Aids (Party & Quest Worksheet)
