Cöwborg - Core Rules (First Addition)
A downloadable game
Cöwborg is a grimdark, apocalyptic, acid Western tabletop RPG set in the old West during the encroaching doom of the end times. In these forsaken badlands, there are drifters chasing dreams of gold and sinners seeking a final shot at redemption. Some whisper that the end can be staved off and that maybe fate can still be fought. Yet here you are, stumbling through dust and despair.
Out here, you are what you own, and that ain’t much.
So, grip your rusted revolver, utter your final prayers, and embrace the dust and darkness.
It is the only mercy you will find…
Cöwborg is a complete game based on and compatible with the award-winning doom art-punk RPG Mörk Borg using their 3rd party license.
The PDF contains the core rules, a small bestiary and the introductory crawl ‘The Coyote’s Throat’.
Pages: 72.
Version V1.3.

I can't help but notice that the Curse Miner says, "Strong, roll 2d6+2 for Strength. Been down in the dark for too long, roll 3d6-1 for Agility and Presence."
I like the narrative idea, but mechanically 2d6+2 = 9 on average and 3d6-1 = 9.5 on average, which does not match the idea that they are strong but lack agility and presence.
Was this a typo or an intentional mechanical choice?
Hi there, just checked again and that's a typo, so we'll get that fixed in the next update! Thanks for flagging this. It should be:
Strong, roll 3d6+2 for Strength. Been down in the dark for too long, roll 3d6 + 1 for Agility and Presence. The idea was that Agility and Presence have been honed somewhat over time in the depths of a mine.
Great, I was going to run a oneshot to introduce this to my players. Just figured that has to be a typo
No worries, and thanks for flagging it. Hope you and they enjoy the game! :-)
