The Molt: Core Book

Each triumphant day that passes, Humanity inches closer to its inevitable destruction!

Here, 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? Will you stand by and watch as the earth sheds its outer crust, making way for the Kör and its inhabitants to overcome humanity? Or will you rise up, ripping off the scabs that are Galgenbeck, Kergüs, and the like?

What is The Molt?

The Molt is a self-contained, rules-light RPG based on and compatible with Mörk Borg.

Set in the center of the Mörk Borg planet, players take on the role of monstrous creatures hellbent on destroying the humans so their god can return to traverse the earth.
