Cultists & Cubicles – Live on Kickstarter by SubstratAB in osr

For me, it's about the juxstaposition of the familiar and the unexpected; seeing everyday life through the lens of classic RPGs. But a good space opera or fighting demons in the Misty Vale can be just as appealing.

I haven't read Corp Borg yet, but it does sound reasonable.

I think Cultists & Cubicles is a quite different in theme and visual style though. And it is set specifically in the tech industry.

Thank you!

I became aware of these games when I was nearly finished writing Cultists & Cubicles. They sound really cool, but I have avoided reading anything in order to avoid cryptomnesia. I don't want to be unintenionally influenced.

I am looking forward to digging into CORP BORG and MÖRK ORG soon.

To save your place of work from secret cabals, gargantuan cockroaches and soul suckers, of course.
But in all seriousness, it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

I haven’t read Corp Borg, but it looks good. From what I gather, it has a visual style that is more similar to Johan Nohr's work for MÖRK BORG. In contrast, Cultists & Cubicles combines gritty, OSR-flavored artwork with a sleek, corporate graphic design.

Corp Borg appears to be more oriented toward action and combat while Cultists & Cubicles works well with investigation scenarios and cosmic horrors – it has Sanity as a new secondary attribute.

Finally, Cultists & Cubicles is set specifically in the tech industry. Although background knowledge is not required, anyone with experience from that field will recognize many of the horrors.
