Taking advantage of the new illustrations Miguel Romero Mata has sent me for the game, I’d like to show you the one above, depicting adventurers arriving at a Village.
In Morkin, there are many different types of structures, and one of them is Villages.
Upon arriving at a Village, you’ll have several options: resting, sleeping, buying, and selling.
However, be cautious—resting and sleeping come at a cost, which you’ll need to pay, provided you have enough money. The prices you’ll receive will also vary depending on your Charisma level.
As for buying and selling, just as in Keeps and Citadels, you’ll find merchants offering weapons, armour, and various items to aid you in your adventure. However, Villages offer something unique—Street Markets. These markets feature varying prices and stock depending on the Village, where you can find typical market goods such as Frost Rat tails and hides, Dragon scales, or Despair Spider Eyes.
In addition, certain events only take place in Villages, including plagues, assaults, and side quests.
Here is the Village of Kor, in the Forest of Kor, and not far from the black Keeps and Citadels, bastions of Doomdark’s troops… (the map is still a work in progress)
In summary, Villages are crucial for taking a well-needed break on your journey to the Tower of Doom.
Morkin is a table-top, solo-player game inspired by The Lords of Midnight, the strategy and adventure epic fantasy game created by Mike Singleton and first released for the ZX Spectrum in 1984. The Lords of Midnight is often ranked among the greatest role-playing and strategy games of the 1980s.
You will step into the role of Morkin as he embarks on his quest to destroy the Ice Crown. Played on a hexagonal map, the game blends role-playing elements with strategic exploration and adventure. All you will need to play Morkin is the book, a pencil, eraser, a few dice and your imagination.
