𒆜𝔈𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔇𝔲𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔬𝔫𒆜 We are beyond excited to reveal the future launch of our Actual Play series, entitled 𝕽𝖎𝖋𝖋𝖘 & 𝕽𝖊𝖆𝖑𝖒𝖘! Kicking off in January, the first season is produced in collaboration with tabletop RPG MÖRK BORG, a ‘doom metal album of a game’. @morkborg.com @nohr.se

Bright visual featuring a 19th century demon engraving and the following text: Nuclear Blast Announces Rifs & Realms an actual play series for metalheads, by metalheads (swipe to learn more)

Dark background with a small image of a skull held by a hand, and the following text: Riffs And Realms is a new Youtube series where members of Nuclear Blast bands roll dice, explore dungeons and destroy their enemies (maybe). All thanks to the power of metal! In otherwords, it's a series where headbangers play tabletop RPG.

An illustration from the MÖRK BORG core book by Johan Nohr of two creatures with black skulls and yellow bodies.
Text: For the first adventure, we're partnering with M¨ROK BORG! It's a game set in a grim dark fantasy world plagued with a doomsday prophecy, created by two metal loving Swedes.

Text: More details will be revealed soon...
Tune in next month on Nuclear Blast's youtube channel to watch the first episode!
