30 Johan Nohr

Weird Games and Weirder People

Johan Nohr is a graphic designer, illustrator, game designer, and pretty must and awesome person! He is the co-mastermind behind Mörk Borg, and his unique style has created ripple in the TTRPG aesthetic as a whole.

I met Johan online, on the apocalyptic lands of Twitter, and his work on Mörk Borg quickly got my attention. The way the graphic design and illustration says just as much about the game as the text of the game really impressed me, and reminds me the work of literally illustrators and how they are as much as authors of the work as the writers themselves.

Besides that, Johan, Pelle, and everyone else involved with Mörk Borg are great at cultivating an inclusive and super active community. Mörk Borg is not just a game anymore, is almost like a style of gaming, and they certainly set an example I want to follow.

In this chat we talked about making art, being an artist, working full time with art, RPGs, inspirations, music, parenthood, coffee, morning rituals, and so, so much more.

It's a great chat, we go deep, we make it personal and it get's weird!

So listen up and get weird with us!
