I thought they were the same person when I first got into the hobby. Title: Re: Funny little things that are gaming related Post by: Sluggonics on July 24, 2014, 09:04:18 pm It's unusual that their names are so similar and they're both pretty prolific designers - Berg has obviously designed more games, but Borg has created this ubiquitous system. It's not like one was some obscure guy who designed a couple games back in the 70's or something - they're both well-known, with nearly identical names.

It doesn't help that Berg seems to be deeply involved with BROGFest (http://brogfest.wordpress.com/about/).

I wondered if he'd just ripped off Richard Berg's name.
