Concept: “You roam the gods-forsaken realms in your true skeletal form.”
Content: A skeleton character class with some innovative options
Writing: Clear, clean, and concise
Art/design: Would scream “Mörk Borg” if it had any vocal chords
Usability: Easily readable and navigable

Concept: “Blessed be the forgers of iron, and the spikes and the barbwire.” – Mgła
Content: Borgsmith. ’Nuff said.
Writing: Some neat tie-ins to content in the core Mörk Borg rulebook
Art/design: Typographical choices aid navigation and add emphasis; illustration lends an appropriate sooty, smoke-filled ambience
Usability: Layout of class features is a little nonlinear but not prohibitive to use

Concept: “He leaned his heavy head on his fist and began thinking of his poverty, of his hard life with no glimmer of light in it.” – Chekhov
Content: A kick-ass cobbler; unfortunately, has no relation to baked desserts
Writing: A morose, melancholy epigraph tempered by Ceph’s proficiency with rimshots and wordplay
Art/design: Primarily typographical with judicious use of color
Usability: Intuitive

Concept: “Some people are dying. Other people are hungry. You just might have found a way to solve both their problems.”
Content: A character class whose name says it all
Writing: Showcases the comedic side of eating people
Art/design: Clever layout and typographic design with perfect public domain art
Usability: Stylized but pretty straightforward

Concept: “Fighter, Thief, Magic-User, and Cleric. You know them, and you love them, they’re classics for a reason, and why should they miss out on the gritty murder-fun of dying horribly?”
Content: A set of four single-page classes inspired by the early days of RPGs
Writing: Each class has the standard origin table and attribute & gear adjustments; each also has 1 class-specific feature and an option for obtaining an Unheroic Feat
Art/design: A very traditional presentation that fits the content; why mess with the classics?
Usability: An interesting take on old-school classes that fit somewhere between optional classes and classless characters

Concept: “Sweat trickles from your brow as the shovel bites into the dirt. Treasure lies below and will be your soon.”
Content: A gravedigger class with a sardonic tone
Writing: The definition of gallows humor (but it’s graves, not gallows)
Art/design: Good use of color to differentiate text segments and aid navigation
Usability: A couple more details to remember than some other classes, but that’s why you have a character sheet

Concept: “A once respected swordsman, now just another forgotten soul in a world tormented by death.”
Content: A careworn but still formidable mercenary class
Writing: Gives a sense of destitution alongside an indefatigable persistence
Art/design: The figure’s color and texture reinforces the concept’s worn grittiness highlighted by subtle, lingering energy
Usability: Small text may be challenging to read in print (and especially in black and white)

Concept: “Outraged by your impending doom, you have sworn to hunt and kill goblins wherever they may be found.”
Content: A class that accumulates goblin-related features and physical attributes; also includes a personal countdown mechanic for conversion or reversion
Writing: Fairly straightforward with a grimly witty edge
Art/design: Relatively conservative with a retro/OSR feel; some subtle work in the illustration visually reinforces the concept
Usability: May become more powerful than the average character if they survive the multiple factors working against them

Concept: “You are lost. You are dead.”
Content: A random pointcrawl through Sarkash, 6 original thematic classes, and optional rules and gear that add more conceptual depth and distinction without straying from the Mörk Borg core
Writing: Brooding and grim with an undertone of forlorn optimism; extremely effective in conveying the intended tone and atmosphere
Art/design: Visually diverse art and typographical choices unified by a focus on the setting and themes
Usability: Deliberately deals with sexism and trauma; intended as a self-contained module, but the adventure and classes can be used with other Mörk Borg content
