Concept: “Demon monster for Mörk Borg”
Content:
A heavyweight monster

Particularly suited as a recurring infernal antagonist

Amputechture

Writing: A story-driven dungeon crawl of possession, exorcism, maggots, entrails, rituals, and blood.

Anecdotes

Copious lore, a table of guises Bergharuth takes, and stats for Suffocating Tentacles
Writing:
A sinister tone and visceral, violent imagery; also includes some nascent adventure seeds

Repetition of organic forms and lines help create a visual unity and graphically represent the concepts described in the text

Could be implemented as a background plot or counternarrative to the primary apocalyptic scenario

Book of Misery Volume 2: Mork Borg

Content: A witch’s tome of classes, monsters, artifacts, followers, adventures—and misery.

Broken Table

Concept: “Knighthood. What a laughable concept.” 
Content: Fourteen corrupted puppets of chivalry, six dying orders, and a quixotic scvm.
Writing: An encyclopedia of chivalric failures, starting with the individual, moving to the institutional, and ending at the personal.
