30 Days of MÖRK BORG Adventure Chapbook Vol.5

Concept: “Face off against interdimensional horrors, a drug-fueled cult and their terrifying god, and the unrelenting predation of the Mutant Centipede Thing!” 
Content: Three new ways to die... in a hole.
Writing: A sculptor's nightmare world of rock, lead, slag, bronze, drugs, and intelligent sinusoidal waves. Grounded and moving surrealism.
Art/design: Dark, textured, and occasionally effervescent images of spectral manifestations.
Usability: Deep vertical shafts with helpful mini-maps add utility and visual suspense.  

30 Days of MÖRK BORG Adventure Chapbook Volume 3:3 Churches

Concept:  
“The heretics rise...
  
The Death Church of Wokath 
Blessed are the dead, for they shall inherit all!

We forge our tradition in the spirit of our ancestors! 

The Flayed Church 
We bow to that which crawls!

Content: Three heretical religions along with their followers, artifacts, seats of power, and teachings.
Writing: Three faiths enshrined in text. With histories and doctrines proving how fertile cults can spring forth from the infertile soil of a dying world.
Art/design: Design elements and illustrations mingle in rapturous heretical rites.
Usability: Visual and textual motifs allow for easy navigation between the faiths during play. 

30 Days of Mörk Borg Adventure Chapbook vol. 2: On the Island of Dying Gods

“This book expands the one-page, one-shots taken from my digital offering 30 Days of MÖRK BORG and is the second volume in a planned series of ten. For this volume, we focused on creating three distinct modules within a larger keyed setting, but there’s still plenty of room for improvisation and substitution at your table.”

A Dead God’s Stronghold

Concept: “Have some scvm you can’t seem to part with? Looking for a way to end your game before it ends the world?”
Content:
6 thematic hazards and stats for some pretty brutal basilisks
Writing:
Clear descriptions with a healthy dose of humor
Art/design:
Fits a fair amount of content efficiently onto one page alongside some nice graphic elaborations of the base image
Usability:
Can be used as an overlay for another dungeon to add extra character and lethality

A Growing Menace

Concept: “The Sarkash forests have gone eerily silent, and travelers who venture too close to the wood line are disappearing without a trace.”
Content: Feast your eyes to an old god of the forest.
Writing: Strong thematic elements established in both background and environmental description.
Art/design: Haunting illustration by Waclaw supports an ominous yet understated layout.
Usability: You won’t get caught up in this web. 

A Waning Light

Concept:  
“To the south, and to the west, to the place where land becomes liquid and oozes into the Endless Sea. Far beyond Targ-Dungel and the festering swamps of the Rotlands lies Fattvëlland, the Great Slick. 


This, they say, is where the giants died. This oil is their blood, their liquid bones, their final gift to the land – a gift taken by darkness, now. The waning light of the cowering sun dares not shine here. Those who bring flames find themselves burning as stars, hot and bright and all too brief, returned to smoke and ash from whence everything came.”
Content: An oil-slicked, guttering, forgotten lantern crawl. With two suffocating dungeons, petroleum-rich expanses, demented myths, and many muddled secrets.
Writing: A melancholy-soaked Molotov, light on memory, heavy with misery. Ready to ignite.
Art/design: Moisture-stained maps, brooding and heavily manipulated photographs, and dark illustrations over an ironclad layout.
Usability: Strong hierarchy and clean legible text. The accompanying album drones in perfect accompaniment. 

Abyss of Hallucinations, Vol 2

7 contributors
Concept: “None remains but thought, and this verily is false”
Content: A guidebook to the abyss and its transformations. 9 “Locations”, 12 occult relics, Chaos, 6 denizens of the abyss, D77 Corpses, arcane Miseries, a dungeon generator, and a damn anti-puzzle. Not to mention the included chance at rebirth.
Writing: Highly symbolic, deeply layered. At times tragic, ironic, paradoxical, and funny. You’ll get out what you put in. Honestly, “Do what thou wilt”
Art/design: A gorgeous physical specimen, clad in textured pink and gold.
Usability: Strong map illustrations, stylized headers, and clear structure lend clarity to a chaotic realm. 

Apocryphal Trinity

Concept: “In search of hope, in a desperate cry for help, always greater evils are the first to answer... Never pray for deliverance, in times of torment” 
Content: A trio of unknowable gods, brought low for Forbidden Psalm.
Writing: Powerful and game-altering entities that impact or produce entire scenarios.
Art/design: A kaleidoscope of overlayed images and patterns, with text intermingling with the images in hostile and alien configurations.
Usability: Again, aggressively toying with the concept of legibility. It’s not unreadable, but you may have to work for parts of it. 

Creatures of the Dying World 3

Concept: “...in which he mines the alien world of insects to produce Lovecraftian Things that Should Not Be.” 
Content: 19 sanity-shaking creatures. d66 delusional prompts to manage the fallout.
Writing: A thorough mix of indescribable humor and horror. With a fantastical sanity system that won’t take your players out of the game. 
Art/design: Impressionistic and inked illustrations capture both the silly and the strange.
Usability: Text which balances between utility and style from passage to passage. 

Cult of the Blood God

Concept: “‘... AND AS I SIPPED OF THE CONCOCTION PRESENTLY I WAS SHOWN VIVID SIGHTS OF A BLACK FIELD GROWN FULL OF THOSE SAME FLOWERS I HAD INGESTED… AND FINALLY I KNEW I HAD ENTERED THE FORGOTTEN DIMENSION OF BLOOD ...’”
Content: A drug-fueled, rage-filled, blood-slick temple crawl—and berserker death race.
Writing: A lovingly crafted starter adventure, that guides new scvm through a bloodthirsty rage dungeon.
Art/design: Cunningly designed mini-maps, clever symbols, and layout blend utility and aesthetics seamlessly.
Usability: Not quite printer-friendly, but as legible as it is gorgeous.

Cultists of Dying Gods

Concept: “Many of those in the dying world still cling to dying gods—ironically, inquisitors most of all. Most of these dying gods need you to torture or be tortured.”
Content:
Includes stats for various cultists and rules for torture and trauma; some interesting rules interactions
Writing: Clear and concise with entertaining cultural and metagame references
Art/design:
Nice public domain art (some color-enhanced) sets the tone for individual cults
Usability:
Pstress rules are a bit complex but robust rather than complicated

Dead God’s Prophet for Forbidden Psalm

Concept: “‘I have seen the gods once... when they were recklessly trying to kill each other’”
Content: A rambling religious scvm to add to your Forbidden Psalm warband.
Writing: A simple and largely un-sophistic in its babble
Art/design: Clustered text surrounds the scene of an eager prophet, mid-sacrifice.
Usability: Slightly incoherent.

Devourer of Afflictions

Concept: “Its followers claim that any who is swallowed by the god shall be reborn, expelled from its lower body free of pain and disease.”
Content:
A heavyweight monster that
Writing:
Compelling description of the devourer along with tables for ingestion effects
Art/design:
Visually well organized; illustration frames the text and obscures the creature, which is a neat choice
Usability:
Smooth, just like PCs through a giant maggot-god

Freakshows

Concept: “Come one! Come all! The Freakshow is in town! We have creatures from all over the dying world. Creatures from beyond Bergen Chrypt. Even some from realms not our own. Gather close, listen up, because your in for a wild ride.” 
Content: The wickhead lifecycle, illuminated.
Writing: Frankly, murderous. Violence deified and made manifest.
Art/design: Jagged text and forcefully carved collage work.
Usability: Stylized body text sacrifices some legibility. Probably on a bloody altar.
