Hekate V. Lunasri
Bon Terry
Concept: “Undying and cowardly, this legendary spirit seeks eternally for the ‘sinless one’, hoping to carve out their heart, and offer it up as a sacrifice before Nechrubel, to plead departure from this dying world.”
Content: A sad, death-bereft NPC with a knack for retribution
Writing: Provides some folksy lore and a straightforward stat block
Art/design: Clear division between lore and stats with a deceptively innocuous illustration; brooding greens create a murky, pelagic feel
Usability: Despite modest stats, the ability to steal PCs’ Omens and break PCs with no Omens may make Bon Terry a challenging adversary
Death Is But a Doorway
Content: Why settle for a boring death when you can adopt a different class and get back in the game?
Writing: Guides the player with a series of questions posed by a surprisingly sympathetic demon
Art/design: Designed for easy use and readability; splashes of color add emphasis
Usability: An excellent resource for matching fateful deaths with meaningful character (re)creation
Dïce Borg
Content: Mechanics for playing using only d6(s)
Writing: Clear explanation of some relatively complex dice mechanics
Art/design: Condensed version includes some graphic stylization; main document uses clear, traditional design and layout fitting the content’s nature
Usability: Includes quick-start bookmark as well as fully elaborated rules and tables; throwing knife not included
Eldritch Earthbound
Content: Includes standard stat adjustments and some diverse class features along with a table for rolling your malefactor and conferred title, and an Outcast Score mechanic that affects certain rolls
Writing: Captures and conveys an attitude of bitter retrospection
Art/design: Clean, easy-to-read text with some entertaining design flourishes and enough diversity to make an overall graphically interesting document
Usability: Outcast Score is integrated seamlessly, keeping complexity at a standard level
Mutated Goblin
Concept: “The goblin-curse has twisted your body and racked your mind. Food. Eat. Bite.”
Content: A goblin character class with some really compelling features and callbacks to other published adventures
Writing: Simultaneously grim and playful—just like a goblin
Art/design: Relatively conservative (by Mörk Borg standards) but very clean and easy to read
Usability: Offers a host of character abilities but still not as complex as a certain dragon game
Pötatö Borg
Content: Starchy. Bland.
Writing: No writing at all.
Art/design: Morbid and horrifying. Nightmare fuel.
Usability: It is said one can boil them, though I prefer to mash them. Some will stick them in a stew.

Svið in a Ditch
Content: A high-concept hexcrawl across the Dying Land and through Bergen Chrypt; populated by a wide and colorful cast of characters
Writing: Provides detailed descriptions of locations, insights into NPCs, and creates a sense of interconnection between encounters
Art/design: Text heavy, but necessarily so; color and visual choices keep the pages interesting and lively
Usability: Contains links to other useful supplements; also available in simple and plaintext formats for easier readability
Südglan Leadmaster
Content: A feature-laden class inspired by a certain 1993 work of cinematic art; also includes monsters inspired by a certain 1983 piece of videogame history
Writing: Presents a useful class while still keeping its inspiration visible
Art/design: Incorporates iconic graphic elements to emphasize its source material
Usability: “This is an unfinished class, but it is a playable one.”
The Jackanapes
Content: A fairly variable class for players who want more of a challenge
Writing: Standard class description and rules with a d66 feat table
Art/design: Primarily devoted to usability and navigability
Usability: "Jackanapes" is singular (if you were wondering)
Wayward Wickhead
Concept: “Wick-Head, a-Wick-Head the longer you stand, the shorter our life grows!”
Content: Converts the iconic wickhead enemy/hireling to a playable character class
Writing: Captures the playful, sinister weirdness portrayed in the core book with creative prose and appropriate, compelling mechanics
Art/design: Visual elements aid navigation and add flavor alongside the digital collage illustration
Usability: Also includes a plain text version for easier reading
