Böwhoss’ handbook: notes on internal ignition

Concept: “In this volume you will find the most noteworthy, dangerous and strange encounters of my recent voyages.”
Content: A variety of NPCs, monsters, and other hazards as well as a new scroll, a malevolent mushroom, an optional Misery-related madness, a relatively benign tavern, and a much less benign inn
Writing: The first-person POV and travelogue style have a folksy and often irreverent tone
Art/design: Typefaces, engravings, and paintings reinforce the concept while other graphic elements lend some insidious and esoteric atmosphere
Usability: Includes player-facing handouts that include lore but no mechanics or GM-specific information

Cloud of Sinners

“Submit your players to a purity test by forcing them to fight their inner demons.”

Craving the Green

Concept: “A treasure is to be found in the ruins of the old castle on the mountain. […] Getting there will be pretty easy, but what you’ll find in the treasure might make the way down a bit tricky…”
Content: A clever bait-and-switch—and then murder
Writing: Besides stat blocks for the 2-headed lizards, includes copious background and instructions for the GM
Art/design: Use of color aligns the text with the graphic and provides conservative emphasis to help the GM quickly navigate the document
Usability: A unique, rules-lite dynamic for navigating and resolving the central conflict

FÖLK-LORE: Rendezvous & Romps

36 contributors
Concept: “What happens when the lore of our world collides with the Dying World of MÖRK BORG?”
Content: The second volume of collected FÖLK-LORE Jam entries
Writing: Varies by author, see individual entries under the FÖLK-LORE Jam tag
Art/design: Varies by entry; single-page entries are well balanced in spreads
Usability: Varies by entry, but it’s all Mörk Borg—how tough could it be?

Klöss

“One cold winter night he refused to open his door to a beggar, he is now doomed to forever be generous.”

Tenacious Helmets

Concept: “A monster based on unfinished business, misplaced trust and faulty armour”
Content: A trap/monster/item targeting unwary and acquisitive adventurers
Writing: Includes background, behavior, effects, and a stat block (of course)
Art/design: The illustrations will make you want one despite the adverse effects
Usability: Multivalent but ergonomic in any capacity

The Benevolent Ignoramus

Concept: “A titan decided to steal a powerful artifact to try and save the Dying World. Sadly for the Dying World this titan was not particularly bright or agile.”
Content: An ironic take on the mythic fire-bearing savior archetype; also includes stats for ancillary antagonists
Writing: Well written and filled to the brim with dry wit
Art/design: Intended for easy reading with color to add visual emphasis and focus
Usability: Designed for a longer-running plot arc rather than a one-shot encounter

The Gardens at the Bewitching Hour

Concept: “The gardens were an extremely popular spot in Grift …. Now it is nothing but weeds and despair.”
Content: A crawl through a baroque pleasure garden
Writing: Primarily descriptive; adds clever nuances to monsters and NPCs
Art/design: A nice map and clearly delineated locations
Usability: C’est magnifique

The Wicked Ensemble

Concept: “Take part in a dance battle orchestrated by merry skeletons and show off your infernal dance moves!”
Content: A performance-based encounter including mechanics for variations and dance moves
Writing: Takes itself 100% seriously, and it’s spectacular
Art/design: Uses signature yellow and pink to more festive effect; the ligature is also a nice touch
Usability: Easy for DMs, probably a confounding challenge to players
