Concept: “The mother of abominations woke up expecting after a feast held in the pits of doom and gloom.”

Art/design: Skillfully captures Mörk Borg’s aesthetic
Usability: Streamlined stat blocks, clear tables, and instructional text for linked entries and creature categories

Concept: “The City on the Edge of All Misery”

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

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
