Greyson Yandt

Album Crawl

19 contributors
Concept: “A collection of deafening dungeons and auditory misadventures for MÖRK BORG.”
Content:
22 music-inspired settings and scenarios; many intriguing rules and foes; alternate Miseries; a whole spread of punishments for unruly dice
Writing:
Variously fascinating and horrifying
Art/design:
Widely variegated but all nicely done
Usability:
A couple atypical layouts that reward a bit of scrutiny and patience

Bogfolk’s Claw

Concept: “Do you think they have Old Bay seasoning in the dying world…?” 
Content: A big fvckin’ crab.
Writing: Tentative proof that crabs are the utilitarian end of all evolution.
Art/design: I'm pretty sure that crab is gnawing into a human torso. The crab is yellow, the flesh is pink.
Usability: In the Dying Lands, crab picks you. 

Bogfolk’s Teeth

Concept: “We’ll be bringing new molars- er, morsels, of accursed content...” 
Content: Tooth extraction made easy.
Writing: Purposefully perilous dental operations for some twisted new teeth.
Art/design: Got that classic child skull look for extra tooth action.
Usability: Please don’t bite your dentist, it causes infection. 

Börk Morgue #666

Concept: “An unofficial zine for a Dying World with words and design”
Content:
Random tables, optional rules for dice & powers & armor/weapons/combat, pointy teeth, monsters & NPCs … and a Börk Morgue & a Maus Borg
Writing:
Presented with a personable tone with plenty of wry wit
Art/design: Loaded with Mörk Borg aesthetic elements, color, and some creative layouts
Usability:
Adds some deeper complexity in some areas (especially complex) and some irreverent variety all around

Carousing in the Dying World

Concept: “A PC can ‘get better’ […] by carousing.”
Content:
Spend money and time to increase attributes and gain traits, items, recruits, etc.; clever use of simultaneous dice rolls
Writing:
Clear and thoroughly entertaining
Art/design:
Subdued but easy on the eyes
Usability:
GM may need to consult additional supplements; in itself, perfectly usable

This entry was sponsored by the creator as part of the Ex Libris RPG crowdfunding campaign.
“I paid $50 just to tell you that I made this in Microsoft PowerPoint. Also, in hindsight, it is sorely lacking in pulsating anuses. Ani? Eh. You get it.”

Cult of Mörkius

Concept: “It's Mörkin' time. #MörkiusSweep”
Content: The story of Otel Deraj and a plague of Mörkius apologists.
Writing: Interesting mechanics for a hypnotic monster. Its fangs are drip with satire.
Art/design: Arguably classier than its original subject matter.
Usability: Whatever you do, do not praise Mörkius. That’s how it begins. 

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

d6 ARKFORT

Concept: “Begin your perilous journey into the ARKFORT. No GM to save you; yet, if you are too cowardly to venture alone, rope some friends into your misery.”
Content: The macro game to Dark Forts micro game.
Writing: Complementary resource management mechanisms and other complications add depth to Dark Fort's light gameplay.
Art/design: An effective, if dense, text layout harkening back to early digital office correspondence. Some not-so-traditional elements produce the sense of a found document.
Usability: More robust than traditional Mörk Borg fare but rewarding in equal measure. 

DARK FISH BLADE FORT

Concept: “For an authentic experience, get a fish and a blade, and listen to Murmaider by Dethklok. On repeat.”
Content: A standalone fishblade hack of DARK FORT, with optional co-op rules.
Writing: Puns that are succulently fishy. Mechanics that are seriously blade-y.
Art/design: Awkward man-fish, and fish-saws flop between pages of aquamarine and white.
Usability: Available in full size, A4, and letter format. Included character sheet.  

Dental Manvscript

Concept: “A supplement for MÖRK BORG that you can really sink your teeth into.”
Content:
Options for the teeth in your head and in your pocket
Writing:
Good technical expositions and well-placed humor
Art/design:
Definitely lives up to the title
Usability:
Self-contained mechanics are simple to navigate

Feculence

Concept: “Start on the backside!”
Content: A dung’eon crawl to play on the toilet.
Writing: Filthy and fun. A delightfully nutty rules texture with the occasional crunch.
Art/design: Unexpectedly clean text layout. Perfectly legible on paper. Less so on toilet paper.
Usability: Available in A5 and half-letter. Accommodations for public bathroom play are provided in extras. Your results may vary. 

FÖLK-LORE: Fiends, Freaks, & Foes

41 contributors
Concept: “What happens when the lore of our world collides with the Dying World of MÖRK BORG?”
Content:
The first 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?

Gashadokuro, the Starving Skeleton

Concept: “A fifteen-soldier-tall indestructible spirit, the gashadokuro should provide decent challenge for scvm that have survived a bit too long.”
Content:
An enraged murder machine that uses a Morale pool for attacks and damage
Writing:
Clear explanations of special abilities
Art/design:
Simply but skillfully adapts layout to the source image
Usability:
A bit more complex than most monsters, but in a fun and tactical way

Greyson’s Forest

Concept: “Find Mardach's garden and the moshruums within.” 
Content: A secret garden, of sorts. Plenty of fertilizer at least.
Writing: A legend, of unclear message, and plenty of textual evidence it’s about to go horribly wrong.
Art/design: Fuchsia fungi feed mustard trees near a fertilizer-free two-column layout.
Usability: “To be continued...” No, seriously. 

Greyson’s Silver

Concept: “They will never get ‘hold of my silver; though if they do, may they be sated forever.” 
Content: A chest of surprisingly heavy coins.
Writing: A narrative origin for a uniquely cursed chest. Greed is not good.
Art/design: A cheeky little silver coin sticks its tongue out at you. Rightly so scvm.
Usability: Protip – it's cursed. Get swol.
