A Wizard's Dying Wish and Other Tales

Writing: A thick and sturdy scaffold of personalities and events to entertain or eradicate your scvm.

Usability: Encounters can easily be dropped in independently but are thematically consistent for a longer campaign. 

A Wizard’s Dying Wish

Art/design:
Keeps the pamphlet visually interesting without being obtrusive

Fold it twice and you’re ready to go

Writing:
Text heavy, but creates a vivid atmosphere and provides psychological depth to the antagonist, something not often found in Mörk Borg
Art/design:
Excellent, expressive depictions of the titular characters
Usability:
Includes an alternative d6-based encounter-resolution mechanic; a bit more complex than some scenarios, but the additional moving parts make for an interesting and memorable scenario

A sonic-themed dungeon with original creatures and NPCs

Mostly descriptive but efficient

Exactly what it should be

A complex but surprisingly easy-to-navigate layout

Writing: Entire encounters, condensed on a lid. Full of flavor, and terror.
Art/design: Sharp illustrations, clean text, elegant drop table design.
Usability: Can hold things, so you can roll things. 

Calo’s Book of Monsters

Concept: “Many a scholar, after spending a day with the book, finds that sleep escapes them that night as the haunting vision of the many monsters described in the book consume their imagination.”

20 monsters as well as a region for them to inhabit and local rumors for PCs to overhear
Writing:
Provides lots of exposition on each monster as well as multiple adventure hooks and detailed stat blocks

Features detailed black-and-white illustrations against a stylized Mörk Borg-yellow ground
Usability:
GMs would be well-advised to read each entry carefully and take note of the copious details

Chamber of Screams and More

Concept: “Five different 12" x 12" double-sided posters, each a different encounter idea/mini-adventure... Each is a stand-alone and, if I've done things right, will lead to a TPK or as close to one as possible.” 
Content: Five fatal mistakes for your next group of scvm.
Writing: Humorous and harrowing. With deadly accommodations for particularly resilient scvm. 
Art/design: Art-heavy poster layouts with detailed adventure text on the reverse side.
Usability: Clean and calculated for reading and reference. 

Curic’s Cursed Chapbook

“In the days of sunlight, before nightmares blackened the skies and the cursed people claimed the world, there was a traveler by the name of Lukas Curic who enjoyed sharing stories with those he met in the towns and villages of the world.”

D12 Skeletal Encounters

Concept: “The omnipresent skeleton is one of those foes that GMs can always toss at the adventurers when stuck for an idea.”

Usability: A skeletal framework that’s easy to read and reference 

Deck of Corpses

A heap of bodies, some of whom also have loot
Writing:
Some strange and gruesome remains; not for the faint of heart, but definitely for Mörk Borg

Conservative but effective

Includes a unique mechanic involving the official Corpse Plundering table and clock time

Deck of Corpses 2

Writing: An entertaining encounter for every corpse. As it should be.
Art/design: Functional and consistent.
Usability: Fully compatible with Deck of Corpses 1. 

Deck of Evil Objects

Content:
A 15-card deck with 3 additional cards (2 for the Deck of Treasures and 1 for the Deck of Secrets)
Writing:
The descriptions will make you want to use these even though the mechanics will probably kill your character
Art/design:
Sets the tone well without overcrowding a small space
Usability:
Draw a card. Read the card. Repeat.

Deck of Secrets

Content:
36 violent, sordid, and bizarre selections to flesh out your characters’ personal histories

Well-crafted to inspire players’ imaginations and add compelling depth to characters
Art/design:
Nice, macabre art on card backs, and textured backgrounds add some visual depth to each side
Usability:
Just draw and then despair

Deck of Terribly Broken Bodies

Concept: “Instead of rolling a d4 and checking the table in the core rules, draw a single card from this deck whenever a PC reaches zero HP.”
Content:
38 severe injuries at 4 levels of severity (correlating to the 4 results on the Broken table in the core rules) with different results for different damage types
Writing:
Visceral, vivid, and violent (obviously)
Art/design:
Overall nice design; use of vivid yellow skulls to emphasize severity is a solid, well-devised feature
Usability:
Very straightforward so you can focus on suffering from the wound instead of deciphering it
