#MÖRKTOBER 12+15: Binding & Nails

Love me a good pun

The Star That Gazes Back A DANGER FOR MÖRK BORG If you look to the stars one night and find a favored constellation one light richer than you remembered: LOOK AWAY. A horrible parasite lingers in the night sky, seeking to draw the eye of stargazers and enter down the optic nerve, latching upon the flesh of the cerebellum. The thing fascinates the gazer, becoming first an object of curiosity, next a site of adoration, and finally a new god to worship. At night you can see its mark upon the victims if you look closely: a golden strand of thread, impossibly thin, emerging from the eye and stretching up into the clouds. Those thus infested make their bodies ready to be crucibles for the birthing of starspawn, eggs already growing somewhere behind the eyes.

Morktober Day 30: STAR

The penultimate day - this has been a lot of fun - see you all tomorrow for one last trip around the bend.

#MÖRKTOBER in Cypher System Day 30: Star. Man, I can't believe that #MÖRKTOBER is almost over. I want to thank @exeunt.press for putting this together. It has been a blast, and I have seen some absolutely amazing work from all of you out there. Looking forward to seeing your Pumpkins 🎃

The Void Wurm A DRAGON FOR MÖRK BORG An absence in the form of a winged horror. A thing from outside time clad in scales of entropy. It devours reality and spits it back out as a hundred horrors. The basilisks dare not name it, ancient thing, cold and terrible. Spoken or no, it’s name is DRAGON, and its coming heralds the end of all things. D6 Wurm Signs 1. Objects begin to rest on an invisible surface six inches above the ground 2. Grift sinks into the sea. 3. All printed text becomes scrolls of power. 4. The dead march from Graven-Tosk in a procession to the sea. 5. Verhu and Gorgh come to Galgenbeck, death preceding and following them. 6. The sun sets and does not rise.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 29. Hole.
#MORKTOBER #MÖRKTOBER

Bottled Singularity Level: 13 Form: A swirling black shape surrounded by a vibrant accretion disk. The entire thing is encased in a heavily warded glass jar. Effect: You throw the bottle, which shatters against the ground. The singularity contained within the jar rapidly expands to fill an immediate distance across. Anything and Anyone who fails a Might Defense Roll within a very long distance of the singularity is drawn a short distance towards the singularity each round. Creatures and objects that are pulled into the singularity drop one step down the damage track each round they remain within the singularity. For NPCs drawn into the singularity, see “NPCs and Special Damage” (CSR page 219). The singularity persists for a minute before disappearing, depositing anything it had contained in a shattered heap.

#MÖRKTOBER in Cypher System Day 29: Hole. I wanted to go big with this one. Normal Cpher System doesn't normally go past ten, but a black hole is more than impossible to escape.

I'm so thankful for all of the people in the TTRPG scene who make things to help others.

The last few weeks I've been reading, watching, and downloading a ton of stuff that has really helped me out.

Here are some shoutouts 🧵

Not useless. If it gives off heat, adventurers will use it to light fires. Permanant tinderbox

The people of the 8 prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain. Some call them magic, others technology, but the wise know these are our legacy. They are our future. They are... the numenera.

Check it out on DTRPG:

Demons like contracts. Everyone knows that, right? What everyone doesn’t know, or at least doesn’t tell you, is how ghastly demonic contracts are. When I first laid eyes upon that contract, it was gruesome, but not abhorrent. The parchment was clearly made from mortal flesh, and the ink was a deep crimson. I had seen worse. The horror began when I sat down to read the contract; I wasn’t going to be caught unaware, after all. The contract was one of the most dense and bloated I had ever read. The text was filled with footnotes, cross-references, and endlessly overcomplicated phrases. But what was truly horrific was the physical bloat. The contract grew as I read it; new pages grew out of old pages like a cancerous blight. It was truly impossible to know the terms to which I was agreeing until after I signed. I shouldn’t have done it; the bloat should have been a warning, but I was desperate. ~Warren Blackmoore, Barrister and Signatory of a Demonic Contract FAUST: Hell itself has its laws ? I am glad of it; in that case a compact, a binding one, may be made with you gentlemen? MEPHISTOPHELES: What is promised, that shalt thou enjoy to the letter; not the smallest deduction shall be made from it. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

#MÖRKTOBER Day 28: Bloat. I was tempted to do a bloated corpse, but that seemed a bit on the nose, so I went with something even more terrifying!

A playing card with a reef of coral that burns when it reaches the surface. Something else is also watching. The text reads: 26) EVERCORAL Some believe the world beyond has already been consumed by flames and destruction. It might be true, but in some cases it is but an Evercoral reef. It grows from the dark depths of the ocean like tendrils reaching for what little light is left in the sky, only to be eternally scorched by it.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 27. Ice.
#MORKTOBER #MÖRKTOBER

Day 27 of #MÖRKTOBER is Ice! Cruel and inevitable, the gruesome glacier will come for us all in a terrible embrace of wretched cold! There is no escaping from a death so bleak and pure. Relentlessly creeping through the tragic world with a grim disdain of everything ever born!

SEEKING DARING ADVENTURERS FOR A FOOL'S ERRAND Her Ladyship, Olesya Sychev, seeks a competent band to undertake a quest beyond the Harngoln Range and parley with Ithanterax, Eldrwyrm of the Frost Dragons. Danger Likely. Tact Necessary. Sizeable Compensation. Enquirers and Prospects speak with Askalon, the majordomo of the Boyarress.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 27: Ice. What gets an adventurer's attention more than a wanted poster and the promise of treasure?

@morkborg.com a deal is a deal

an entry for day 26 of #MÖRKTOBER - TORCH

here's a Hand of Glory, made from the severed sinister hand of a criminal most foul, bearing a candle of black wax. the light it casts is visible only to the bearer, and while it is lit, they leave no trace and make no sound.

Day 26 of #MÖRKTOBER is Torch! A mandatory tool in the dark tunnels of the ancient tombs. Though, some searchers have said that being sightless makes the revolting horrors more easily encountered as their awful visage doesn't get the chance to explode the eyeballs from your head!

This is totally a wizard's familiar.

I love how creative the folk participating in #MÖRKTOBER have been. This is a good play on the prompt.

Aaaaaaand, I'm caught up. #MÖRKTOBER in Cypher System Day 26: Torch. Not all

You’re wandering a market, looking to offload some coin after a recent adventure. There’s all the usual stuff: silks, spices, pottery, etc. Something unusual catches your eye. There is a vendor selling cages filled with all manner of birds. In one particular cage, all by itself, is a small bird, no larger than 13cm (_in) long, it has blueish iridescent feathers and a long downward curving beak. Its wings flutter faster than lightning, and a slight, barely perceptible, glowing trail follows them. You’ve seen hummingbirds before, but never one like this. “Ah, that is an Æther Hermit; it’s very, very rare. Some traders sold it to me after their last trip to the Æther. They said it’s very good for pollinating magical gardens. I bet you’re mage friend would be interested. C’mon, I’ll make you a good deal.” Æther Hermit 1(3): Small, iridescent blue hummingbird native to the Æther Sphere. Health 3, Damage 1. Speed Defense as level 3 due to size. Pollinating Magical and Mundane flowers as level 5. This product is an independent production and is not affiliated with Monte Cook Games, LLC.

#MÖRKTOBER in Cypher System Day 24: Stump. Baffle. Perplex. Confuse. Bewilder.

Adventure Location: The Garden of Morlinde When the Second Dragon War ended, the Brotherhood of the Whispering Ring was heralded as heroes. Many of the Brotherhood were happy to serve as the heroes and role models for the new and fledgling world, but not all who become heroes do so deliberately. While the druidess was happy to help overthrow the Undying King, Morlinde later retreated from public life. When the public would not leave her alone, she created her garden. Located on Ishon, The Garden of Morlinde is more akin to a noble’s chase than a proper garden. To help ensure her isolation, the Garden is brimming with toxic plants of all varieties. White Bryony and Bittersweet vines swing from Manchineel, Yew, and Strychnine trees. Amid the ground cover, Foxglove, Oleander, Monkshood, Nightshade, and many other varieties of toxic flowers sway gently in the wind. It is a fool’s endeavor to enter the Archdruid’s toxic chase. Only the most brash or foolish dare to enter and walk along the dangerously sweet pathways. Only the most desperate seek Morlinde in her home.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 23: Flower. A retired hero, a garden of poison. That sounds like an adventurer's dream! Beware the deceptive dangers of The Garden of Morlinde. Inspiration taken from the Alnwick Garden

MÖRKTOBER Day 21: Beak Ser Travek The Opalite requires more processing power than one human flesh-sack can provide. Isak’s comfortable flesh, safe behind brick walls, provides the body for thought. Ser Travek, who wears the beak helmet and believes himself chosen, provides the body for action. Prismatic threads invisible to mortal eyes connect them across the miles. The Opalite transmits targeting data disguised as visions, divine will, holy purpose. Which god does Ser Travek serve? He knows not. He knows only that he receives faces, names, locations. An unslakeable thirst for violence. At one time the Opalite guided him actively, was able to see through the beak’s eye sockets, to watch Travek’s work and guide him with a firm hand. But it as forgotten him, and now the transmissions come passively, leaking out from the Opalite’s roiling dreams. Ser Travek HP 12 Plate −d6 Morale 10 War Pick d8, Spears d6 His faith is unshakeable. Illustration: A knight in heavy plate armor and a helmet with a giant beak. He wields a war pick and a buckler. On his back are spears with skulls and a thin, black banner.

Words by @loottheroom.bsky.social, art by yours truly.

Love this, so simple, but so perfect. I can imagine the PCs sketching this at the table.

If you were going to write stats for @leechtown.bsky.social's creature, what would it do?

Text reads: "In the dark of night // the creature Pehmert slept // on his piles of gold. // Though soon in his sight // was the young thief who crept // with treasures in her hold. MÖRKTOBER 2025. Words and art by K.J. Montgomery." Hand-drawn sketch of a large purple eye of a dragon-like creature is wide-open. The image of a thief running away in the dark of night is reflecting off of the creature's pupil area. The thief is carrying a bag of treasure in one hand and a bladed weapon in the other hand.

#MÖRKTOBER 2025 day 22: "thief" - "In the dark of night // the creature Pehmert slept // on his piles of gold. // Though soon in his sight // was the young thief who crept // with treasures in her hold." Original sketch in comments. Enjoy! #mörkborg #pirateborg #ttrpg

Your friend never showed. You had made plans to rendezvous with them three days after the last job. That was 6 days ago. You know where they were hiding out, and you’ve made your way there. Their hideout was empty, tossed in a hurry. As you head towards the town center to begin asking around, you see it. Swinging from the makeshift gallows is your friend, strung up and on public display as if some spectacle. A roughly carved wooden sign says, “THIEF”. Who did this? How could anyone have known?

#MÖRKTOBER Day 22: Thief. What do you do now? Do you look for the killer? Run? Are you next?
