A compilation of all the Mörktober art peices for 2025 designed by Lostar
Mörktober was a fun experience. I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm proud I got one out everyday!
These pieces tie in well with the Pirate Borg universe and there will be a release of a PDF that features all of these wicked and profane head peices and more!

An illustration of a well-dressed pirate with pumpkins growing from their scalp, dripping blood; about to throw one at an enemy. The text reads, "Patch o' Pumpkins: From a seed this wig grows, burrowing into the scalp. As a result the wearer suffers a -1 to PRESENCE. Each day d4 of the pumpkins can be harvested and thrown. Test AGILITY DR12 to do 2d6 damage. Crit: double damage. Fumble: hit a random ally instead."

An illustration of a pirate drawing a sword from a hole in their hat that opens up into an extra-dimensional space while a rat peers out of the hole. The text reads, "Hat of Holding: The hole in this hat leads to an extradimensional space that can hold up to 8 normal-sized items. To retrieve an item all the wearer must do is reach into the hole while thinking of the item. Extradimensional spaces such as these carry the risk of Void Rat infestation. Void Rat Look too long into the void and sometimes a rat looks back at you. HP 2 Morale 5 No Armor Bite 1 + Curse of the Void Curse of the Void: Test TOUGHNESS DR 10 or permanently lose hit points equal to the damage taken. Swarm: When multiple Void Rats attack the same target, combine their damage into one sum (target only tests once for Curse of the Void)."

The text reads: Oracle of the Tetraodontidae: Attach the bloated fish to your head: it inflates and secretes a pellagic poison that renders the creature's thoughts audible to the wearer. Test PRESENCE DR 12 to decipher the rambling thoughts. There is a 50% chance that the thoughts predict something accurate about what is going to happen in the next 30 minutes. With each subsequent attempt in a day, the accuracy decreases by 10%.

A NINJA BORG style douchebag, detailing an ICE AGENT, for your ninjas to give the ol' ultraviolence to. Shows a former member of the Gravy SEALS in his sweet ICE uniform with his super tough and scary skull mask. Because you gotta look like a badass when you are beating up on tamale vendors. Fucking pricks. The ICE agents, not the tamale vendors. Tamale vendors are badass.
NINJA BORG is going to get in on the celebration this month with our lone contribution to #mörktober or #morktober, however you nerds spell it. Anyway, here's today's effort for the October 27th prompt, ICE. #fuckice

A drawing of a pirate with a flowing beard made of strands of ice and dripping with melt-water. The text reads, "Icebeard's Beard: Activate the ANCIENT RELIC to melt some of the beard to provide drinking water for one person's consumption for a day. The ice then gradually regrows over the course of the day as long as it remains affixed to the user's face. Some say Icebeard was a fearsome sailor from Saxony who took to pirating in the Caribbean decades ago. Since then Icebeard has plundered the seas. It is whispered that the beard has changed hands and that it is not one, but many Icebeards that have carried the name...and the beard."

Additionally, as an action, this ANCIENT RELIC causes a blast of fire to emanate from the wearer. Anyone within 15' must test AGILITY DR 14 or take 3d6 damage. Just because you declare yourself a pirate king doesn't mean you're king of the pirates.

An illustration of a stump that has come to life; its roots unearthed and carrying the weight of its stump. A human skeleton dangled from beneath its severed trunk. The text reads: Once there was a tree and she loved a pirate captain. The pirate captain hid their treasure in a knot in the tree's trunk. One day they died and were buried under her. Time went by and the tree's body used for lumber, the pirate captain's treasure taken. Now they both have risen, the pirate captain just bones along for the ride and the tree wandering seeking the captain's cursed treasure. Dread Stump the Tree was happy HP: 12 Morale - Bark -d2 d Body Slam d6 Nutrient Feed. Those killed in the presence of the Dread Stump heal it for d6 HP.

The text reads: The Thief of All Hats Craven Capellophile HP 5 Morale 6 No Armor d Fabric Shears d4 The Thief of All Hats' name has been a mystery though their efforts have not: they have an obsession with collecting hats of all shapes and sizes.

But they'll never tell as they'll never share their bounty or their secrets.
