🎃 MÖRKTOBER 2025 is here!

Thirty-one days of dark and weird MÖRK BORG creations begins October 1, 2025. Now with a creator kit to help you get started. Make weird stuff!

MÖRKTOBER 2025 Daily Prompts

Behold, MÖRKTOBER is here!

Make something each day in October for the MÖRK BORG roleplaying game inspired by the prompt list and share it — an item, scroll, weapon, class, dungeon room, art, or anything else! Tag it #MÖRKTOBER on social media and/or share it on Discord!

How to participate in MÖRKTOBER

The best place to start is the FAQ at www.morktober.com, but here are some of the most important parts:

• How to join: There is no registration or formal process for participating in MÖRKTOBER. Make things when you feel like it and don’t worry about missing days. Take breaks. It’s a creative exercise, so use it any way you want.

• What to do: Each day in October, use the daily prompt to make something for MÖRK BORG.¹ It could be a text description of an item, art, or something more complicated. Weapons, items, dungeons, monsters, or anything else is fair game.

• Where to share: There is no central repository for the things made during MÖRKTOBER, and that is by design.² Sharing in the #mörktober channel on the MÖRK BORG Discord server is encouraged. Post on your favorite social media platform. On Bluesky, tag your work so it’s included in the MÖRKTOBER feed.

Remember, it’s chill, not a challenge. You don’t get a prize if you complete every day.

I’ve heard from quite a few people who would love to participate but aren’t sure where to begin. Looking at the daily prompt and a blank sheet of paper can be intimidating!

To help, I’ve made the MÖRKTOBER Creator Kit — a ~20 page guide with random tables covering everything from type of creation to monster features. It includes some fantastic art by Francisco Lemos.³

Free community copies are available. Grab one and check it out. Please let me know if you find it to be helpful. Also, reviews are appreciated!

Doom Quest is coming

Doom Quest I: An Offering of Sweet Honey (Physical Bundle)

Last year’s MÖRKTOBER Doom Quest was a big success and I had so much fun putting together my first puzzle hunt. Doom Quest will be back again this year, but in a slightly different format:

• Doom Quest II: Under the Bloodroot will be released as a stand-alone zine. You won’t need to use any web forms or online components to check your answers.

• All of the puzzles and information required to solve them will be available as soon as Doom Quest is released. Everything will be in the zine or otherwise available.

• It will be released about half-way through MÖRKTOBER rather than at the beginning. There’s always a frenzy of activity on the first day, so it’s probably a good ideas to space it out a bit.

I’m adding more puzzles this year and making it easier to run as an adventure. Check out the #mörktober channel to catch my updates on it.
