The MÖRKTOBER prompts are here!
As per tradition, I always share the prompts in September to give you some time to ponder them ahead of the actual event in October. They were available last week as a crossword puzzle you had to solve. Now they are available in the usual format!
I think there are some good ones in there this year, particularly “ship” and “crab.”1 The final one for Day 31 should come as no surprise to those who have participated in previous years.
This year’s prompt list is illustrated by Marie Enger, creator of Death to the Wizard Kings and Casket Land. I was thrilled to be able to work with Marie and absolutely love the art!
Read the MÖRKTOBER FAQ for all the details on how to participate!
Crossword puzzle solutions
Congratulations to everyone who solved the crossword puzzle! It proved to be far more popular than expected, and I was shocked at how many people gave it a try.
Solutions are in the image above. Spoilers if you haven’t already solved it. From what I can tell, 13 Across and 25 Down were the two most likely to trip people up.
Make weird things with Tenebrous
“A very well put together book to help any DM stuck in a creative rut.”
I made something new for MÖRKTOBER!
Tenebrous is a 44-page guide full of random tables and inspiration to make dark and weird things for MÖRK BORG:
Chapter 1: The Dark Fort
Chapter 2: What should I make?
Chapter 3: Create a monster
Chapter 4: Choose a location
Chapter 5: Rumors & lies
Chapter 6: Bäncht’s Rat Box
Appendix: Art resources, generators, inspiration
This guide includes random tables for project ideas, items, monsters, locations, rumors, and more.2 They can be used individually to create one-off things for use in MÖRK BORG or other dark fantasy settings.
Make whatever you want. But remember… Make it dark. Make it weird.
Tenebrous is available as the Tenebrous Adventure Bundle (Print + PDF) at the Exeunt Press Shop. The bundle includes both Tenebrous and the Cemetery of the Silent Monks one-shot zonecore adventure.
