STONE BY STONE - A MÖRK BORG Misery
A downloadable zine
"Of those who build mightily, stone by stone, so shall they fall, stone by stone."
Nechrubel 1:3
The 1st Misery befalls the damned world.
Skulk through ossified woods...
A pirate's graveyard...
And the innards of a living alien...
To make the 2nd Misery someone else's problem.
You have TEN DAYS.
STONE BY STONE is a 26-page adventure, compatible with MÖRK BORG, that will take your players to a crumbling lighthouse, through a haunted sailor's boneyard, and inside a still-living cosmic colossus. They will encounter ascended animals, defiled altars, well-read bandits, and a horrid new form of undead, with a lethality and efficiency sure to give pause to even the bravest of mercenaries.
FEATURES:
- Ticking Clock Adventure: Includes rules for efficiently abstracting & tracking the passage of time.
- Pre-Doomed World: The damned prophecy of Nechrubel 1:3 starts in-play, complete with meaningful gameplay effects & mechanics.
- Puzzles To Solve: Complete with in-canon alternative solutions for when your skvm would rather just "cut the Gordian Knot", as it were.
- New Enemy Types: Zweihander-wielding raccoons, bookish bandits, demented flying skulls, and most horrid of all, the Glints: ruthlessly efficient undead abominations infected with cosmic silver blood.
- New Items: A d12 Shopping chart, complete with a haggling mechanic & adventure-specific unique items with a variety of applications. Enjoy perking up with Roasted Bean Tea from your Portable Boiler, or discover that your Stew Mix is also a secret weapon against evil!
- Haunting Mechanic: Players have access to tools with which they can search the area for restless dead to give them lore, clues, & shortcuts.
- 6 Random Travel Encounters: including a shopkeeping witch atop a golem, an ossified tree full of meat-craving vermin, and that most horrid of tortures... a peace so calming, it may drive a warrior mad!
- Emboldened Wildlife Rules: animals and vegetation are filling the void that the stones of man left behind. Victory only solidifies their own claims!
- Garnished With Humor: Contains an exploding rabbit, a blatantly gratuitous "ASS-MONSTER", and a zombie who dreams only of agriculture.
Will your doomed skvm survive the twisted puzzles, existential dread, and other-worldly minions of chaos? Or, will their sanity escape them before their last dying breath? Can this doomed world even be saved - and if so, at what cost?
This adventure is compatible with MÖRK BORG and includes instructions for using the supplements EAT PREY KILL and THE MERCHANT. It features original writing and art by Z. Mann Zilla (and, of course, Some Dead People).
