Mork Borg, Mörk Borg, MORK BORG.

Galgenbeck is encircled. Social structures crumble. What would your party do to survive Three Weeks in the Streets? Hell awaits.

Kickstarter is live- funded in one day & the first stretch goal is already unlocked. Get a copy of this zine while you still can.

Day 10 of #MÖRKTOBER is Beetle! A Sturdy and twitching pendant prevents damage! After every defense, a leg is lost! But those who beetle charm too frivolously may have to answer to the horrible creature that procures these strange pendants and be used as jewelry themselves!

Tw: animals as food

#mörktober keeps going on, today's prompt was Beetle. I believe these have the nutrients you need for an evening of masquerade vigilantism in #mgclgrrrl or not die by starvation in #cy_borg

HELLTÖBER DAY 10: BEETLE
A rebel audit made flesh: EXCHEQAR is the chit-scarab swarm that tore itself out of Hell's own paperwork, a living breach in the Ledger Eternal.

Day 10: Beetle. Ok. Hear me out. Mörkship Trööpborgs. Starborg Morktroops? Giant insects have been hibernating underground for a thousand years and make the hellscape of Mörk Borg somehow worse when they wake up. #mörktober #morktober

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 10: BEETLE

"Out of the bottomless Múr they come, crawling and scuttling on thrice-kneed legs. When giants roamed the land and everything was bigger they were little more than lice, but the giants have gone and all but the beetles have shrunk."

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se

BEETLE
Album: Vile Creature - Cast of Static & Smoke (2018)

Out of the bottomless Múr they come, crawling and scuttling on thrice-kneed legs. When giants roamed the land and everything was bigger they were little more than lice, but the giants have gone and all but the beetles have shrunk.

Their carapaces are thick as castle walls, thick veins of amber in the black still pulsing with slow, cold giant blood. They drag themselves up from the deep places, mandibles clacking, searching for the warmth of the giants. Finding only men, they settle for crushing us instead.

They nest in the ruins of giant-works - old bridges, fallen towers, the hollow skulls of colossi. The sound of their approach is that of an avalanche learning to walk.

Múr Beetle
HP 24 Armor -d8 (chitinous shell) Morale -
Mandibles d10
Defense DR 8 (slow and ponderous)

Giant Blood: When the beetle takes 6+ damage in a single blow, ichor sprays from their husk. Test Agility DR 12 or be coated in the caustic fluid (d4 damage per round until scraped off).

Any attempt to move a dead beetle requires a dozen strong men or a team of oxen. Their shells can be carved into shields or sold for 600s to armourers.

Beneath Their Shells (d6)
A clutch of eggs the size of a human head
A dessicated giant’s finger wearing a silver ring worth 500s
A colony of smaller beetles (d100, HP 2 each, d2 damage)
The wet echo of something vast and dreaming
Enough blood to fill three barrels (50s each to an alchemist)
Scroll lodged in the carapace written in the language of the giants

An illustration to the right of the page shows a massive horrible beetle.

The more you do it the easier it gets. You're off to a great start! Keep at it.

Mörkticia @elih14.bsky.social · 2d

Honestly, one of my favorite submissions I've read. Martyring yourself into a perpetual stew is extremely Mörk Borg.

Pace is brutal, but in a fun way? I've been forcing myself to do it every day and it's turned me into a bit of a machine. Definitely a confidence booster that I can get shit done.

#MORKtober 2025 Day 5- Stain:

White zine page with black art of a shirtless person looking into their reflection in a body of water (by Jaen Nighly Butler @jnb.art ). Black & red text reads: "The Remains of St. Rhyzan. Liquified & martyred, it is said St. Rhyzan sometimes appears reflected in spilled blood. If you're fortunate enough to see Her, adding your own blood restores 1 Omen per 3 HP sacrificed. Aiming to feed a nigh-infinite supply if orphans in a dying world was thought a fool's errand. To that end, St. Rhyzan mixed herself into a perpetual stew, which has not emptied to this day- thanks to diligent monks & the generous donations of scum like you."
