As planned I bought Quai ouest a play by French author Koltès, which could be summarised with everything in life (especially under capitalism) is a sale between someone who needs and someone who owns, a failed and broken kind of sale

I just remembered something right before it faded permanently away, like long forgotten childhood song: I used to reread Koltès once a year, then something happened, a blur. What was it? Social networks? Processes? Performance? what have they done to us? Tomorrow I’m re-buying « Quai ouest «

Hi! I'm Lur Noise and I do illustration, concept art and comics.

I love drawing sci-fi, fantasy, tech, architecture, critters and plants. I'm available for both commissions and longer work!

#PortfolioDay
Color illustration of a spaceship desk, filled to the brim with retrofuturistic tech. The monitors and lights of the panels light up the scene, and the logo of the game can be seen on the screens. Poster style color illustration of An Antidote for Strychnine, a song by The Mountain Goats. It's composed of several panels displaying different images based on the song: lab rats, chemicals, fish bones... Green and blue tones predominate, but the band's name and the song title are written in yellow. Color illustration of a gas filled armored being. The armor is translucent in parts on the limbs and their spherical head, where said gas can be seen. Color illustration of some red slipper lobsters resting atop of a tiled, half flooded floor. The tiles are blue and yellow, with fleur-de-lis flowers drawn on them.

Please look forward to MORKBERT: THE INGROWN TALON, a thirteen-floor Morktacular Megadungeon where up to six doomed heroes raid a warlock's apocalypse bunker and discover that it's getting bigger, weirder, and more dangerous than ever. See you in May, sinners!

#morkborg #morktober
robertinthewires.bsky.social Robert In The Wires || Mr. 404 @robertinthewires.bsky.social · 24d
Hi! For #Morktober, I took last year's prompts and this year's prompts and stitched them together to make a megadungeon. I couldn't finish it this month, but I will continue working on it for the remainder of the year and will have it ready for May 2026.

Check out some samples from the Word doc!
Reads: FIRST FLOOR: THE MAW The rigid pathway leading from the entrance will carry the adventurers down to the next set of doors. Around our heroes will be walls of crimson stone marked with jagged white stalactites and stalagmites. The bodies of other wanderers and adventurers can be found littering the floor. Some are pierced to the white stones or trapped between them. Eagle-eyed PCs will recognize this is built similar to a mouth, like the massive serrated jaws of a lamprey. The road itself it not unlike a tongue. Offer a chance to stray from the path and loot some of the corpses lying around the red canyon. The stones around the path appear slick. Players may notice that it reacts to their movement. Roll to see what the PCs find on the bodies. Add a +1 if they choose to move Stealthily (Agility DR13) or Smartly (Presence DR13): 1, 2, 3: Crushed bone, broken iron, and shredded cloth. 4: Rusted armour. (Breaks after being hit once) 5: d3 Centipedes, each as long as your hand (HP: 1. Bite: 1, risk of Infection) Reads: OVERZEALOUS PALADIN The Order of the Vast Skies has long-protected the land from evil. You are – were? – a brave Paladin who served the great Bishop Zweigard. However, you were too keen to fight off against the monsters and heretics of the Dying Lands. Sadly, your efforts were not appreciated, but when word of the Talon's reemergence reached the Church, you volunteered to burn it down. To your surprise, the Bishop agreed. Perhaps it was the only way to be rid of you. YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO CLEANSE THE TALON. Destroy its most heretical aspects. WHAT WAS THE ONE TIME WHERE YOU "WENT TOO FAR?" (d6) 1. "Never flog someone to death with a censer. They're more fragile than you realize." 2. "That village burned down on its own, I swear." 3. "So what if I tortured the wrong guy? Flaying builds character!" 4. "Apparently you can have "too many people" in a torture chamber." 5. "Who amongst us hasn't wanted to crucify someone themselves?" 6. "Look, that orphanarium was FILLED with dangerous grimoires." Begins with 3d6x3 Silver and d3 Omens HP: d10+Toughness ABILITIES Sword of Holy Wrath, 3d6+3 to Strength Unlikable Fanatic, 3d6-3 to Presence You deal an extra d6 damage against undead, demonic, or heretical enemies. If you deal full damage, roll Presence DR12 to not go berserk and attack your allies. Reads: EMPTY VASSAL Undead serfs working to keep the Talon together. Dug up from graveyards around the realm, or are former Devout who died in service to Zandt or Mezos. HP: 3 MORALE: 6 BLUNT, RUSTED SWORD. d3 RAGS. No Armour. Cannot be charmed, poisoned, or infected. ICHOR SPRAY. Chance of vomiting up the ectoplasm holding them together. d6 damage, burns. CARCASS BALLOON Bloated, drifting corpse, floating along using trapped gas and black magic. Sentient and suicidal. HP: 5 MORALE: 10 CLAWS AND TEETH. d4 RUBBERY BODY. -d3 TENDON STRING. DR12 or get entangled by a reticulated tendril dangling underneath it. POP! The Balloon will either burst of their own volition or explode if they are killed in one hit, dealing d10 to everyone nearby. The sound of the pop is deafening. Reads: 1:1 URN FULL OF CORPSE ASH. 1:2 d3 STRIPS OF DRIED MEAT. Tastes like pork (isn't). 1:3 SILVER SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS. Caked in dried blood. 1:4 WINGED HARNESS. Strength DR14 to fly. Agility DR14 to fly well. 1:5 SACK OF BONES. Mix of human and animal. Has d3 gold teeth, worth d6x5 silver each. 1:6 GRIMOIRE. On the nature of succubi. Filled with racy drawings. Pages stuck together. 2:1 SET OF FALSE TEETH. d4 are gold, worth 10 silver each. 2:2 VIAL OF PISS. 2:3 HEADSTONE. Yours, apparently? 2:4 WAILING RING. Emotionally drains the wearer. DR16 to give a shit about something. 2:5 HORRIFYING PAINTING. Depicts a howling, bleeding noble. Worth d666 silver. Cursed. 2:6 JEWELLED SCARAB BEETLE. Worth d6x30 silver. Moves. 3:1 GILDED BREECHES. 3:2 ALABASTER SUNDIAL. 3:3 SMALL WITCH'S CAULDRON. Collect bones, chemicals, and plants to brew a Curse. 3:4 WOODEN FROG-SHAPED OCARINA. 3:5 BONE KEY. For a chest in the Treasury. Roll d6. 1, 2: Filled with hungry bats. 3-6: 100 silver.

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 13: WEB

"THRELKIS and her seven daughters maintain the old ways. When the giants walked the earth, her ancestors spun the cables for their great bridges. Now she huddles in this castle with her children, clacking prayers to absent gods."

Words by me, art by @nohr.se
THRELKIS and her seven daughters maintain the old ways. When the giants walked the earth, her ancestors spun the cables for their great bridges.. Now she huddles in this castle with her children, mandibles clacking prayers to absent gods, still filled with the need to serve. While they wait for the return of the giants they practice new construction techniques. Their webs span every room and structure, testing tension, and thickness, and load-bearing capacity. They keep a collection of ancient giant tools, each one a holy relic. For enough tribute, they’ll part with measuring chains that calculate impossible distances, plumb-lines with unbreakable cord that always point to the centre of the earth no matter how gravity shifts around them, iron foundation stakes as long as a man is tall. Word has reached them that Glopstepalof seeks their expertise. They’re terrified of the frog-wizard but their purpose demands that they answer when they’re called upon to serve. They know that when the flood comes again, someone will need to build above it. THRELKIS HP 18 Armour -d6 Morale 7 Mandiles d8 Art shows a ruined fortress covered in spiderwebs
