#mörktober Day 8 - Wizard

A mycorrhiza born from nullmarked humans and alien fungus. Welcome the itinerant preacher of nuflesh; decay of both life and reality.
#ttrpg #morkborg #art

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 8 - Wizard. Learn more at morksol.com A walking corpse, its upper body blooming into a cowl of fungus and skulls, steps through a rotting landscape. Spores cloud the foreground and split the sky, above which looms a rotting world. Nullmarked Mycorform. Xenofungal reality sculptor. Harbinger of nuflesh. The colonizer turned colony: mycorrhiza born from nullmarked human settlers and native fungi unwilling to share the stars. Their pathogenic properties are now unburdened by the laws of nature. HP 12 | Morale 9 | No Armor. Touch of Decay d4 and target tests Brawn DR12 or suffers a random alteration: 1. Rapid Decomposition: Random body part withers away in d6 rounds; 2. Voice of the Colony: Under the mycoform’s control for d3 rounds; 3. Sporific Blessing: Fall unconscious for d10 rounds. Heal the mycoform 2 HP each round they are asleep; 4. Fungual Transmutation: d4 damage and roll life support as if the atmosphere was not breathable. Reality Colonization: Physics are wrong within 5 meters of the mycoform. Tests in that area that involve precise movement (such as attack and defense) are +2DR.

#mörktober Day 7 - Shard

Scourge Artifacts. Always dangerous, and usually tempting. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be so valuable.
#ttrpg #morkborg #art

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 7 - Shard. Learn more at morksol.com A shard of glass floats through a cosmos filled with dark energy. A projection of the future (or past?) looms in its reflection, bleak and twisted by the object’s inherent malevolence. Temporal Sliver. Space holds firm in the reflection as time slides towards the mind’s eye. When you observe… THE PAST… to observe is to change. Test DR14 Spine. On success, swap two of your abilities. On fail, die. THE FUTURE… knowing imposes stasis. You have advantage on all tests until you fail, but you can’t use Ripples. When you fail, test DR14 Spine to prevent it from becoming a fumble. Scourge Artifact: Add the [SCOURGE] tag to your Skip’s cargo.

#mörktober Day 6 - Husk

One Husk is bad. A few are worse. But what happens when the end of one Husk is indistinguishable from the beginning of the next? Even in death, Skavs survive (and kill) together.
#ttrpg #morkborg #art

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 6 - Husk. Learn more at morksol.com A hulking behemoth of pathwork spacesuits and artificially preserved flesh looms. Massive claws reach as withered limbs teeter from above. The glow of the eyes, peering out from the electronics that labor on despite its occupants’ deaths, seem to create a crown of light. The Huskking. Even in death, Skavs survive together. Micro-gravity binds the suits of the dead, AI mimics what remains of their souls. HP 24 | Morale - | Patchwork Suits -d6. 4x Punch d3+2. Decaying Suit: lose one tier of armor and one attack every time it takes 5 or more damage. Preservation Instincts: Incorporates killed Skavs into its body, restoring one lost armor tier and one lost attack.

This is an advanced gestalt of the more common Husk: the result of life support cannibalizing a suit's occupant in a failed attempt to preserve its life.

#mörktober Day 5 - Stain

Rumors of angelic creatures that can remove Null-sickness abound on the back-channels of the Commwave. Providence? Or predator?
#ttrpg #morkborg #art

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 5 - Stain. Learn more at morksol.com A strange life-form, its head a halo projected against the bleak infinite of space, hovers towards you.

#mörktober Day 3 - Daggers

What’s better than a bad ass dagger for slicing up space pirates and hostile space fauna? TWO bad ass daggers.
#ttrpg #morkborg #art

Two highly augmented, science fiction combat daggers are arranged above a tactical bag. Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 4 - Maw. Learn more at morksol.com Two Badass Daggers. Price: d8 [cargo die]. Uses Agility for melee attacks. d6 damage to d2 targets. The knife with a curved blade, finger loop, contoured grip, and tactical scope attached says “This bitch has aim-assist”. The other, which looks more like an industrial box cutter augmented to be a weapon, says “for opening “things”.”

#mörktober Day 2 - Maw.

A space ship falls into a hole in space time. Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 2 - Maw. Learn more at morksol.com. Ekman Fissures. Null opens its infant maw, eager to consume. Bruises on elderly space-time. The stretch marks of points in the Pattern too-oft frequented. Subluminal travelers find their ships drawn inexplicably towards the anomalies, but without the warning of abnormal gravity. SKIP COMBAT HAZARD. Skips within 2 zones of an Ekman Fissure must be piloted more precisely. +4DR to Helm Position Crew Actions. (DR12 if action doesn’t normally require a test) FAIL: Skip shunts to same zone as fissure (place fissure adjacent to PC Skip). FAIL WHILE ADJACENT: uncontrolled skipping of the pattern. There is a 10% chance of arriving on the other side with a new (and unfriendly) crew member.

Do you love D&D and hate Amazon?

In the summer of 2023, Amazon lost an entire shipment of our books

Two years later, they found the missing shipment, but we don’t want Amazon to profit from it

So we’re on a mission to re-divest the books by giving Amazon’s cut to you at therookandtheraven.com
