A sampling from the role of poisons in the deep woods. We had the drawings prepared in advance, but it lacks some editorial polish today because we were in Essen buying games at SPIEL all day 😆 Day 22 - Poison #morktober #mörktober #ttrpg #rpg #dark #october

In the drawing are 3 different poison items.
One poison bottle with orange liquid and mushrooms inside.
Next is a necklace with a red amulet and a sharp needle beside it.
Third is a ring with retractable pieces and a sharp tip with green substance dripping down.

On the twenty-second day of #Mörktober, POISON (for Pirate Borg). Art by me. Text by @metamer.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a bilge flooded with putrid waters. Skulls float, eyeballs bob, and even the rats drown in its filthy muck. The text reads: Bilges aboard Scourge ships accumulate all manner of dead and undead matter. This slurry serves a dual purpose: collection of waste aboard the ship and an easy storage space for valuables. Very few among the living are willing to come into contact with necropotent sludge. Those who do must Test Toughness DR 14 or take d6 damage and become Infected. There is a 1-in-6 chance that this infection is a zombie infection(PB.94).

On the twenty-first day of #Mörktober, Walls (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of an underwater scene featuring a sheer cliff diving down into darkness, where undead figures make a futile effort to climb out from the depths. A school of fish idly glides across the expanse, unbothered by the undead. Near the top ledge, several oysters rest with their shells open and pearls exposed in the shallows—creating a stark contrast to the dark, cold depths below, where shadows of the clamoring undead await any hapless soul. The text reads, "Zombies aren't known for their intelligence. As such, a number of them have tumbled over the edge of this trench, most of them catching on the trench walls. Over years the bottom of the trench has become littered with valuables, both belongings of the zombies and from the remains of those attempting to obtain those valuables, adding to the piles of riches. To descend without encountering the undead, Test Agility DR 16 for each person navigating the trench. Failure means getting too close to the undead which will then throw themselves at the living. At the bottom of the trench can be found d6 cutlasses, d100 silver, d6 gems worth 100s each, 1 random Arcane Relic(PB.62-63), and d6 zombies(PB.94-95)."

#MÖRKtober Day 20: Crab Your group approaches the shore of The Endless Sea, and you find the towering remains of a giant crab washed ashore. It’s clear it’s been there for sometime. Perhaps you could use its left over exoskeleton as a shelter. You may even get lucky and find something useful inside.

On the twentieth day of #Mörktober, CRAB (for Pirate Borg). Art by me. Text by @metamer.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a bulky undead pirate sitting on a rickety stool. His skin is littered with holes from hermit crabs burrowing in his flesh. Apologies to any sufferers of Trypophobia. Some hermit crabs can be seen peeking out of these holes. Another hermit crab is sneaking a peek from beneath his cap and another his crawling out from his buttcrack. The text reads: Undead at sea for long periods of time can become an ecosystem for other creatures. Using the stats of any corporeal undead, supplement with the following, reflecting what creatures have taken up nesting in the undead:
1. Crabs Add d2 armor from the additional chitinous creatures
2. Sea Urchins +2 damage due to exposed spines and Test Toughness DR 12 or become poisoned
3. Snails +2 DR to hit from snail slime coating the undead
4. Algae +2 DR to defense as the algae obscures the undead's actual movements

Day 19 of #MÖRKTOBER with "Demon"! It appeared through a clamoring of bells and horns that seemed to split apart my head. It offered two closed fists and I knew I was to pick only one as my prize. I chose with a shaking digit as the thing's fingers unfurled. Only dust and sand.

On the nineteenth day of #Mörktober, Demon (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a bottle, it's neck and top coated with red wax. The bottle is detailed in a fashion to suggest an entity with forked tongue, sharp teeth, and tentacles. The text reads, "The Demon Drink
Not all rum is good for what ails you. This demon-tainted rum offers a bargain: drink it down and gain d2 Devil's Luck but, until all of the imbiber's Devil's Luck is spent they are cursed. All reaction rolls involving the imbiber are rolled with 1d6 and all enemies of theirs pass morale checks. Additionally, stepping on holy ground does d4 damage to the imbiber."

On the eighteenth day of #Mörktober, HOLLOW (for Pirate Borg). Art by me. Text by @metamer.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a zombie curled up in a barrel. A wicked grin suggests that the zombie is waiting to be found by its next victim. A small, innocuous fish idly swims within the barrel that floats in a sea of orange. The text reads: In Scourge-infested waters, barrels float, sometimes holding treasure but sometimes holding sodden undead to ambush the greedy plunderer. Roll d6: 1 - Hollow and empty; 2-4 - Roll on Loot the Body(PB Front Endpaper); 5-6 - Some sort of undead lurks within.

MÖRKTOBER 17 - BIRD #mörkborg #mörktober #bird #ttrpg #ttrpgart

A grotesque woodcut of a malformed humanoid with a rubbery, elongated neck and face that sharpens into a beak. Beneath him stands a large bird with four legs and extra wings. The caption reads: “Nearly twice the meat my Lord, colossal eggs, I’ve found no ill effects.”

On the seventeeth day of #Mörktober, Bird (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a wake of vultures, perched over a splatter of unidentified remains. The vultures show signs of ASH use, their bones glowing through their skin. The text reads, "Carrion Conniver
No shortage of dead bodies among the undead, these birds make their homes in the masts of Scourge ships.
HP 8 Morale 5 No Armor
Peck d6
Necrotic Bile d8 Usable once per combat. After using, the Carrion Conniver goes first in initiative the following round, lightened by the release of digestive fluids and its targets disgusted by the burning disgorgement."

On the sixteenth day of #Mörktober, Ship (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a brigatnine, flying the jolly roger. It has been repaired by applying dead things to the hull, including a figurehead that is the skull and lantern of a lanternfish. The text reads, "The ship, if it had a name, is as lost as the names of the dead that crew it. After years of neglect, this brigantine has been repaired by necromancy, leading to a patchwork of timber, rope, tar, skin, bone, souls, and blood.

On the fifteenth day of #Mörktober, Fiber (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of coconut, its fiber unraveling, and a finger reaching out of it while an eye peaks out of a crack in the coconut. The text reads, "Coconut Ghost
Sometimes used as a spy, other times as a guard, this coconut has been forcibly imbued with a spirit by a necromancer. After years of use the coconut vessel has begun to fray and weather.
HP 6 Morale Special Coconut Shell -d2
Head Bash d4
Fragile Vessel When defending against, if a natural 20 is rolled, the coconut breaks. The Coconut Ghost then flees back to its creator, gaining the Ethereal trait (DR 14 to attack and defend)."

On the thirteenth day of #Mörktober, Frail (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a female necromancer sitting on a highbacked chair behind a table, her facial expression snarling as she draws in the life of an unknown victim. The text reads, "Catherine Monvoisin has captained a ship of undead for decades, extending her life by necromantic means. However, the forces of time an only be held at bay so long and her body has begun to lose what vital essences she has clung so tenaciously to. Now at the end of her days, she spends most of her time in the captain's quarters, only venturing forth when freshly feasted upon the souls of the living, seeking to gain more life by any means necessary.

Catherine Monvoisin
Frail but fraught with power and purpose
HP 20 Morale 8 Bone Armor -d2
Life Drain Test Spirit DR 14 or take d8 damage
Bone Blades 2d6
Human Frailty Catherine Monvoisin is largely unable to move or attack until she has succeeded at a Life Drain attack, after which she can act as she pleases for d4 rounds"

On the thirteenth day of #Mörktober, Relic (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a number of personal effects, including a hurdy-gurdy, a dutch onion bottle draped in cloth, a locket, a book, and a dead parrot. The text reads, "The Personal Effects of the Undead
Vestiges of their living existences, some undead carry personal relics of their former selves. What are they carrying? Roll a d10:
1. Musical instrument, which they try to play, badly
2. Pet bird, long deceased
3. Broken cutlass, d4 damage
4. Random hat(PB.52), 50% of being on their head
5. Bottle of rum, still corked
6. Medical Kit(PB.52), 1-in-6 chance they will try to use it on someone else on their turn
7. Locket, gazes at it longingly

10. Tome containing a random Arcane Ritual(PB.64-65), which they occasionally attempt to cast at a DR 18"

On the twelfth day of #Mörktober, PYRE (for Pirate Borg). Art by me. Text by @metamer.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An arrangement of several illustrations; a burning funeral pyre, a concretion of cremains, and a hand that has been greviously burned with peeling, reddened flesh and blistered fingertips. The text reads: Concretionary Cremains
What was left behind...
A charred mass of burnt timber, flesh, and melted belongings. Use this Ancient Relic and one target must test SPIRIT DR 12 or burn for 1d4 damage for 1d4 rounds. After using the Relic, a fumble on the SPIRIT check results in the user's skin scorching and peeling, dealing 2d8 damage. The Relic then breaks and leaves the wielder with a permanently burned visage.

On the eleventh day of #Mörktober, Ear (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a severed ear with multiple gold and bejeweled piercings. A maggot crawls out of the ear canal. The text reads, "A tribute to "you can't take it with you," the assorted earrings on this severed ear are worth 100 silver to any willing to detach them. But what curses were vowed? This ear might still be listening..."

jouste @jouste.bsky.social · 2w ago

Day 11 of #MÖRKTOBER with "Ear"! Large and terrible goblin ears pick up the slightest sound, leading these wretches to their doomed prey. Filthy fangs and mud caked claws will seek out and find the unfortunate travelers and inflict upon them the curse most foul! The most terrible transformation!

The next description reads: "They emerge at night, attracted to the lights of encampments and villages. At a comfortable distance they take aim and release flaming arrows indiscriminately. Once panic ensues they instinctively select the same target and attack them relentlessly." Beneath that: "Captured 40s/Destroyed 10s"

An illustration of a pirate with a Jolly Rodger flag seemingly possessed and trying to violently constrict its victim who is screaming in terror and trying to rip it away. The text reads: Momento Mori Once a possession, now possessed by a ghost with nothing better to do than torment the living. HP 16 Morale - No Aror Smother d6 Suffocation Test Toughnoess DR12 to break free on each subsequent turn. Masquerade. Until it moves, indistinguishable from a mundane flag.

On the eighth day of #Mörktober, Wail (for Pirate Borg). Text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social #pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG

An illustration of a sailing ship, its sails made of a patchwork of skin with the suggestion of mouths. The test reads "Wailing Sails.

Got a wail of tale to tell ya, lads, lassies, and lassos
A wail of a tale or two
'Bout a ship on the seas with sails a screamin'
Voices of the dead on the waves a sailin'
A wail of a tale, and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

Scourge ships outfitted with Wailing Sails require those facing them to roll Morale under a 6 as part of their Terrifying feature. Ships crewed by the living with these sails gain the Terrifying feature."
