Now for something a little different...
Knock! is maybe my favorite RPG product in existence. I'm not kidding. It's an amazing magazine dedicated to OSR and NuSR style RPGs, and it's the thing that got me into the whole OSR. It's full of blog articles, dungeons, monsters, traps, and generators. For a while, I actually thought Knock! and Mörk Borg were made by the same people, because...

Happy Halloween!
I’ve had a very productive month. I spent the better chunk of it working on a new Pirate Borg adventure, and it would have been perfect to release on Halloween, but sadly isn’t not quite ready yet. The Coral Reef Kit is also coming soon, but I want to add a few more bits to make it as useable as I can. And I have a very exciting new collaboration and partnership which we will be debuting soon.

It is with great pride (and relief… SO many assets in this one) that I release the long overdue GALLEON map!
I knew I wanted to draw a galleon when I started this Patreon. It’s not actually a ship that made a lot of historical appearances in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, but it makes very regular appearances in Pirate pop culture. The Black Pearl is kind of a galleon, ghost ships are often galleons, one of the three ships you can pilot in S...

But the first release each month will be a battle map, asset pack, city map, or similar that may or may not be for the Dark Caribbean. So cast your votes on what you'd like me to work on!

The damned and blasphemous city of C’thagn is risen from the depths of the ocean. Regurgitated by the frothing waves, long since tired of its noisome aura.
This contemptible citadel was not constructed by human hands, as is evident in its abhorrent architecture,
Yet it is humans now who walk down its fetid streets.
I am very excited to announce a special Patreon-only early release of the first official supplement for PIRATE BORG:...
