Latest Updates from Our Project:

SAPROPHIAL ARTWORK UNLOCKED! NEXT UP: NOHR AT $18K
about 1 month ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 06:42:54 AM

Three stretch goals down and we're just getting started! Saprophial's creatures are officially in the book. Every time we unlock one of these I get a little giddy about how massive this bestiary is becoming.

Also worth mentioning, BackerKit is now featuring Mörktastic Beasts on their homepage, which is huge for visibility:


But what actually moves the needle the most is you sharing the campaign with people who'd be into it—so thank you to everyone who has done that so far. A post, a message to your group chat, a link dropped in your Discord; all of it helps more than you'd think.

Next stretch goal—$18K: Six new pages of content inspired by Johan Nohr's art.

This is the artist who defined the visual language of MÖRK BORG, and getting more of his work into the bestiary feels like a necessary step into the dying world we're all playing in. Hopefully we'll have another update about that soon!

ART BY CAUSTIC UNLOCKED! NEXT UP: SAPROPHIAL AT $14K
about 1 month ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 05:17:19 PM

You all are relentless and I love it. We've blown past $12K on day one—which means four new creatures illustrated by Caustic are being added to the book. As he completes his new drawings during the course of this campaign we will make any completed original artwork available as add-ons! The bestiary keeps growing...

Next stretch goal — $14K: Art by Saprophial!


Four new monstrosities rendered in her incredible ink and graphite style get added to the digital and physical editions. If you've seen her work you already know what this would mean for the book 🖤

Keep sharing, keep spreading the word. Every stretch goal makes this a bigger, nastier, more beautiful thing!

$10K STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED — THE APOTHEOTIC ARENA ZINE IS HAPPENING!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 01:20:33 PM

We smashed through $10K and that means the Apotheotic Arena Zine is officially a go!

Max has been excited about this one for a while—it's a monster hunting arena game using the creatures from Mörktastic Beasts, and I think it's going to be a blast to play.

A free PDF of the zine is now included at every pledge level, and a physical copy will be included with all physical pledges. If you're already backed, you don't need to do anything: it's yours. But if you want extra copies it is also now available as an add-on.

Next stretch goal — $12K: Art by Caustic! 

Hit that and we add four creatures illustrated by Caustic to the book, with his original artwork available as an add-on. Caustic provided all the B&W illustrations for Twelve Years at Sea, and we can't wait to see what he comes up with when he unleashes is strange imagination in full color! Help us get there by sharing the campaign with anyone who might be into it.

Thank you all for making this happen so fast. More horrors to come.

FUNDED IN 2 HOURS!! THANK YOU!!!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 10:19:25 AM

Thank you all so much for the incredible support this morning! We hit our goal in just two hours and I'm honestly blown away. Every time we launch a project I'm reminded how amazing this community is, and you all showed up hard out of the gate.

This means we are fully funded and moving forward—the nightmares are coming to your table. Now let's talk stretch goals...

Our first stretch goal is at $10K: the Apotheotic Arena Zine, a monster hunting supplement designed by Max, using the creatures from Mörktastic Beasts. When we hit this goal a free PDF goes to everyone, and a physical copy gets included with all physical pledges. We're really excited about this one!

Also, if you haven't had a chance to explore the add-ons yet, go take a look—there are other items from the Flaming Hand vault, original hand-drawn artwork from the illustrators, and some other goodies in there. The originals are one-of-a-kind so once they're claimed that's it.

The single best thing you can do to help us hit those stretch goals is share the campaign with anyone you think would be into it. Word of mouth from people who actually care about this stuff is worth more than anything we could ever do on our end.

Thank you again! More updates coming soon as we chase down that first stretch goal.
