Latest Updates from Our Project:

STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED! MÖRKTASTIC BEASTS IS NOW 220+ PAGES
3 months ago – Fri, Mar 20, 2026 at 10:03:23 AM

CAUSTIC UNLOCKED! 

Five stretch goals deep and the book just keeps getting bigger and meaner. Eight more pages of Caustic's grotesque creations are now in Mörktastic Beasts, which means the book has crossed 220 pages! For those keeping score, that's more than double the length of the MÖRK BORG core rulebook. This thing has taken on a wild and strange life of its own.

Next stretch goal — $25K: Physical Upgrades. The book has earned it! We love the silk ribbon marker bound into the MÖRK BORG rulebook, and since Mörktastic Beasts is now twice as long as that book, we figured it deserves one too. We'll also be adding color-coordinated headbands and footbands. These are the kind of details you feel every time you pick the book up, and the kind of thing that elevates a book to an artifact.

You know the drill by now. Share the campaign, tell people about it, help us keep unlocking stretch goals so we can keep making this thing better for everyone who backed it!

NOHR STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED!
3 months ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 03:36:29 PM

Four stretch goals—in 36 hours!

You all are making this book into something truly monstrous in the best possible way.

Six new pages of content inspired by Johan Nohr's art are now part of Mörktastic Beasts. Johan Nohr is of course the artist and graphic designer behind MÖRK BORG itself. His style is immediate, violent, funny, and unforgettable. A collision of screaming color, ink-dripping filth, punk graphics, and apocalyptic fantasy. He's also the artist behind the black light poster in our reward tiers (and available as an add-on), so now you know whose vision you'd be hanging on your wall.

Next stretch goal — $22K: Even More Art by Caustic! When we saw this first illustration that Caustic created for the book before launch, we knew that we were going to have to double-down if the project took off... No next up we'll be adding eight additional pages of grotesque content illustrated by Caustic to the digital and physical editions.

We keep unlocking these because you keep sharing the campaign. Don't stop now! Tell your friends, post it in your groups, link it wherever people care about weird and beautiful things being made by hand. The more stretch goals we hit, the bigger and meaner this book gets for everyone.

SAPROPHIAL ARTWORK UNLOCKED! NEXT UP: NOHR AT $18K
3 months 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
3 months 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!
3 months 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.
