I consider myself very fortunate to have been awarded a grant for my work on Print It Yourself. Hope y’all are ready for the next few issues, we have some big things to cover and I have a little budget to spend on materials now!
Thank you again, Ken. This was a kindness.

I am now a publisher.
I know there are so many really great third-party MÖRK BORG titles out there that haven't had a printed version done or are obscure for whatever reason. I'd like to print them and make them more available, sell in my web shop, bring to cons etc. More will hopefully come.

MÖRK BORG CULT, rise from the abyss!
Three third-party MB titles have been marked and become part of the MÖRK BORG Cult of curated content: Horrible Wounds and 1024 by vil, and Pestilent Gifts by Lettuce. All are published by Avgrund AB/Johan Nohr and released at Gothcon, Gothenburg, this weekend.

Wands & Laserguns - a fantasy cyberpunk... um... hexemup?
And This Frog is Ruining my Dungeon Crawl - which is self explanatory really.

Can we all acknowledge that "eat less, move more" is pretty lackluster advice if you don't first ask about food and exercise habits?

From 1973 to 2022, Canada and Denmark were at war.
Over the course of the war, several soldiers on both sides were wounded....by hangovers. And it was all fought over a tiny island the size of a city block.

The scope-creeper would like to know if that project you're working on could maybe needs to be scaled back a bit? Perhaps you could add those extra features as an update or supplemental material? Just sayin'.

I decided to publish a free game design resource guide yesterday. You know, the least advisable day of the year to release anything.
It’s got SRDs, art, design tips, a very short tutorial, and more tables than anyone should put in a 24 page document.
Enjoy?

Are you planning to do a daily dungeon type project this year? I made a free, printable journal for that in 2022. No spark tables, no fluff, just room to write and draw.
I like to print them out and staple them into four-week zines and fill one out a month.
