Horrors be damned, I'm making this game.
Set in a dying world inspired by the wild west, but without America's despicable history. People from all walks of life struggle together, trying to survive a doomed world afflicted by a curse unleashed by detached and apathetic rich people. #ttrpg #morkborg

I've recently learned that I think I'm a massive fan of David Lynch's work. Saw Eraserhead ages ago and I hated it, I wrote him off as over hyped.
I recently started watching Twin Peaks, which has lead me down the rabbit hole to his YouTube weather forecasts.
This man was an absolute treasure.

I had no idea this was an actual thing, I thought it was just a bizzarre design choice for one of the skins in @huntshowdown.com

Been practicing layout and saddle stitching for zines by creating a mini solo experience for The Dead & The Damned. It's heavily inspired by the original @morkborg.com but I had a lot of fun making it. #ttrpg #morkborg #roleplaying #osr #occultwestern

I really wanted to like Hold Your Breath because there are not many horror westerns to begin with, especially good ones.
Unfortunately despite the great performances and costuming, this leaned far too hard on mental illness tropes when it could have been great as a supernatural thriller.

Woof, Twitter is rough. There must be no legit advertisers left over there. I logged on to this and I can't even fathom why any algo I touch would feed me this. I think it might be about time to nuke Twitter and just start over here with a solid effort.

Today we are happy to finally reveal a piece of key art for The Dead & The Damned to the public. If you're into the idea of an occult horror TTRPG with a focus on surviving a doomed western hellscape (yet devoid of historical context) powered by @morkborg.bsky.social then maybe toss us a follow?

Saw the "Recommend me a Tabletop RPG based on my 4 most rewatched TV shows" trend and decided to participate, but immediately realized that I'm already making this game myself.

Spooky bullshit has arrived at local craft stores, time to stock up on year-round home decor. These bat pillows will look great as throws on my bed.
