We are in our final 6 days to back “The Sky is Falling”, so I wanted to dive into what you’re getting in our jam-packed book. You know the art style, and the theme but how does our book add to your Mork Borg Collection?
A “fresh” start -
For those who want to transition their characters and campaigns into this world below the surface, we have both the rules, rolls, and thematics that will take preexisting Mork Borg characters down into the depths following 7:7, giving them new scars (physical & emotional), new items and more. We also have Apocalypse Generators for those who want to up the variety or are converting a non-Mork Borg game to the tunnels.
New PC’s -
Besides the new gear, secrets, tunnel tendencies, and mortal coils for your player characters, there are 6 new classes.
The Tunnel Knight,
and their dutiful squire who hand bellows stale air into their sealed (and rank) armored suit.
The Silhouette Puppeteer,
who turns shadowed tale into something tangible.
The Next,
what was once a person has been so bloated and turned from their Toxic living to become something new.
The Ornamental Hermit,
an unwelcomed pariah part of an obsidian powder harvesting secret society.
The Pack-Rat,
who knows your life is only as valuable as your collection of junk.
and
The Censer-Bearer,
he who is at war with the very air itself!
Optional mechanics fit for a world below -
The toxic life after the end of the world is now measured in TOX. The higher your buildup of TOX the more your chances to develop MUTATIONS or worse.
AIR QUALITY. Besides toxicity “fresh” air can be hard to come by. Grab yourself an air bladder, or risk succumbing to the ever-thinning air of the deepest tunnels.
THE DARKNESS is tangible in the deepest parts of this sub-life. Cling to the light to stave off its control over you or accept the whispers and take on CORRUPTION in exchange for shadowed GIFTS.
CAVE PAINTINGS! Scrolls are too hard to read or maintain in this paperless expanse. Strange powers and magics are maintained through the ancient art of cave painting!
DM Tools -
We have settlement generators, and NPCs for interactions on the fly, shops & merchants to spend all your hard-earned (or stolen) silver, resources to gather, cults to encounter and more!
Hazards to plug into your own dungeons, from living fleshwalls to man-shaped holes, toxic gasses to poison fungi. 15+ new characters and creatures in the bestiary. From Albino body snatchers to torturous cults, gas huffers, statue makers, the Whisper King, and everything in between.
6 ready-to-play Adventures, “The Choice”, “Under the Well”, “Way Down”, “Denial”, “Oubliette 666”, and a tbn guest dungeon!
All bundled in a hand-crafted, flavor text FILLED package.
The Sky is Falling aims to give you the tools you need to keep rolling long after your first tunnel!

4- OPSLUK the FINAL BASILISK!

We are in the final week and we have passed our first stretchgoal!
So OUBLIETTE 666, will officially be added to the adventure section of the book. It’s not too late to submit your ideas for other Oubliettes, just head over to that update and comment your thoughts for a chance to become your own Warden.
As we are in the final week, we are steadily approaching my own personal goal of getting 100 books in the hands of tunnelers! As you already see the theme of our book and world, throughout the week I will show off and talk more about some of the optional mechanics we add to Mork Borg to help cement us in that world. Take a look through our table of contents on the campaign page and let me know if there’s anything specific you want to know about!
In the meantime, another timelapse and a look at our Basilisk! It wouldn’t be Mork Borg without it! Obscured in perpetual cloud of toxic gas, those mad enough to linger get a glimpse of IT.
“One and one-headed rests IT.
What once was Spett and Flofftur are now OPSLUK.
By tooth and talon, as the many basilisks fell
one slipped away.
In its frenzied tunneling, IT slipped deep beneath the soon-to-die world.
How long such a beast can dine on nothing but darkness and fungi
before its mind is turned to mush?
All that’s left of this final basilisk is the paranoid and noxious
OPSLUK and the dizzying gases that emanate from IT’s mutilated neck.
Be warned, there are those who linger within those toxic clouds
Devotees to the mad serpent.
In their toxic wake come that madness.
Huff the fumes or face the cult,
all lies within the hand crafted tome.”
Within the final book are all the rules you need for Opsluk, IT’s followers and the madness that twists the brains of those who huff these toxic fumes!

We’ve past 50 backers and are ever closer to our first stretch goal! I wanted to celebrate passing the 50 mark with a little spotlight on the process, unfortunately, my “spotlight” was too strong and the video is hazier than I expected… but I’ve got a plan!
Here’s a peak into the process of making the art for this book, and our first look at the ORNAMENTAL HERMIT class!
Check out some time lapses of the process!
Since this was a little hazier then I’d have hoped I want to do another run though of the process, what do YOU want to see manifested in paper and tape?
The Whisper King - In his chittering.
A Skegalitte - Of the albino brood.
or
OSPSLUK the FINAL - They who were once two-headed, but no longer…

2 - Oubliette 666

DAY 1 is down and we are funded! Thank you all for the support, here’s to life in the tunnels and the horrors that wait!
Speaking of horrors, one thing I wanted to be sure of in this book was its usability. One of the biggest aspects of that was playable adventures, dungeons, and encounters for the group that needed to play at a moment's notice. I’ve ran Rotblack Sludge more times than I can count because I don’t always have time to prep a new dungeon. Within TSIF I wanted to players to be able to pick up the book and go, so besides the 5 adventures included in the book our first stretch goal aims to bump that up to 6!
At $3,500 we will add “OUBLIETTE 666” to the book!
The past may be dead, but there are still those unlucky enough to be trapped within the Oubliettes of the surface… and the trials faced within.
Designed for those looking to fulfill their dark fantasy vault-dwelling fantasies, Oubliettes are an option element you can add both to the post-apocalyptic world of TSIF, or the active-apocalyptic world of Mork Borg. Who knows how many of these sealed vaults are scattered throughout the ruins of the dead or dying world, those who were let in where promised safety… what actually happened to them was far from it.
The Shadowking grants his deranged wardens free reign of those within the Oubliettes, letting their sick experiments unfold without respite.
What would you do if given an Oubliette to warden over?
Comment your experiments below and we will add our favorites to our growing list of Oubliettes!
