I got halfway through a play test at AireCon three years ago, then had to get back to our stall. Always hankered to play it again!

Me and my daughter are doing #morktober together as #ORGTOBER in the world of office-hack nonsense that is MÖRK ORG. Find out more at beyondcataclysm.co.uk/morkorg/

ORGTOBER day SEVEN: Stress Effigy
It's a tiny, squishy toy that maybe just looks a little bit like your boss. Nothing sinister about that.

(Believe in your heart, and hurt the toy. Test Presence DR12 to see what happens...)

ORGTOBER day SEVEN: Stress Effigy
It's a tiny, squishy toy that maybe just looks a little bit like your boss. Nothing sinister about that.
And yet... on those days when you really really hate your job, to an existential level? Well, sure, you might give it a harder squeeze than normal. Maybe poke it with a pen? Or rip its head off and set it on fire? Surely that's not going to cause any problems? Right?
Believe in your heart, and hurt the toy. Test Presence DR12 to see what happens:
Pass: your boss takes the matching damage.
Fail? The mirror is flipped; you take the damage.

Thinking of buying a cheap iPad for drawing. How much do i need to spend to get one that I won't hate. Happy to go second hand, don't wanna spend the earth

@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 9, 2026, 9:55 AM

Ha, this should have been FOG OF WORK!

@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 8, 2026, 9:22 PM

I love dread, but it's a one trick point for me with narrative. Terror drenched death spiral every time. I feel similarly about Mothership, to a lesser extent.

@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 8, 2026, 6:43 PM

My daughter wrote all the text for this one, and drew the cloud! We're having a fun time doing this one as a father-daughter challenge together!

#ORGTOBER day six, and it's THE FOG OF WAR Memo. Memos are basically MÖRK ORG's version of Scrolls; unreliable danger-magic scribbled onto post-it notes.

#morktober

ORGTOBER day SIX: The FOG OF WORK
The Memo simply said "Fog" on it.
When cast, the fog fills a cubicle sized space, with this effect:
1. Truth mist, makes anyone inhaling it uncomfortably honest.
2. Speeds up work pace by D4 times.
3. Burns off your clothes.
4. Slowly inflates everyone like a balloon.
5. Smells like unicorns.
6. Causes inappropriate hallucinations involving your boss.

Ha, we've even had a copy of Bunny Borg too!

You can buy our lovely silly game at IPR, as well as follow along with daily images and ideas for it on #ORGTOBER

Oh my god, *MORK ORG*

@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 7, 2026, 4:21 PM

Yes, so me and my daughter are doing a fun thing together where draw this and come up with the ideas together.

ORGTOBER day FIVE: The Last Cape You'll Ever Wear.

It's your standard superhero psychosis-inducing semi-formal attire. Looks cool too.

#morktober

You found this cape.
It was stuffed, randomly, behind a long-abandoned locker in the break room. You put it on, laughing at the incongruous idea of combining a cape with a suit—and yet, the instant you fasten it around your neck, something flows into you. A shimmer of superiority ripples in your very soul: it's clear now: You. Are. Incredible.
You end the day standing victoriously on top of the building, a velvet trail fluttering behind you. You, the protector of the workplace, the hero of the second floor!
In fact, your powers continue to grow; in your heart you know you are capable of so much more. Calmly, serenely, you walk to the edge of the roof, give a winning smile to the crowd of shouting admirers below, and step... off... the... roof...

PCs can put on the cape. Whilst they wear it, they roll twice for any d20 Tests and pick the best result. Each time they do this, they become d10% more convinced that they are, in fact, a superhero.
Their bravery and risk-taking are likely to increase in line with this, at 100% they'll know for sure that they are invincible and indestructible. Sadly though, this will not actually be true, however hard they believe it.
@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 7, 2026, 7:25 AM

Anyone out there got a nasty grim looking d20 they wanna take a photo of for me? I want one with a 12 showing as the top face.

#ORGTOBER day FOUR: Desk Marrow

I particularly enjoyed making this when everyone has been drawing these nasty horrible bone marrow drinking concoctions, and we just did an ominous, incongruously large vegetable instead.

#morktober

Clive didn't come to work today and there's a huge marrow where his desk used to be.

Why don't you care? (d10)
1-4 They don't pay you to care.
5 The marrow is significantly more productive than Clive ever was.
6 Clive used to trim his toenails at his desk. Whatever happened to him, he deserved it.
7 You never bothered to learn Clive's name. Now you never have to.
8 Clive's locker is up for grabs.
9 There shall be marrow for tea.
10 Turns out you know what the green memo with the backwards writing on it does now.
@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 6, 2026, 11:49 AM

I cannot believe how superb the Wildsea digital character creator is. Incredible. @mythworks.bsky.social @felixisaacs.bsky.social For a game that can be thematically dense to pick up, this makes onboarding players gloriously easy. Check it out: wildsea.charsmith.com

@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 5, 2026, 7:26 PM

Or do them text, or don't do them. Just do a post with your vague idea you'd have done if you had time. You could always illustrate them later in the year or NEVER and that's super cool too

@beyondcataclysm.co.ukOct 5, 2026, 7:25 PM

Do them delayed, and release them over november and october too. We will enjoy them just as much, if not more when we aren't saturated.

I'm a bit behind, but it's all good. Here's my WIP for marrow which should have been today but life. The trick with #MORKTOBER is its all carrot, no stick.

ORGTOBER DAY THREE - The Glyph Of Doom!
You can use this typewriter with zero issues...
...until you hit the Glyph of Doom, and then a dark, unworldly unset occurs, and your coffee curdles and all the horrors you fear come to life.
