Table 2 – GM Cody"Bad Night at Camp Cordwood" (Call of Cthulhu)Summer, 1983. A handful of counselors arrive early to reopen Camp Cordwood—but something is already waiting for them in the woods...

Table 3 – GM Austin"Gravrövare" (MÖRK BORG)Welcome to the Mourning Widow: a rotting alehouse where doom drinks deep. Find the collector. Claim his prize. Or be claimed yourself.

Food and drink available all night from Nightjar’s bar and kitchen.Reserve your seat. Brave the unknown. Questward Bound.

A shipwreck, a stolen artifact, and a town hiding dreadful secrets. Sent to investigate the fate of The Deepwanderer, your party embarks to Saltmarsh Haven—a secluded fishing village where the people are wary, the waters are restless, and something stirs beneath the waves. As a storm brews on land and sea, whispers of an ancient cult and a ritual long thought stopped resurface. Will you uncover the truth before it's too late, or will you hear The Call?

*Content Warning: Death, mutation, corpses, dark themes*

“You enter The Mourning Widow, a cesspool of an alehouse, stinking and full of treachery. You’ve heard whispers of a collector, deep in the Sarkash forest who pays handsomely for the corpses of men. You’re headed for the Graven- Tosk cemetery, not by yourself, of course. There must be someone among these miscreants who is reliable with a shovel. You are filth, you are gravrövare.”

Join GM Austin as he takes you through the vile, horrific, disgusting, and hilarious world of Mork Borg. 

Never played Mork Borg? That’s okay! Mork Borg is a fast, easy-to-learn, and deadly “Old School” TTRPG inspired by 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons and Heavy Metal music. 

Together, we’ll learn how to play in a matter of minutes, and you’ll be harvesting human flesh for a mysterious benefactor in no time!

*Content Warning: Death, exhumation, corpses, cannibalism*

Welcome to Camp Cordwood! Nestled into the beautiful woods of Lakesend, Minnesota.It's the summer of 1982 and as counselors you've arrived a few days early to help Mr. Cordwaithe get ready for the next round of campers. It doesn't pay the best, but it's better than working a summer job in the city. Weird rumors surround the camp. Sometimes people go missing. Some of the locals around Lakesend say it has something to do with the camp being built on old Native American lands, but most people brush that off as nonsense. Whatever the reason, there's an odd feeling you haven't been able to shake upon arriving. Something on the wind that chills you to your core.Maybe it's your nerves or maybe it's the thing lurking just beyond the firelight... Watching. Waiting. *CONTENT WARNING: Gore, body horror, dark themes*
