Apocrypha is a Mörk Bork supplement by Christian Eichhorn (christian.eichhorn.dmg@gmail.com; @squirrelgolem), with editing by John Parker.
Monstrous Classes. Play as a disgusting warpig, wickhead zündler, half-troll, or goblin wildmage. It is known that monsters are inherently 71% better than humans. Time to let loose and have fun.
More fun with creating, killing, and reviving characters. When a character dies, you can roll on the Apocrypha to change the surviving characters (or NPCs). When a character dies and comes back from the dead, you can roll on a table that (heavily) punishes them for the audacity. And finally, when you create a new character, you can roll a star sign for a few life-altering (or life-threatening) traits.
Anniversary Additions. The new anniversary edition includes a new Omen Side Effects table to roll on, seven new Powers you must read invocations for out loud, a pet shop, and a list of banned books.
Miscellaneous. Encounter 100 strange NPC, get stuck neck deep in some dungeons, buy questionable items, and infect the characters for more fun! (:

What about the Demonflesh Quiver? Does it work with crossbows, or just bows?
Because it produces the arrow, I'd definitely allow for it to produce bolts too! :)
Thank you!
Here's another query: the trained dog gains a d4 to his 'attack roll'. Is this the damage roll (i.e. d3 + d4), or the Strength test to see if the dog successfully 'hits' the target (i.e. d20 + d4)?
The latter, it increases the chance to hit (i.e. d20 + d4) :)
Thanks! That was what I suspected.
I'm a huge fan of all your work, Christian, with Apocrypha being something I use for almost every adventure I run with my friends! Got a question for you though, regarding the Half-Troll. How exactly are they created? The wording is a little vague and my friend and I are curious...
Fun fact: (I think) Johan Nohr came up with that. For fun, I tagged the Mörk Borg Twitter account with the picture of the half-troll and asked how they are made. I believe "when a half-dead troll with a belly full of half-dead humans gets a chance to heal" was pretty much the verbatim answer :D So in my mind, when a troll swallows a human alive and only has a few HP left, they fuse to become a half-troll.
Oh yeah, I found the Tweet:

"Half-trolls are made when a half-dead troll with a belly full of half-dead human get a chance to heal. It’s not pretty."
Interesting!
Another way to interpret this is that the half-dead troll then poops out the half-dead human, who is now half-troll, making it even more gross...
Perfection! :D
I would highly recommend any and all of Christian Eichhorn's Mörk Borg supplements - they all have fantastic layout and art, creative content that adds new systems and creative twists on existing ones, and capture the brutal and beautiful feel of the core book.
Apocrypha is a must-have if you're looking to add kinds of new systems and encounters to your session, offering perhaps the most wide variety of system supplements of Christian's collection. Apocrypha includes a multitude of new skills and statuses, revival mechanics, and fresh encounters like "The Body Shop" for character augmentations, the "Forbidden Vault" for all manner of evil items, and "The Hunter's Guild" for "Hirelings" (followers) and a bounty exploration system. You'll also find new classes, a variety of monsters, and d86 'Otherworldly Summons' and two small dungeon crawls for some additional fun.
Enjoy Apocrypha? Check out Purgatory for even more unique gamplay supplements/additions. Want something to complement Apocrypha? Check out Galgenbeck Sacrifice or Bergen Chrypt for a more campaign-focused adventure.
Hey Quen! Thanks for all your posts, very much appreciated. Some positive reinforcement goes a long way to keep me creating :D
Hah sorry to hit every most of your pages at once! I have almost all your Mōrk Borg stuff in print and what you create is incredible -- I was overdue to leave a positive comment them.
Can't wait for the upcoming Vaults of Torment KS!
