A picture of a box open with hundreds of freshly printed Hope Dies Last promo postcards inside. One promo card lies face up, displaying the triptych along with the text "Hope Dies Last, defiant heroism in the face of overwhelming odds. Infinite Citadel. Daggerheart Compatible." There is also a promo tarot card for The Beckoning Dream, and a new edition of Mörk Sol Frame:ZERO, printed with perfect binding.

This Time, Nobody Dies Carousel
In THIS TIME NOBODY DIES, desperate mercenaries run missions for the megacorporations while trying to ride the line between operating within the system, and breaking it.
Unique Campaign Mechanics replace Gold, Hope, and Fear with FAME and CRED. Play the megacity's games to survive, but win too much and you'll become a part of the system. Everything has a cost.
A cyber-lich looms ominously behind three freelancers: an e-girl with a charmed-out sword stremaing to her fans; a mowhawk street brawler with a bad ass handcannon; and a disillusioned merc wearing full tactical gear. Gamefound RPG Party.

The cover artwork for This Time, Nobody Dies, a Daggerheart-compatible campaign frame. Cyberpunk heroes, or "freelancers", stand in the ruined streets of a dystopic megacity as a massive cyber lich looms in the background.

Several spreads from Temperamental Upgrades lay open near the zine cover, which depicts a screaming pvnk surrounded by green lightning. A digital ghost looms over all of it. "Order now at infinite-citadel.com. Temperamental Upgrades VOL 1, compatible with CY_BORG."

A hopeful wisher approaches the six torches of a ritual ground. An eldritch light source burns above, casting rays of light and shadow down upon this heresy. "Before the Bog God"

A strange figure stands in front of a starry sky, gun at the ready. "Who?... Help us decide"

Last month on Patreon. A QRC to the Infinite Citadel Patreon in front of a blue-printed castle tower. Anti-ordinary games.

Support person:
Hello Conlin, This is Chi from Shopify Support. Thank you for contacting us today I'm going to take a moment to review the messages you sent before our chat opened so that I can catch up on the situation and better support you today!

A digital daemon screams through cyberspace in the background. Several open spreads of Temperamental Upgrades are in the foreground, along with the zine's cover. Compatible with CY_BORG, Temperamental Upgrades VOL 1 by Infinite Citadel. Order now at infinite-citadel.com

Five men in fashionable semi-matching pink outfits stand to the right. One holds a microphone and shout-sings "PLAY GAMES WITH US!", which is on the image in bubble-y blue-and-pink font. A cloud beneath says the same in Korean. A host stands agape to the left while three women look down from above, trying to hide in the shadows of the sound stage.

Mockups of the two covers of "Before the Bog God". On the left is a darker cover with green linework. The central image depicts a wisher mid-ritual, while the smirking leviathan looks down from the window frame above. On the right is the lighter cover with red linework. The central image is of the smirking leviathan - a massive eldritch worm with many eyes and tendrils of shadow - looming over a ritual site with six torches. The silhouette of a person approaches the ritual site while a cunning auspex looks down from the window frame above.

The finished artwork by Jennifer O'Toole (Cellsdividing). A strange figure of infinite power stands in the center, eight arms outstretched. Crows and wolves comprise its amorphous, shadowy body as it offers us different implements: a sword; the Sun card; a wand; the Hermit card; a chalice; the Moon card, burning; the Ace of Pentacles; and an outstretched hand, beckoning you inward towards a surreal landscape of infinite possibilities. Mountains encase the skyline as a red dragon and space station float above. The crescent moon drips blood while a meteor flies across the sky. The figure splits a scene in the foreground. On the left side, a bridge, guarded by the Guardian Troll who sits in its shadow, crosses over to The Citadel atop a floating landmass. On the other side a figure walks towards The Tower, their outline shifting with chromatic distortions that convey a sense of power akin to the central figure's, but not yet fully developed. Near the cataclysmic tower is a pond and a tree. Disembodied eyes peer out from the figure above tendrils of flame.

1 - I once dreamt I was a man. It was as shocking as it was liberating, and one of the rare times I remembered my dream upon waking. I had still used the same name and still felt the same as I was. The only reason I knew I’d been a man was seeing my reflection in a mirror: short hair; bright gold buttons sewn on a dashing coat; and then, with vision prompting my other senses to be curious, the slight pinch of suspenders over each shoulder.
I did not fixate on it in my waking hours, although I did revisit that dream on occasion. It was always a pleasant subversion of myself. Lucidity never spoiled the illusion, and each time I was able to enjoy those differences as if they were my every-day.
I share this so that you might consider what fantasies of expression and being you would entertain if given the chance. This is not an invitation to impersonate or lampoon, but to embrace. To learn. To feel. Games and stories end, but the feelings & lessons they impart are forever.

A red dragon flying through a lavendar sky filled with stars. A figure holds the Hermit card above a smoking cup, although you can't see most of them.

Progress bar chart for Mörk Sol development. Weapon Manifest, Other Vehicles, Skip Jobs, Origins, Services, Chemical Fixes, Null's Influence, Tailing Layby, and Sol Sector have all had progress in their text. A new section has been added called "Survival", which is 2/3 done in text. One section - Hazards - is now called Environmental Dangers and has 1/3 progrss marked. There has also been progress in Equipment and On Foot Dangers for Art & Layout.

Marketing collage of Temperamental Upgrades content. The zine cover is arranged next to mockups of open spreads for both the Deprecated Daemon Class and our Vehicular combat rules. Temperamental Upgrades Vol 1 is available now at infinite-citadel.com

A chart showing the current state of Mörk Sol development. Cells in light green represent finished work, while orange represents newly finished work (since the last KS update). Gray represents work still to be done.

A hopeful wisher arrives at the ritual site, torch held aloft to illuminate the ritual torches and the smirking leviathan old god looming above. "Before the Bog God" is written in blackletter font. The reds and greens of the usual image are paint-brushed into grayscale along a top-right to bottom-left diagonal.

A sample of one of the spreads in Temperamental Upgrades - The Blackballed Purist. A figure stands alone among a broken, burning, disgusting garbage heap of an at-home chemical lab, fingers glowing with [chemicals?|blood?]. The silhouette is pure black except for the shine of their round glasses. Motes of ash drift in front of them, a larger flake looking like a third eye. Rules text is cutoff as the image is zoomed in on just the figure.

Information about the Infinite Citadel Patreon is written in a combination of sci-fi style plaintext and logos/wordmarks. At the bottom a slightly cybernetic, saint-like woman appears, her hand held in a prayerful gesture with a metallic halo over her head. A distant planet and the vast expanse of space are in the background. "Mörk Sol has arrived on the Infinite Citadel Patreon. Weekly Content, BTSs + WIPs, Early Releases.

LET'S LOOK TAKE A LOOK BACK AT WHAT WE DID

An image of a skav with no helmet, square glasses, heavily bearded, and with a radio headset. "Thank you, Spaceman. Welcome to the Span! 700+ Skavs Strong. Funded in under 1-hr. We're hitting the BUNK. See you in the next solar rotation."

Amazing artists joining us to work on Mörk Sol

Mockups of all the products available in the Mörk Sol Kickstarter, arranged on a sci-fi acid-design background. "Rules Lite / Vibe Heavy" in industrial font at the top of the image. "Explore the span @ morksol.com" is on the bottom in all-caps font. The core rulebook stands to the left of an array of products: three embroidered patches in reds and yellows; four zines; two tear-away notepads for character and skip sheets; a foldable cardboard battle map for skip combat; and the core rulebook with the deluxe cover treatment.

Mockup of the Mörk Sol GM screen featuring Andrew Beauman artwork of a Nullstar along with the iconic Nullmark Helmet Crack in white. Dark orbs of void orbit a star trapped between life and death, venting radiation and dark matter into the cosmos.

"Rules Lite / Vibe Heavy" in industrial font on one side, and "Inspired by: The Expanse + Dead Space" in monospace font on the other. "Explore the span @ morksol.com" is on the bottom in all-caps font. The core rulebook stands to the left of an array of products: three embroidered patches in reds and yellows; four zines; two tear-away notepads for character and skip sheets; a foldable cardboard battle map for skip combat; and the core rulebook with the deluxe cover treatment.

A figure clad in heavy armor, eyes glowing beneath a military helm, holds a scourge-warped figure aloft. Its enemy is skewered by a chainsaw-like blade, with the other hand holding a massive gun. Blood soaks the hall of a spaceship, splashing up the side where text reads "CoreSec marine. Advanced synthware directly integrated to combat ready spacesuits. Armed to the teeth. Deployed to exterminate. HP 15 | Morale 9 | Empowered Armor -d8. Two attacks per turn using… Chainblade d8, test Brawn or Stuck; Bolt Carbine 2d6; Shell-Crack Grenade d6 damage and degrade target’s armor by 1 tier. Stuck: Target takes d4 damage at the start of your turn, then tests Brawn to get unstuck. Martial Expertise: Defense tests against them are DR14. Miltec Life Support: Armor doesn’t degrade from crits. Once per combat, stim drugs provide +2HP per round for d4 rounds.

A mockup of the Skip Combat Battle Map, a foldable board game style cardboard mat. A full radar display for tracking the positions of objects relative to the party's Skip is printed alongside a cluster of rule quick references. "Heavy Duty" in distressed, acid-green text. A scorched nebula burns in the background behind the scanlines of your Skip's HUD.

A bundle of physical goods from the Mörk Sol Kickstarter. The core Mörk Sol rulebook open to a spread of art & rules text. Three expansion zines: a mission module; a space station setting for economic downtime; and solo/duet rules.

A screenshot of the Mörk Sol Kickstarter back-end showing the project being fully funded at $6,676 with 76 backers.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 31 - Pumpkin. Learn more at morksol.com. A figure shrouded in shadows and jet-black armor slides through a field of glowing orbs. A Jack o’ Lantern occupies the space where its head should be, and a wicked scythe is held overhead. Eldritch flames spell out “The Headless Raider” in nigh unreadable text. Lore: A ghost story from the edges of the brink. A lone rider, suit destroyed, aboard the fragments of a skip. It wields a blad of black flames, seeking a face to reflect its pain. HP give it a new head | Morale - | No Armor. Null-Fire Blade d12. Double damage against skips. If it slays a humanoid, it takes their head and retreats, satisfied for now.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 30 - Star. Learn more at morksol.com. Plasma whirls around masses of void, each orbiting the other and sending strands of Hawking radiation out into space. Sun Gorger: Another attempt at finding salvation. The Dyson sphere space station was marketed as a solution to the Authority’s ever expanding need for energy. When the star beneath it burst into radioactive flames, it was thought lost. (like all our other hopes). Happenstance discovered the truth. An off-target skip shunted a reckless crew past the shell of plasma to find the sphere still intact and trapped in the interior of a quasi-star. With void beneath and conflagration above, what remains in within the halls of The Null Star? HGHTBL//JSTR: THE ONLY WISHING YOU’RE DOING ON THIS STAR IS TO GTFO HERE, HAHA! OH, *2* DAYS AWAY, BTW!

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 29 - Hole. Learn more at morksol.com. A large spaceship drifts ever closer towards the accretion disk of a black hole. BLACK HOLE IMMINENT: None know what happens on the other side of an event horizon. Will you be the first to find out? HGHTBL//JSTR: DOUBT IT. When your skip crosses the event horizon, roll as many d4s, d6s, d8s, d10s, and d12s as you want. You have 30 seconds of real time to count up the total and tell it to your GM. If the math is wrong, you failed to count them all, or the total is less than 100, you die. (The “3” in “30 seconds” is exaggerated.)

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 28 - Bloat. Learn more at morksol.com A disgusting, bloated body with sharp teeth in a vile maw shlorps towards the viewer, set on consuming all. Scourge-warped Glutton. Realspace leftovers held together by malice and hunger. HP 18 | Morale - | No Armor. Slam d4. Consume (once per hour) d12 to 3m^2 of material, organic or otherwise. Heals same amount.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 27 - Ice. Learn more at morksol.com. A massive cargo skip hauls a chunk of ice out of an asteroid field. ICE… is a lucrative business in the Span. Everyone needs water, and harvesting the ice from asteroids presents a quicker alternative than potable planet sources. But it comes with it’s own risks [d8]: 1-3: Safe extraction. 4: Pressurized gas pocket. Test Any DR14 or take 1d8 damage. Untethered extractors are jettisoned into space. 5: Heavy metal inclusion breaks your tools. Roll cargo die and decrease on fumble. 6: It’s a trap! Test Agility DR14 against ball bearing mines; 2d4 damage on failure. Pirate skips move in to loot the remains in d3 rounds. 7: H2NOT. Be it silicon dioxide or something else, this is the wrong type of ice. At least you only wasted time. 8: Not alone. Extractors attacked by alien life. After rolling for the hazard, add Ice to your cargo. It has the [Water] tag. Also roll your cargo die. If it crits, you can choose to add an additional [Water] tag to that cargo, or increase your cargo die; describe what else you found while mining the asteroid. User HGHTBLE//JSTR says “Did you drink your water today??? I hear Geist likes big water… or was it bog water?

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 26 - Torch. Learn more at morksol.com. The Torch of the Warped Way, a twisted and horrifying spaceship floats through space towards a target vessel. The Harbingers aboard walk the deck with their space suits on, but otherwise unprotected. A Harbinger vessel fitted for harpooning, boarding, and subsequently converting those aboard. Stubborn converts are tied into the rigging, drug along as the ship skips 6 times. Survivors are part of the ship|crew. Those who don’t were never meant to fly. One hangs from the harpoon tethers. Unknown User, now resolved to HGHTBL//JSTR warns “DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO BOARD”. The 6, both in the lore text and the “26”, are emphasized.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 25 - Hermit. Learn more at morksol.com. The silhouette of a scientist, glasses shining and lit by magenta, offers you a strand of modified DNA on the tips of her feminine fingers. “It would take 7 DAYS to remake you…” Dr. Arnas. Former EAC xenobiology researcher turned obsessive transhumanist. Her experiments have become increasingly aggressive, similarly expanding her need for samples. Skavs that can acquire them are well compensated, but the smart ones are careful to leave before they agree to a more lasting partnership. HGHTBL//JSTR: GET PAID AND LEAVE!

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 24 - Stump. Learn more at morksol.com. A massive space station that has been fully scourge-warped. Pieces of machinery have warped into something more organic: the hull a shell; the loading dock an eye; power cables are veins. Lore text overlays the image. “The consequences of hubris. Those who trade in Scourge Artifacts are relegated to dark corners and orbital trade for a reason. The Austere Flare was a staging ground for larger ships moving out towards the Brink. Decades of investment ~~and 8 million lives~~ were catastrophically transformed when a reckless trade arrived at its inevitable end.” The “8” is formatted more boldly to distinguish it from the text.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 23 - Flower. Learn more at morksol.com A monstrous creature of vines and lumiscent flower buds crawls over the ruin of a destroyed, overgrown structure. Megaflora. Numerous planets are home to plant-life that exhibits convergent evolution with humanity’s expectations for animals. These creatures have not been extensively catalogued, but they are all profoundly omnivorous. HP 20 | Morale 9 (”9” is in an exaggerated, red font) | No Armor. Hunter Vine d8 and grabbed; Brawn DR12 to escape. Consuming Petals 2d6 against a grabbed target.

A screenshot of the Mörk Sol Kickstarter page. "A faster-than-light Mörk Borg-inspired RPG set in a horrific galaxy consumed by entropic decay." 882 followers... so far.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 22 - Thief. Learn more at morksol.com A clandestine individual lurks in the background, their cloak a field of stars. A high tech lockpick tool is in the foreground surrounded by text. Skulker’s Omni-Key. A class of tech built for breaking. The makes & models are myriad, but all go by the same name regardless of quality. Kitbashed: -2DR to tests made to break locks or bypass non-biometric security. Price: d8 ▣ Good-as-New: -4DR | d10 ▣ (the “10” is in a different color - hidden meaning?) Custom Manufactured: Can also work against biometric locks. | d12 ▣.

Mörk Sol - Mörktober - by Infinite Citadel. Day 21 - Beak. Learn more at morksol.com A schematic of a Mörk Sol skip is rendered with diagnostic information branching out of it. BRIDGE MODULE: Heron 0x20082025. PERFORMANCE: Nominal. NEXT DIAGNOSTIC: T-264 Hours. REACTOR LOAD: 11%. SCALABLE SOLUTIONS: ■■■□. SKINTERFACE SYNC ■■□■ → Suit Malfunction User: Wuz. The sync loading bar is about 75% full. The O2 tracker is about 85% full. The Fuel tracker is about 50% full.

Heron-Class Bridge Module. Spacious construction leaves room for both crew and further ship enhancements. High fidelity visuals have an integrated thread detection system. And of course the latest safety & systems algorithms, capable of load balancing compute across dozens of modules while optimizing power draw. Although you’ll need a hefty reactor to support this kind of tech in the first place. ADDED POSITION: Bridge. REQUIRED MP / PROVIDED MP: 1/3. ADDED HULL POINTS: 4. MODULE GRADE : III → Bridge Pool ▽△▽. SPECIAL - THREAT DETECTION: On the first round of combat, Bridge Pool gains +1d4.
