BEstitchARY
A downloadable bestiary supplement
Strange creatures are roaming the land! You have seen plenty, but those things are something else entirely. The chimeric amalgams and abominable hybrids from origins unknown are wreaking havoc and terrorizing the area. No end in sight to their squalid reign.
BEstitchARY is a third-party bestiary zine slash supplement for MÖRK BORG, which lets you generate creatures by... stitching them together.
This 23 pages long A5 PDF zine contains:
- D20 reasons for strange creatures to appear
- 60 unique creature parts (fronts and backs) allowing for 900 permutations!
- Two simple ways to generate the creatures
- Some additional optional rules to spice things up
- An empty template to create creature parts of your own
All the creature parts include:
- An illustration that seamlessly fits other parts
- Part of the name
- MÖRK BORG compatible stats: HP, morale, weapons, and armor
- A unique special ability
- Size of the creature and the sounds it makes
- Some creatures carry loot or have valuable hunting trophies
- Price for a captured specimen
We all live in apocalyptic times now and it might take a while before we can meet in person again, print some weird creatures, and have some good o' hacking and slashing. Many of us have no other option than to play online and I wanted to address that as well, so I came up with The Stitcherer.
The Stitcherer is a one-page PDF file which lets you automatically generate the BEstitchARY creatures by using the Adobe Reader's javascript and layer capbilities. It's as simple as pressing a button, but don't trust my words...
Check the DEMO here!
!!! Compatibility !!!
The Stitcherer is only supported by the desktop version of Adobe Reader both on Mac and PC. However, you won't be able to run it on the Adobe Reader browser or mobile applications. I tried many mobile applications but none of them supported the capabilities needed for it to work.
If you are truly blessed to own a printer, this guide is for you!
Print it as a zine!
To print it as a zine that you can easily flip through and let it collect dust on your shelf, I recommend to use BEstitchARY (A5) BW.pdf file, open it through Adobe Reader, and set the print settings to the below:
- Page Sizing & Handling: Booklet
- Booklet subset: Both sides
- Binding: Left
The end result will be an A5 format zine with pages printed on both sides of the paper.
Print it as cards!
All the creature body parts within this zine are essentially cards one can print and use to generate some really unsettling abominations. If you have printed it as a zine however, you might notice that the cards don't really have any card backs - just the fronts on each side of the page. To print it as one-sided cards, I recommend to use BEstitchARY (A4) BW.pdf file, open ith through Adobe Reader, and set the print settings to the below:
- Page Sizing & Handling: Size
- Custom Scale: 100%
The end result will be a set of one-sided A4 pages, each containing up to 4 full creatures or 8 creature body part cards. Each card should have the dimensions of a regular TCG type card: 63 × 88 mm (2.5 by 3.5 inches). For protection you can then either laminate the cards or use regular TCG card sleeves.

Hi! Paypal only? Can u add payment via credit card?
Hey! That might be an itch setting which I don't have any control over.
You can still get it through DriveThruRPG - let me know if this works for you

It worked, and now it doesn't, I mean automagically on Adobe Reader on Macos..
It only works on the desktop version of Acrobat (PC & Mac). It won't work in a browser, mobile, tablet, etc - those version of the application do not support either scripts or layers which BEstitchARY uses. Let me know if you are still facing any issues and I'll see how can I help.
oops, i was opening the wrong file, not the Stitcherer
Help I'm an American and I want to buy this but the price is in euros and I can't do anything! Is there anywhere I could buy this with my money? (I can't use Pay Pal)
Hey, it's also available on DriveThruRPG where the price is set to USD https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/347861/BEstitchARY. Let me know if this works!
It worked, thank you! Now all I need is a printer.
This thing is amazing!! Endless fun...
Thanks a lot! Any favourites so far?
The Squil was the first result of clicking on The Sticherer and it is amazing! I grabbed pink and blue sleeves today for when my printed copy arrives from Staples.
I'm partial to the Squichnape. Absolutely terrifying. I love it!
If you mix the top of the mosquito and the bottom of the shark, you get a creature called a Mork and i just think that's nifty.
