Do I need Bloodtears core book?

No. Bloodtears Companion is a standalone game, but you will have a more complete experience if you play it together with Bloodtears core book, an agnostic setting where this open world is presented in depth. So, it is not essential, but it is highly recommended to have read Bloodtears full setting before playing with Bloodtears Companion.

Bloodtears Companion is not just a supplement for Mörk Borg enthusiasts, it's a treasure trove for any solo player. The original setting, detailed tools, and structured guidance make it accessible and enjoyable, even for those new to solo RPGs, or players using other systems as Cairn. With numerous examples and comprehensive instructions, Bloodtears Companion empowers you to craft your own narratives and survive the coming apocalypse solo.

Mörk Borg Books

Within the 140 pages of Bloodtears lies an expansive, open world where solo RPG players can embark on adventures, both short and long, or even weave their own campaigns. Illustrated with haunting depictions of terrible enemies, factions, secret cults and local allies, this tome invites you to explore its vast landscapes and delve into its myriad mysteries.

Delve into a world of darkness and despair with The Heretic Nun, a long role-playing adventure for the Mörk Borg system, specifically designed for Solo RPG. The Heretic Nun includes an alternate ending, a bonus adventure and four pre-generated characters, with their full-color portraits.  It includes all enemy, ally and item stats for Mörk Borg, but you can easily adapt it to other Solo RPG systems as Cairn.

In Revenge of the Rotten, you take on the role of The Sinner, a lone wanderer haunted by a gruesome discovery and drawn into a web of darkness, decay, and revenge. What begins as a search for answers soon spirals into a journey across cursed forests, crumbling cities, and desecrated ruins where ancient evils stir.

Flesh & Bones: Survivors & Solo Mörk Borg Adventures offers you a visceral, immersive experience unlike any other. Designed for solo play and the daring co-op adventurers, this book delivers 12 meticulously crafted pre-generated characters—each twisted, broken, and uniquely alive in the desolation of Bloodtears.

The content here looks interesting, but the layout is pretty rough. Is there any way this can be updated to include page numbers with a functional table of contents? 125 pages with no numbering is very hard to use.

Sure. It will be updated. When it is ready, I will announce it on the devlog. 

Amazing! Thank you for the quick response!

You can now download v.1.1, which includes page numbers with a functional table of contents. I hope you like it.
