Since we just smashed through the $135K stretch goal (thank you!!), we wanted to start a discussion here instead of sending another update and flooding everyone’s inbox.
For this stretch goal, the community will get to vote on a new Class and Ancestry to be added to Druskara. We have some really cool ideas ourselves, but we want to hear what you have been wanting to see at the table.
Classes:
What do you feel is missing from the classes already released in Unnatural Selection, Shadowdark, or other 3rd-party supplements?
Is there a class fantasy you’ve always wanted to play but haven’t really seen done yet? Something that would make you excited to roll up a character and jump into a campaign?
Ancestries:
Same deal here... what ancestries do you feel are missing from Shadowdark right now?
While we’d prefer not to create a full animal-folk zoo, we do have an idea for how something like that could be implemented if it’s something people really want.
What ancestries would be fun for you to roleplay? What would bring something new to your group’s table?
Drop your ideas in the comments!
When we post our next update, we’ll gather the most interesting suggestions and turn them into a community poll so everyone can vote.
We also have a major stretch goal announcement coming up that’s absolutely killing us to keep under wraps… but you’ll just have to build a little anticipation.
(Also, we’re honestly not sure how many people hang out in the discussion tab… so if you’re here, hello!)
ChasmFriend pin reservations will be sent with your pledge rewards once you’ve backed the campaign (and completed the backer survey after that is sent out).
Introducing…Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium!
Hello backers, we did it!
Brandon will be hosting a livestream to celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection today (March 3, 2026) at 6:00PM MST (1:00AM UTC). We’re sure you can see the joyspren surrounding us as we share the news that our campaign is officially funded! Once again, we’re able to bring the magic of Brandon’s worlds to life because of YOU. As if getting four enchantingly illustrated storybooks wasn’t enough, Brandon’s newest secret project The Fires of December is an adventure we know you’ll love as much as we did. Remember that the gold foiling on each of the picture books and the printed edges for The Fires of December will only be available for purchase during the lifetime of this BackerKit project. You’ll want to act now to guarantee their spot on your Sandershelf!
Now is the perfect time to collect your ChasmFriend Blind Bag pins to be able to trade with other Worldhoppers and complete your herd. The price of these collectible cuties is only $10 during the project launch, but will increase after the campaign closes.
If you reserved a ChasmFriend pin pre-campaign, as long as you have backed the campaign and completed your backer survey once it is sent out, the pin will automatically be sent with your pledge rewards.
A story doesn’t live until it is imagined
To celebrate the launch of Hoid’s Storybook Collection, we want to invite our backers to join in weaving a non-canonical Hoidian tale. Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium is our new Stormlight-infused collaborative storytelling experience! Join the beloved Worldsinger’s ranks as you and other backers come together to tell a story of your own in the Collaborative Narrative. A writing prompt has been given on the Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium tab of this project. Every day until the close of this campaign, you will have a chance to add to the narrative. It’s up to you Worldsingers to determine whose response is the best, as the entry with the most likes will be added to this storybook of your own creation! We will accept one submission per day, based on votes. If the content of a submission does not comply with our terms and conditions, it will be rejected.
The symposium will also include a Worldsinger Gallery! Send your fan art inspired by the Collaborative Narrative you’re creating via the submission link found within the Symposium. As long as your art adheres to our terms and conditions, we will feature it in our Worldsinger Gallery. Artists are allowed up to two art submissions during the campaign. Select art submissions, as well as the completed narrative, will be included in a free digital release entitled Hoid’s Worldsinger Symposium: Anthology.
We’re so happy you’re here and we’re elated to share Hoid’s tales with you. Until our next update later this month, Worldsingers!
Right now, the book is sold out — but with so many new backers discovering Dungeon Damsel through Druskara, we’re considering bringing it back for another print run. Unnatural Selection is woven into the four books that make the Druskara Core Set. Despite this, you're still hungry for our original creation. Unnatural Selection birthed the roots from which Dungeon Damsel Publishing grew from.
What if we re-print? If we did, the book would be updated to the new format/design internals as Druskara, so that they can exist seamlessly alongside one another. See some of the campaign imagery to find out what that may look like. We would also open up a few new pledge tiers to accommodate the book.
Before we make that decision, we want to hear from you...
Would you like to see a reprint of Unnatural Selection: The Untamed and the Underworld? Vote in the poll below and let us know! Your feedback will help guide what we do next.
Thank you so much for your support so far and for answering our polls so quickly! We are now ready to reveal the first set of Stretch Goals/Achievements for the campaign:
1. Guided Adventure: Lord of the Flies A short guided adventure about a vampire overtaken by his Shadow Demon, on the brink of causing an environmental catastrophe. His erratic behavior attracts the attention of cunning hunters and other creatures of the night.
2. The Dark Legacy Artifacts: The Flesh Covenant We will also debut The Dark Legacy Artifacts, a new line of modules built around unique objects scattered across the Dark Legacy universe, each offering great power at a terrible cost. In The Flesh Covenant, players encounter an Eldritch device that bonds directly to the host’s body. A strong match grants powerful abilities at a manageable price. A poor one sends the transformation spiraling out of control. Think Guyver or Kamen Rider turning into Venom or Carnage, then collapsing into The Fly or The Incredible Melting Man!
3. New Module: (Re)Animated In (Re)Animated, players tap into forbidden power to twist the boundary between life and death. Animate objects, build unnatural constructs, and reawaken corpses into zombies, flesh-made horrors, and Frankenstein-like monstrosities. Whether they create them or fight them, the results are always sinister, unpredictable, and deeply unnatural.
I am SOOOO BEYOND EXCITED AND HONORED to be able to announce: THE MAIN GOAL HAS BEEN REACHED!!!! TAOHUA AND MACARON ARE OFFICIALLY HAPPENING!!!! 🍑🍒😭😭
Taohua & Macaron say THANK YOU
I am grateful beyond comprehension, truly I cannot convey properly have deep the gratitude I have is for everyone. I never imagined we'd reach the initial goal this fast. I was frankly terrified making the goal $5k and unlocking both Taohua and Macaron in one go, because I was worried that maybe it'd not be possible.
But not only was it possible, it happened in the first few hours of launch, and I genuinely can't believe it nor can I thank you all enough for this. Just, with my entire heart soul and being: thank you, truly and with all my love 🩷
I have added a 3 plushie bundle tier for the regular plush bundle and the bundle with the small ticket goodies included (the care packages)!! If you want to help us hopefully reach our next Fruit Friend goal stop, Muffin the fennec fox, feel free to change your pledge to the 3 plushie bundle/care package if you'll happen to want all three.
Please keep in mind Muffin will not be available as a plush choice unless we reach $8,000 in total funding, but I'm hoping with such a strong start that maybe it can be possible!! 🥹🩷🫐 Muffin's sample has been secured and is being finalized soon, so I'll be able to share updates on Muffin's prototype soon!
I have also brainstormed a 5th friend in case we reach Muffin and Tangerabbit a bit faster than I was anticipating! I've added the design early as a sneak peek for backers to see!
Thank you again, truly, I just cannot believe this at all, and I truly just thank you all for allowing Taohua and Macaron's sweet dream to come true 🩷 Today I have shaken, cried, sobbed, and yelled with joy. Truly a roller coaster of emotions today, and I am so grateful to you all. Thank you thank you thank you thank you always and forever!!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
As always, feel free to let me know if you have any questions here or my email ([email protected])!!
THANK YOU!! WE DID IT!! YAY TEAM!!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷 NEXT STOP: MUFFIN!
