To Our Unnatural Selection Backers — Thank You (And We Have Something New)
If you backed Unnatural Selection: The Untamed and the Underworld, you were there at the very beginning of Dungeon Damsel Publishing.
That book was our first leap into creating content for the Shadowdark RPG, and because of your support it became something far bigger than we imagined. Unnatural Selection helped establish Dungeon Damsel as a prominent 3rd party publisher for the Shadowdark RPG.
We’ve just launched Druskara, a massive campaign world for Shadowdark RPG.
Druskara funded in just 10 minutes, and the campaign has already surged past $146,000, unlocking a growing pile of stretch goal rewards and bonus content for backers.
Our next stretch goal will unlock an entirely new zine exploring a previously unseen realm of Druskara.
Inside the core set you’ll find:
• A fully realized campaign setting designed for long-term play • New classes, ancestries, spells, monsters, and factions • Dangerous regions filled with adventure hooks and mysteries • Ruins, tombs, and temples ready to drop directly into your games • Tools to run campaigns in a world that evolves as players explore it
In many ways, Druskara is the natural evolution of what we started with Unnatural Selection. It has the same deadly spirit, the same strange and dangerous ideas, just expanded into an entire campaign world.
If you enjoyed what we created before, we would love to have you join us for the next chapter.
We have an exciting thing to share with you! What is that thing? A sneak peak to our next book!

Now that Unnatural Selection is out in the wild (thanks again for all the support—you helped bring our first book to life!), we wanted to take a moment to highlight another awesome third-party creator in the Shadowdark scene.
Our friend William Harvat of Crawl Club Publishing is back with Righteous Vow Volume 3: The Mountain Dragon’s Brood—a massive 140+ page “zine” that’s basically a full campaign in disguise. It’s packed with:
A brand new original adventure
Unique monsters, magic items, and lore
A full hexcrawl and hand-drawn maps
And yes—all human-made art (because we care about that too)
Set in the dangerous lands of The Two Kingdoms, it’s a ready-to-run campaign filled with adventure hooks, exploration, and enough content to keep your party busy for ages.
Just a reminder that Dungeon Damsel is giving away FREE Shadowdark-inspired 7-Piece dice set—and yes, they’re as cool as they sound.
All you have to do is sign up at the link below to be automatically entered into the drawing. That’s it. No hoops, no riddles. Just free dice. We have already picked and shipped our first two winners, and there will be another chosen this week!
To celebrate the upcoming launch of Dungeon Damsel’s next book, Druskara, we’re hosting a series of giveaways—and you could win a 7-piece set of Unnatural Selection dice, designed to capture the font and feel of the Shadowdark RPG!
Extra d20 to showcase the skull. The Free dice set will be the standard 7-piece TTRPG dice set.
These dice feature a skull marking the 1 on the d6 and d20, and skull icons on the 1-facing edges of the d4. The more folks who join the list, the more dice we'll give away—and that means more chances for you to win! Yay! So share with friends, family, DMs, orcs, dragons and your dice goblin friends!
No purchase necessary. Open to [U.S. residents / worldwide] 18+. Void where prohibited. Winners will be selected at random and notified via email.
If you haven't signed up to be notified when the giveaways begin and when Druskara launches, please do so by clickingHERE. Or click on the image below!
Thanks for stopping by, and I'm looking forward to giving back to this communi-titty!
