We are doing front flips and back flips over here because today we received... DUN DUN DUN... The first test print of Unnatural Selection! (There will be at least one more as we make corrections. Like the off-centeredness of the cover, for instance.)
It is even more beautiful and REAL than we could have imagined. Check out these photos, and ignore the wet stains from our tears of joy! (We have yet to receive our test copy of the SPECIAL EDITION, but that should be coming as soon as we make our first round of corrections and get it in our hands.)
Oooooh, ahhhh, pages, art, tables, text...
One of Mark Lyon's epic pieces that graces the pages of our supplement.
Not only that, but we also received samples of our slick stickers! You can see how reflective they are, below:
You can see how HUGE and reflective the Vaelthar sticker is! WOW!
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!
Happy Free RPG Day! To celebrate, the Dungeon Damsel team is sharing a special early look at the Sword Sage, a brand-new Shadowdark-compatible class from our upcoming book, Druskara.
Curious about Druskara? Click here to learn more and sign up for launch updates—you won’t want to miss it!
Sword Sages are skilled warriors who combine sword fighting with simple, focused magic. They rely on discipline, precision, and training to strike with both steel and spell. Click the download button below to start playing the Sword Sage today!
Keep in mind, this class is still a work in progress—and that’s where you come in! Playtest it as much as you’d like, and don’t hesitate to share your feedback.
Adventurers, this is your final warning: only 250 copies of Unnatural Selection: The Untamed and the Underworld remain from our first print run. Once these are gone… Unnatural Selection will never be the same again.
Future editions will be reformatted and re-imagined to match the red, black, and white edge of our upcoming set of tomes:
Druskara — a twisted, multiple-book, campaign setting where the world lives, breathes, and bends to your players’ choices. Shape the fate of nations, forge uneasy alliances, or join the very forces you were meant to destroy. Every quest, every journey, every betrayal changes the realm.
Once Unnatural Selection sells out, it disappears into the shadows until Druskara rises. This is your last chance to snag the original edition—before it's reforged.
