Starbeards (for Savage Worlds) is about DAMNIT (Dwarven Assault Mining and Neutralization Interception Teams) - the Dwarven commando squads protecting dwarven colonies and mining interests on the rough and ready galactic frontier.
The Pitch: Deep in the Galactic Frontier—where asteroid mines are rich, corporations are ruthless, and monsters crawl from the darkest caves—one elite unit handles the galaxy’s dirtiest jobs: the Dwarven Assault, Mining, Neutralization, and Interception Teams. Or as they’re better known...
DAMNIT.
In Starbeards, a setting for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, you and your crew of beer-loving, hammer-wielding space dwarves will tackle everything from haunted dig sites and pirate attacks to cult rituals and cosmic horrors. It’s a game of camaraderie, fast action, hard choices, and rolling with whatever chaos the galaxy throws your way… while keeping your beard intact.
Whether you're holding the line at a remote mining station, spelunking into an alien necropolis, or knocking back pints after a brutal shift, Starbeards delivers the kind of fast, flavorful sci-fi fun that only dwarves in space can provide.

FIRST Stretch Goal - UNLOCKED! $800 At $800, we had a new adventure. DRACO-12: THE FORGOTTEN CORE
The dwarven commandos of DAMNIT are dispatched to Draco-12, a frozen asteroid scarred by seismic upheavals and strange energy readings. Beneath its crust lies the forgotten vault of the Ice Fang Empire, a thousand-year-old dwarven diaspora thought lost to myth. Within:
Ancient archives of history and tech
An ancient android still trying to complete its mission
A half-mad cyber-dragon, 5SMAU-6, warped by centuries of radiation
Check out this map by Jon GIbbons for this adventure!
SECOND Stretch Goal - UNLOCKED $1700
XAR'S REVENGE
Dr. Wilson Xar, a rogue scientist obsessed with revenge, has allied with the vicious orc pirate clan, the Steelhowl Reavers. Their base: the derelict Research Station Y-11, hidden deep within a massive asteroid field. Xar's goal? To genetically engineer a terrifying new strain of the deadly insectoid aliens, the Zrykreen. They’ve been terrorizing dwarven mining operations for years, and now this crazy scientist wants to make them worse.
Your mission is a covert strike: infiltrate the station using a captured pirate vessel, eliminate or capture Dr. Xar, and destroy every sample of his vile super-bugs before the Reavers can deploy them.
THIRD Stretch Goal - LOCKED $2600 COLD SILENCE ON DMS-159 "On the distant asteroid colony of DMS-159, the Frostbeard Clan's terraforming operation has made a remarkable discovery. With Space Pirate activity in the region on the rise, DAMNIT has been called in to protect the site... But when the colony goes silent, they may be forced to make a grim choice. A choice that may have consequences across the entire galaxy..."
