Shadowdark Content Appreciation
9 months ago – Thu, Feb 15, 2024 at 04:40:35 PM

Hi everyone!

Today I'd like to share my love and appreciation for the Shadowdark community by sharing great third-party Shadowdark creations. We've had such wild success with our campaign, that I'd love to spread the word about other indie developers and help them be seen by the community, so that Shadowdark as a whole can continue to thrive.

Let's take a look at William Burakami-Brundage's campaign setting RATS OF UL-GOL. Founder of Menagerie Press, William has created several successful Shadowdark Kickstarter campaigns, full of great creativity, epic content, challenges and depth.

About William


He's super excited about Shadowdark and just finished his 50th session in his Greyhawk West Marches campaign. He loves how simple it is to make new things for Shadowdark - it’s a joy for him as a designer, GM, and player. He's also helping to organize Shadowdark, Basic D&D, AD&D, and other RPGs in the Portland, Oregon metro area and welcome new players to come by and play. William is dedicated to expanding the Shadowdark universe, and generating quality, deadly, fun and intriguing stories and settings for us fans to explore. He is one of many who strives to keep the darkness alive!

About The Book:

Will and his friend Bill were keen on writing adventures that a GM could plug and play, while also letting a broader story unfold. There are a total of eight adventures within the pages of this epic tome, so if you're a GM that requires a quick story for a session--or 10, they've got you covered!

This supplement has adventures that are setting neutral, and feature rat folk, worshipers of Ul-Gol, their daemonic god. The rats are zealots and love to concoct poisons, brews, pastes, and elixirs for devious ends. The book will consist of several Shadowdark-compatible role-playing adventures for characters level 1-5. Each of the adventures comes complete with maps for both the GM and the player to view. Each adventure is set up to take anywhere from one to three sessions to complete. The speed of which is dependent on the players and the style of GMing.

You can read up on each adventure in the KICKSTARTER. Now enough of reading, let's check out some of the art! Menagerie Press has assured me that the art is hand crafted with not AI use or influence, which makes me even more stoked to be supporting them as an indie developer.




I was also blessed with being the first to share this never before seen piece of art for the back cover!


And a super awesome addition to the carousing and gaming in the Shadowdark landscape, I'm excited to be the first to also introduce Rogue's Dice! Reminiscent of Liar's Dice, Rogue's Dice is a quick game that players can enjoy at nearly any time, and sure to win the favor of the party as a fun and clever tavern past time. Rogue Dice will be present in the Rats of Ul-Gol book.


That's all for now... I'm off to enjoy the festivities of my Birthday! Bunni has leveled up, and is ready to delve into the darkest of dungeons in hopes of finding birthday cheer, present, plunder and cake. 

Stay tuned for more awesome content,
The Dungeon Damsel Team

PHYSICAL things in our hands! OH MY!
10 months ago – Wed, Feb 07, 2024 at 02:27:31 PM

Greetings Unnatural Selectors!

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.)











Not only that, but we also received samples of our slick stickers! You can see how reflective they are, below:





Another update (about Garycon) coming soon!

Thank you and stay tuned!

*IMPORTANT* Billing & Convention Announcements
11 months ago – Fri, Jan 05, 2024 at 03:34:28 PM

Hi everyone!

This update is to help ensure everyone gets their pledged items. We have experienced a minimal issue with some backers and pre-orderers in relation to their pledges coming up as fraudulent. In hopes to alleviate further problems, is the main information required to avoid missing out on the Unnatural Selection product. 


Charges to your bank have been under Xane Daniel LLC

What?: Dungeon Damsel Creations is associated with Xane Daniel LLC.
Why?: Xane Daniel is partnered with Bunni Daniel, and one of the founders of Dungeon Damsel Creations.
What's he do?: If you're curious about his other practice click HERE.
The Future: We have worked with Backerkit, and moving forward, we are told that charges will appear as "Backerkit Unnatura" to avoid confusion. So hopefully, the "Xane Daniel LLC" charge only applies to today and the past (we hope)...

And for reference, here are the nerds whose dreams you are supporting! Every day, we wake up and reflect on how amazing our supporters have been, and how grateful we are for each and every one of you. We love you all unconditionally. Without you, Unnatural Selection would have remained a fantasy.



Now that we got that icky stuff out of the way, I'd like to announce...

WE ARE GOING TO GARY CON!

Well, if all the stars align... we will likely NOT have the product there, however please come and see us. We would love to meet you and create wonderful friendships and connections that could last a lifetime. Please lets us know if you will be there!

Production Update:

We have began ordering samples of most of the goodies we are offering. That means we'll have another update  showcasing the stickers, the bags, pin and the books themselves! The dice will need to come at a later date as they are a much more involved process. We will also be releasing another update tomorrow or Sunday, as we have implemented spelling and grammatical fixes to the current PDF, and are ready to release the latest version. YAY!

Thank you for sticking with us! You're all epic and dedicated dungeon delvers, and we're blessed to have your torchlight guiding our path.

Happy New Year!
