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!
The Dungeon Damsel Team

Thank you all, and I look forward to our next update!

Greetings Unnatural Selectors!

An update has been made -- the latest Unnatural Selection PDF is now available for download through Backerkit. As long as your session hasn't expired (or you need to "recover your survey") then this link should take you directly to the download page:

https://unnaturalselection.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards

If you find you have having trouble, please let us know -- Backerkit is great and assisting with these sorts of problems as well. (And they will likely be faster than us, since they have people dedicated to resolving any issues you might have.)

This version (1.4) is also being printed as a proof copy, and if everything looks good, this will be the FINAL version of Unnatural Selection, which will allow us to begin the manufacturing process!

Exciting Times!

Ever since we've had the proof copies, running games at the table has been fun and convenient! We look forward to all of you being able to enjoy the same comfort and utility.

See you in the next update!
The Dungeon Damsel Team

Oh, and check out Bunni's Pin crowdfunding campaign that has already started with a bang! (In less than 24 hours, the Early Bird Specials will be gone, so if you'd like to support her, now's the time!)

And now for everyone to have a say in what is created... what mimics would you like to see?

Please comment anything you don't see in the poll below. These ideas will be used for Bunni's pins and our upcoming campaign book set to launch on Bakcerkit in the future.

Pretend you didn't just see the secret... SURPRISE!

Also, new PDF drop incoming this week! And a final test print has been ordered. We will be sending out an update referring to the closing of our pre-order store several times over the next couple of weeks. You know what that means right? That means we're gearing up to lock in addresses and order the books! YAY! That also means we will be getting our greedy goblin hands on those deadly dice and dice bags.

So if you need to make any changes to your address, now is the time! Orders will be locked in early April, and everything will be sent to the manufacturers to begin production. So praise Dominus! You little darklings will have your coveted books and goodies to hoard in due time. While you wait, light a torch and count your blessings amidst the darkness-- it is nearly your time for treasures and glory!

With much love,
Bunni & The Dungeon Damsel Team

Hi folks!

Guess what we have in our hands?

[ insert drum roll here ]

The ever majestic maroon masterpiece! The special edition Unnatural Selection test print has arrived! Check out this gorgeous work of art below.

Will you be at Gary con? Come say hi to us, and check out the books in person! Keep in mind they are only test prints and we are working diligently to finalize them. We have since made corrections to the cover and the guts of these bad boys. We won't rest until they are PERFECT. 

Now say ooo and ahhh as you watch these tomes in motion! 

There will also be a new release of the PDF coming soon with minor changes, more typographical fixes, and nerfs to Fiend talents to help maintain balance and versatility. Sorry for the delay in updates, but we hope that this more than made up for the wait!

The Dungeon Damsel website has also been getting re-vamped.
New location for the Quickstart here.

That's it for now! Keep an eye out for an update from Bunni and her new adventures in crowdfunding!

Blessed are the Darklings, they say
With torches aglow, lighting the way
In the Shadowdark deep
The Felwraak they creep
I wonder if they'll survive the fray

Love and crits,
The Dungeon Damsel Team

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

Special thanks to Kelsey Dionne for all of her support, the creation of Shadowdark in the first place, and Unnatural Selection's inclusion on Shadowdarklings.net!

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. 

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...

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!

Bunni & Xane Daniel
The Dungeon Damsel Team
