Learn About The Shattered Empire and the World of Deathbringer by Professor DM
The Shattered Empire is a realm of eternal war, stitched together by the Bone Road, a crumbling highway connecting cities no one remembers building. Its gods are indifferent to prayer, its heroes are gritty and morally gray, and its magic is a dangerous mystery even to the wizards who wield it. There are no gallant princes or fair maidens here.
Every character starts as an unremarkable, desperate soul, because in this world, survival alone is an achievement. Wolves stalk the wilderness, the undead never break morale, and magic items are rare, cursed, and always priced in blood.
This is a world built for cinematic splatter, not tactical tidiness. Fight dirty, improvise wildly, and expect the mud to claim you eventually. Only the strong survive.
Deathbringer goes live on BackerKit on July 14th; make sure to sign up today and put $1 down for a custom set of Death Dice!

Learn About Ultimate Dungeon Terrain by Professor DM (Updated)
Ultimate Dungeon Terrain (UDT) is a compact, portable combat terrain system built around a single tile placed on a rotating Lazy Susan, letting every player see the action from their own seat. Instead of mapping exact positions, combatants are tracked by zone (melee, ranged, or hearing distance), giving you a tactile focal point for encounters without the cost or storage hassle of a full terrain collection.
And now, for the first time ever, you can purchase Official Ultimate Dungeon Terrain for use in your Deathbringer and Shadowdark games in the Deathbringer BackerKit Campaign! With over 16 different terrains to choose from, you'll have a UDT for every environment!
