Deathbringer is Coming!
Crowned EN World’s Most Anticipated TTRPG of 2026, Deathbringer storms onto BackerKit this July!
Forged in blood by Professor DM and Roll For Combat, with contributions from Brandon Gillam, this is not another safe fantasy game. This is steel. Fire. Consequence.
Combat is fast. Victories are earned. Death is real.
Risk everything. Win glory. Or be forgotten.
The old games have grown soft. It’s time to sharpen the blade and remind those of the price of failure... and bloody glory!
Fully Compatible with Shadowdark or Use With Any OSR System!
Deathbringer is built to integrate seamlessly with Shadowdark, making it effortless to drop in monsters, loot, subclasses, adventures, and more.
Have a favorite OSR system? No problem! Deathbringer’s flexible design lets you bring its brutal energy to the game of your choice.
The rules are fast to learn and deadly in play—streamlined without sacrificing depth. Every fight is dangerous. Every risk matters. Every victory is earned in blood.
Deathbringer restores the pulse-pounding thrill of true adventure and the creeping dread of the unknown to your tabletop.
Death is Only the Beginning!
In Deathbringer, combat is fast. Brutal. Unforgiving. And death? Death is part of the journey.
Every fall makes you harder. Deadlier. Closer to legend.
First time you hit 0 HP? You fall unconscious… and rise marked by a scar—and a powerful Prestige Talent. You have learned from your mistakes.
Second time? You lose an eye. A limb. Even a level. But you gain another Prestige Talent. The pain makes you stronger.
Third time? You die. But before you fall, you take one final action—and it automatically succeeds with a Critical Success.
Go down swinging. Go down legendary!
