THIS SOFTCOVER BOOK features over 100 pages of new classes, races, spells, deities, carousing, magic items, monsters, a heart-pounding 0-level gauntlet adventure and much more. Notably, its digest-sized design ensures a seamless integration with your Shadowdark RPG manual.

ALL of the art is hand drawn, inked and human inspired and generated. This means we are collaborating with a group of talented artists to bring you art that has never seen the light of artificial intelligence. We believe that these artists deserved to be paid for their time, effort and amazing capabilities, just like in ye olden days of 1e, DCC, DarkSun and more.

WE CHERISH THE OSR GENRE. From campaigns in D&D 1e to Basic Fantasy, the fear of what lurked around the next corner created powerful memories. When Shadowdark RPG emerged, blending the best elements of OSR and NSR, while keeping things quick and intuitive, we were sold! The system captured our hearts so completely that we couldn't resist the urge to craft a supplement of our own.


THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, we've paid careful attention to the community's admiration for Kelsey's work and closely listened to their feedback on 3rd-party creations. Our greatest hope is that anyone who lays hands on UNNATURAL SELECTION will experience the same sense of wonder and excitement, cherishing it as deeply as they do the original, extraordinary work.

We realize THESE GOALS ARE AMBITIOUS, yet we firmly believe that in order to pay homage to the essence of Shadowdark RPG, we must achieve them.

Anything short of that would be unworthy of bearing its name.





 

UNNATURAL SELECTION brings two worlds together; the Untamed and the Underworld! A savage beastmaster transforms and unleashes primal fury, a plague doctor brews potent elixers of healing and affliction, a spirit-guided shaman evokes sacred rituals to command the elements, and a nefarious grave warden raises decaying ancestors to do their bidding.
