Druskara: A Brutal World Setting for use with Shadowdark RPG

When we tell people that the books amount to around 1000 pages, they sometimes say, "Uh oh, I don't have time to read all that!"

But you don't have to. That's the entire idea. We sometimes compare the Druskara books to a Choose Your Own Adventure. You pick a starting location for your party. You read a few pages and then they can jump in. When they move on to the next chamber or the next shop in the town, you turn to that page and continue to run the adventure.



You can literally explore Druskara as your players do. And then, if you feel inspired to read more, it's all there.

The goal with Druskara was to be complete. Not just offer a setting where you still have to fill everything in. It's full enough that you wouldn't have to create anything if you didn't want to. Use the NPCs provided -- their goals, motivations, and stat blocks are ready to run. The 24+ dungeons are mapped, detailed, and written in the concise, yet thorough Shadowdark ethos. Magic items, monsters, events, quests and carousing charts are provided. 

And yet, all of that said, there is plenty of room to create within Druskara. You can add your own dungeons, cities, NPCs, events, and landscapes!

DRUSKARA AWAITS!

If you’ve been watching the campaign and waiting to jump in, this is the simplest way to decide.

Go Core Set ($149) — the complete four-book campaign in a slipcase, built to run the game physically with zero fluff.  This is the clean, no-regret entry if you know you want the books.


Want the full and complete Druskara experience, tools included?

Go Essential Edition ($249) — the full four-book campaign plus every tool and accessory we’ve made to support it. Nothing missing. Some pieces (city cards, cloth map, logbook) will not be available after the campaign.



Want the version you’ll never need to upgrade from?

$200K STRETCH GOAL: THE UMBRAL CALDERA

Okay… we’ve been dying to share this.

At $200,000, we’re unlocking a new zine: The Umbral Caldera! It's a volcanic wasteland where ash chokes the sky and the Shadowdark roams the blackened land. It’s harsh, deadly, and the real threat is not the volcano. Expect a ready-to-run region with new threats, encounters, and delicious snacks... you!

Mark Riddick has already started the cover, and it’s looking so good! check it out below.



Also... we’re at Gary Con right now. If you’re here, say hi. We’d love to meet you.



And yeah… we had a surreal moment seeing Luke Gygax holding the Realms & Rivalries book. A grand tome for a grand wizard!

We’re getting close to $200K. Let’s push it!
