Dan De Fazio’s Deathbringer has lunched its crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit!
Deathbringer is a brutal new tabletop RPG from Professor DM and Roll For Combat, crowned EN World’s Most Anticipated TTRPG of 2026. Fully compatible with Shadowdark and built to drop into any OSR system, Deathbringer delivers fast, savage combat where death isn’t the end — it’s part of the journey.
I’ve been looking forward to Deathbringer for a long time now, and so I was absolutely thrilled when Dan invited me to join the party! I’ll be writing an adventure for Deathbringer!
