Titanbound - Climb and Slay Titans in Shadowdark RPG

Titan Hunters, Rally!

The Planeshift Summoner is officially UNLOCKED! 🎉



It happened right in the middle of the livestream chaos, so we didn’t get to pause and give you the proper, heartfelt shout out we owe you.

So here it is, loud and clear: THANK YOU. You’re turning Titanbound into something enormous.

And a special, massive thank you to everyone who joined us today to celebrate Druskara with Dungeon Damsel’s Xane and Bunni. So much fun and wonderful to see their campaign off to an amazing start. The Shadowdark community is unmatched, and we’re grateful to be part of it.

One more reminder before we dive in: we’re live again this Thursday with Dungeons & Dyslexia for a stream dedicated to Titanbound (Thursday at 12:00 PM PST). Come hang out, ask questions, and help us keep the momentum rolling!

So… what did we miss while we were live?

More importantly: we didn’t get to announce the next stretch goal that you earned.

To make up for it, we’re not announcing one…

We’re announcing the next TEN stretch goals right now.

And the good news is: you’ve already unlocked FOUR of them.

Grab your spiked boots because 🏔️ Climb #5 has already begun: Printable Player Aid PDFs (For All Backers!)

Starting at $34,000, for every $1,000 we climb beyond that, we unlock a new Printable Player Aid PDF for all backers.

These are table-ready booklets that contain everything a player needs to run a Titanbound class, organized neatly so someone can play a new class almost as soon as you hand them the aid.

Each Player Aid includes:

And since, as of this writing, we’re just under $39,000, you’ve already unlocked the first FOUR!

✅ Already UNLOCKED Player Aids (4)

🧗 The Rest of the Climb #5 ascension, revealed right now:

That’s ten class-ready Player Aid PDFs, each one unlocked by climbing $1,000 at a time, and every single one goes to all backers.

Thank you again, Titan Hunters. We climbed so fast today that we couldn’t even keep up on stream, and that’s the best kind of problem to have.

Onward and Upward. And we’ll see you Thursday at 12 PM PST with Dungeons & Dyslexia.

Titan Hunters, Rally!

Two more quick (and very exciting) announcements today:

📺 Titanbound Featured on Dungeons & Dyslexia

A huge shoutout to Dungeons & Dyslexia for covering Titanbound on their YouTube channel!

It's genuinely one of the best channels out there that shines a bright spotlight on indie creators. Adrian just wrapped a whole MONTH of daily videos focusing on titles launched during last month's 'zine Quest, and I don't know how he's got the energy to keep going! Thoughtful coverage, real enthusiasm, and a platform that helps smaller projects get seen. Seriously, we’re grateful.

If you haven’t watched the video yet, check it out here: [LINK], or watch below:



And if you enjoy it, please give them some love; likes, comments, subs, the whole deal. Channels like Adrian's make the scene stronger and really help when there's an avalanche of great games coming out all at once.

NEXT STRETCH GOAL!

And as a reminder: we’re already well on our way to unlocking the next stretch goal: The Planeshift Summoner!



So if you’ve been thinking about jumping in, upgrading your pledge, or sharing the campaign with a fellow hunter… no time like the present. Because soon, the Titans will be closing in.

Onward and Upward!

Titan Hunters Rally!

Thanks to all of you, we blasted past our latest stretch goal over the weekend (happy daylight savings day to those who celebrate - and happy International Woman's Day to everyone!), and that means a brand new ancestry is entering the world of Titanbound…

🏔️ Climb #4 Cleared: The Succubus joins the fight.

This seductive and dangerous cambion lineage brings a powerful new flavor to the game. Succubi are masters of influence, temptation, and supernatural charm. Their natural Charisma bonuses and incredible communication abilities make them some of the most socially powerful characters in the game.

And that got us thinking…

Let's face it: for many, Charisma is their dump stat (no offense to all you amazing Bards and Warlocks out there!).

Now that we've unlocked a very Charisma-forward ancestry, why not kick it up a notch? Let's take advantage of all that personality and make a class that puts it to good use!

So, Titan Hunters, your brief respite is over. Time to get back to the climb. Glory awaits at the next height.

Next Stretch Goal: At $34,000, 🏔️ Climb #5 unlocks:

The Planeshift Summoner Class

At $34,000, we unlock a brand-new class built to prove that Charisma can be awesome, too!

The PLANESHIFT SUMMONER harnesses their sheer force of personality to reach into the vast unknown. When they call out, the universe answers by sending a creature to take their place, swapping them instantly.

The Summoner can bond with called creatures, letting them stay longer and grow stronger.

No longer is Charisma just for talk: it’s the key to calling forth powerful allies and shifting the battlefield to your will!



The Planeshift Summoner is a Charisma-based class built around a strange and dangerous magical talent.

Rather than commanding magic through study or divine devotion, the summoner reaches out into the infinite universe using nothing but their Charismatic presence.

They call.

And the universe answers, choosing a random creature to send into the fray. 

There is a momentary cosmic exchange where the summoner and the creature switch places. In a blink of arcane light, the summoner vanishes from the battlefield, replaced by a being from another realm who arrives ready to act on their behalf. 

Once a creature has been summoned, the bond between it and the caster can strengthen, and each Summoner can be bonded with up to three creatures at a time. But keep in mind, these creatures are in this world in their physical form and can die if mortally wounded during battle. If that happens, the Summoner can no longer call upon one of their kind. Use your bonded friends wisely.

Thank you again, Titan Hunters. Because of you, the party keeps growing.

Onward and Upward!

Well met, Titan Hunters!

Very excited to announce that today, Friday March 6th Dungeon Damsel will be hosting a live AMA on their Discord, and they've invited us to join!

Join Us today at 7pm EST/4pmPST for an AMA on all things Titanbound and Druskara over on Dungeon Damsel's Discord! Xane, Bunni and Geoff will be there to provide revealing answers to your burning questions!

I know I have MANY questions about Druskara, which looks just incredible. Hope to see you all there!

Also, thanks to you, we're so close to unlocking the Succubus Ancestry!



Can't wait to add this option to the book!

Have a great weekend, Titan Hunters!

Well met, Titan Hunters!

Today I get to share something I’m genuinely honored (and honestly a little stunned) to announce:

We’re doing a cross-collaboration with the upcoming Druskara campaign by Dungeon Damsel. CLICK HERE to check it out!

🎁 Back Both Campaigns = Free Gifts (From Both of Us)

If you back Titanbound and Druskara, you’ll receive a free gift from each campaign as part of the crossover.

I’m not going to spoil what they’re giving yet - because it deserves its own dramatic reveal - but I can tell you what we are doing with this partnership… and it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.

📚 Titanbound’s First Zine: Stomping Grounds: Druskara Under Siege (~24–32 pages)

Dungeon Damsel has graciously allowed me to adapt the biggest cities in Druskara for Titanbound - and we’re turning the effort into Titanbound’s very first ‘zine: STOMPING GROUNDS Issue #0.

This will be a ~24–32 page zine designed to let you drop a Titan threat (or even a full mini-adventure) straight into Druskara. Want to run a one-night titan attack on the walls of a huge Druskaran city? A desperate hunt through districts and ruins? A full “the city will fall if you don’t stop it” scenario? This zine is built for exactly that.

It’s a chance to take everything Titanbound does - scale, terror, verticality, and desperate heroics - and aim it directly at one of the most compelling settings I’ve seen for Shadowdark.

🗺️ Additional Bonus for Backing Both: Druskara City Hex Tokens

And there’s more: backers of both campaigns will also receive city hex tokens for the Druskara cities featured in the zine - perfect for dropping directly onto your overland maps.

Put the cities on the table. Mark the route. Then unleash the Titan.

Digital-only Backers of Titanbound & any tier of Druskara will get both item as a PDF. Physical Backers of Titanbound & any tier of Druskara will receive both physical and digital copies!

🖤 About Dungeon Damsel (and why this matters)

I can’t say enough good things about Dungeon Damsel.

I was a huge fan of Unnatural Selection, and in my opinion they’re one of the publishers who really helped prove just how big Shadowdark could be, how far it could stretch, how strange and bold it could get, and how premium third-party work for it could feel.

And what I’ve seen of Druskara so far? It’s next level. The kind of setting where you keep stopping mid-read just to mutter, “Okay… wow.” The kind of work that makes you want to play in the world immediately and steal from shamelessly (with love).

So to have them say, “Yes, come play in our world”? That’s an honor. And we’re eternally grateful for the trust.

If you haven't already, click on over to the Druskara page and make a reservation. They have some INSANELY cool things lined up for you. 

Titanbound is getting bigger… and it’s stepping into legendary territory. 

Onward, Titan Hunters.
