Become a Darkdawn Focus Contributor Darkdawn is not being built in public. Before release, a small number of players are invited behind the veil to help shape the world, systems, and tone of the game as it evolves. This is a focused, deliberate process — not open playtesting, not a Discord free-for-all. If you’re drawn to slow-burn worlds, meaningful mechanics, and atmosphere that actually matters, this is where your input counts.
Why the Focus Group Exists Darkdawn is designed to feel coherent, intentional, and lived-in. That only happens when feedback comes from players who understand what the game is trying to be. Focus Contributors: Influence real mechanical and thematic decisions Help pressure-test ideas before they’re locked Shape expansions, factions, and long-term direction Every application is read. Access is limited.
What You Get as a Focus Contributor Early access to rules, revisions, and experimental material The ability to give direct feedback on mechanics, tone, and direction Visibility into how Darkdawn is being built behind the scenes Credit in the final release (where appropriate) Priority access to future expansions and releases This isn’t about volume feedback. It’s about signal.
