Dungeon Crawler Carl’s Epic Tabletop Adventure Hits Crowdfunding Gold
The world of Dungeon Crawler Carl is buzzing with excitement! Matt Dinniman’s beloved LitRPG series is not just getting a TV adaptation and a new toy line, but it’s also diving into the tabletop gaming scene in a big way. Renegade Game Studios has just kicked off a crowdfunding campaign that has already shattered expectations, raking in over $3.5 million within its first day! The initial target? A mere $250,000.
If you’re eager to dig deeper into the campaign, head over to Backerkit where you can find all the juicy details about what’s on offer. The campaign features two fully licensed tabletop games being launched simultaneously. The first is the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG, and the second is Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable, which brings a fresh twist to Renegade’s popular deckbuilding game.
Pledge options are varied, ranging from just $1 to a whopping $900, with the priciest tier offering the chance to create your very own character for an official quest. How cool is that?
So, what exactly is the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG? According to the campaign, it’s described as a “full-skill based TTRPG set in the brutal, televised World Dungeon.” Players will have access to over 30 races and a plethora of classes and subclasses to customize their characters.
An official ‘How to Play’ guide is now available on YouTube, outlining everything you need to know. The RPG is heavily skill-focused, featuring various types of skills that players and Game Masters (GMs) can design with no limits! Skills are categorized into four main types:
- Attack Skills: Your go-to for weapon skills, tactics, and techniques.
- Spell Skills: Utilized by magic users, these require mana to cast spells.
- Utility Skills: These manage interactions, crafting, and non-combat abilities.
- Passive Skills: Always in effect and do not require a skill check to activate.
Much like Dungeons & Dragons, players will be rolling a 20-sided die for various skill checks, but here’s the twist: only players roll the dice, while GMs keep their hands off the d20!
The campaign is just getting started, so there’s still plenty of time to jump on board before it wraps up on May 15. As for when you can expect to receive your games? The fulfillment date is tentatively set for late October 2026. So mark your calendars and get ready for some epic adventures!
