DCC-Compatible RPG where YOU play the Monsters! Welcome to Dungeon Dwelling Creatures

You're no Hero. You destroy heroes. You are the bane of adventurers and those who seek fortune and glory in dungeons and ruins. Dungeon Dwelling Creatures is a Dungeon Crawl Classics-compatible RPG in which you take on the role of a monster.

Working with Goodman Games on a new project for Megadungeon Month!
2 days ago – Tue, Mar 10, 2026 at 06:53:40 PM

Greetings, Creatures! 

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with Goodman Games for Megadungeon Month with a brand-new adventure: Made a Monster!

Designed to be played alongside the legendary Castle Whiterock, this wild scenario is fully DCC, DDC, and 5E compatible.

In Made a Monster!, a horrific ritual twists the adventurers into monsters! Now trapped in terrifying new bodies, they must race against time to undo the transformation and stop the sinister forces behind it—before the change becomes permanent.

Expect chaos, danger, and monstrous mayhem in the depths of the dungeon.

Follow the project and learn more here.

How about some more art?

Thanks for all the support so far. We're working hard in the dungeon to put all this together. While we're writing and editing, someone else can be creating some more awesome art of our Creatures. What would you like to see?

Dummy Books Received & Owl Con!
25 days ago – Sun, Feb 15, 2026 at 05:31:36 PM

Hey, creatures! We are very overdue for an update. We are still working on things, and Stefan (our editor) is keeping Eddie and me focused on the right things to ensure DDC is the best book it can be! 

While we have been busy ordering art and putting the final touches on a few things, the dummy books came in! I have included pictures below, and they look and feel fantastic. The white one is the standard version with the art, and the green one is the leatherette limited edition version. 


The first con of the year that we'll have a presence at is Owl Con! If you're in the Houston, TX area this coming weekend, please come by and look us up! We'll be running some Creatures games and partnering with the Long Con Press at their booth. We'll have free swag available and the dummy books to look at if you'd like to swing by and put your hands on them. 

Art & Limited Edition Covers Poll!
3 months ago – Mon, Dec 08, 2025 at 01:59:59 PM

Greetings, Creatures! Eddie and I are still hard at work. The stretch goal authors have mostly gotten in everything they owe us. And, as promised, we're using the additional funds raised to get more art in the core book! Foes will be included in the book for your monsters to face. One of the sample foes we'll have is angels. Here is one of the art orders, fresh off the press from Dax Hamon!


We received in samples of the limited edition color options from our printer. The look and feel is great, but Eddie and I have run into a disagreement on which option to choose. He has his favorite and I have mine. We figured the best way to settle this was to turn it over to you, our backers! Please vote on the poll to determine if you like the lighter green or the darker green cover.

XCrawl Rodeo & DDC-Branded Dice have arrived!
4 months ago – Tue, Nov 18, 2025 at 05:09:47 PM

Greetings, Creatures! One of the Dungeon Dwelling Creatures contributing authors, Matt De Micco, just launched a new BackerKit that is an XCC-compatible adventure called XCrawl Rodeo! We're live now, talking about it. Check us out, here and give it a back!

Second, the DDC-branded d6 have arrived! They look and feel (yes, you read that right) fantastic. Baron of Dice did a bang-up job on them. Once we get everything, we will send them out with your respective pledge levels. Pics follow.
