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.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

DDC-branded dice update & the Long Con!
4 months ago – Tue, Nov 04, 2025 at 02:18:21 PM

Greetings, Creatures! We're still working on finalizing the details of the core book and awaiting some items from our stretch goal contributors. Having said that, I know it's been a bit since I posted an update, so here's some more information on the DDC-branded dice. 

We modified the image slightly because it wouldn't have looked as good if we had printed it as is. Here is an idea of what the logo will look like now, though the final product may differ a bit. the left image is the mock up that Baron of Dice did and the right image is the updated logo Sgt. Dave put together. 

We're heading to the Long Con! If you're planning to attend, please say hi to Eddie and me both. We'll give you some swag! Additionally, many of the contributing authors will be there too. If you have not attended it is, in my opinion, the best con in the southern United States. Plenty of Dungeon Dwelling Creatures will be run at the con. If you cannot find a table, ask the Judge, and I'm sure they might be able to make extra room.

Next will be a post Long Con recap! I (we) hope to see you there!

Progress & Gamehole Con!!!
5 months ago – Fri, Oct 10, 2025 at 07:38:48 PM

Hey, Creatures! I know it's been a bit since we've had an update. We're continuing to work on everything so we can get it to you as quickly as possible. We're working with our artists on all the stretch goal art and even some bonus art. Here is a sample of one of the amazing contributions that the talented Joey Docil created for the book!



I (John) will be taking a short break from writing, editing, and everything else while Eddie keeps things moving. I'm doing this so I can head out to Gamehole Con! On Saturday (10/18), I will be running games (as Judge Knight) for Crawl for The Cure. It's for a great cause, and if you see me or sit at my table, please say hi and let me know that you're a fan of DDC, and I'll give you some free swag! There are still some seats available so check it out at the link above.

Good afternoon, Creatures! We've been busy getting everything done that we owe you. We're adding our final touches to the book and working with the artists and writers to get all the additional stretch goals taken care of as quickly as possible. We'll have some snapshots of some of the stretch goals soon. 

For those of you who missed out, the Pre-Order store is officially open and on the front page. Sorry for the confusion with earlier posts. We heard from many of you that you could not find the store. Please see the picture below for details.



Please share with those who missed the BackerKit! 

Funds Released! What's next?
6 months ago – Wed, Sep 17, 2025 at 06:17:25 AM

Good morning, Creatures! BackerKit just released the funds. This update will be about our next steps.

First, some good news! We are putting Brendan LaSalle's stretch goal into the book! This means all backers who purchased any version of the book will get the Swarm Tribe class.

Now what? We're going to continue putting the final touches on the book (stretch goal incorporation and other content), order all the add-ons (dice, dice holders, t-shirts, and more), and then we will send the book off to the printers. 

We will also be reopening the pre-order store soon. We will now have limited quantities. So if you missed out, you can just act while it lasts. We will post a direct link in the updates and on the main page when it is open. 

We'll catch up with you soon, as we're going to get back to the work we owe you! 

Campaign Wrap-Up + Pre-Orders Tomorrow!
6 months ago – Mon, Sep 08, 2025 at 04:56:08 PM

Hey everyone,

To Our Backers

Thank you! This campaign went better than we ever dreamed. Your social media stretch goal vote is in and you unlocked an extra die! 🎲 Patches came in a close second, and we’re already brainstorming ways to make them available in the future.

For Non-Backers

Missed the campaign? No worries; the pre-order store goes live tomorrow at 9 AM CST! For 1 week only, pre-orders will be at discounted prices, and every dollar will still count toward stretch goals. That means your pledge can help unlock even more goodies for the book.

 Don’t wait—jump in early and help power up DDC!

– Eddie & John
