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

Created by Rugby-Melee Games

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.

What a great campaign!
6 months ago – Sat, Sep 06, 2025 at 10:05:20 AM

Hey, Creatures! Thank you all so much for your contributions and for a great campaign! We're thankful for all the support! This would not have been possible without every one of you.

Now we'll start putting the finishing touches on the stretch goals we blew through while we wait for the funds to come through from BackerKit. Please keep an eye on this and your emails for further information.

While we had a live stream planned for the last couple of hours of the campaign, I (John) set it to end at 2 am today and not 2 pm. So sorry for that oversight, everyone. Though if you are reading this and you missed out on the crowdfunding, we'll have our pre-order store (here) open very soon. 

Also, don't forget to vote on our final poll! It will close out in the next 10 hours. 

Cheers! 

$25K Goal SMASHED! An extra adventure added to the book - $30K and another class is in reach!!

We're here folks, the final push.

 Let's hit that $30k mark and make our Weird Uncle Brendan do some work on this! A whole new class awaits us.

What unlocked? US $25,000 - ANOTHER ADVENTURE: At this level, an original Dungeon Dwelling Creatures adventure, Through Time, will be included in all versions of the book. 


  • US $27,000 - VIRTUAL BATTLE MAP: At this level, a virtual battle map for the Through Time adventure is unlocked.


  • US $30,000 - A NEW CLASS BY BRENDAN LASALLE: Crazy Uncle Brendan has agreed to provide a new class, the Swarm Tribe. The Swarm Tribe class represents several different species of tiny humanoids that band together and act in unison. These tiny folk live, work, and fight so closely with one another that they effectively act as a superorganism.

Brendan LaSalle is a writer for Goodman Games, best known for his thrilling Xcrawl DCC-compatible system and setting. He has written numerous adventures for Goodman Games and is also the head of the Road Crew!

Live Stream and a Message from Weird Uncle Brendan!
6 months ago – Tue, Sep 02, 2025 at 07:03:56 PM

Good evening, Creatures! This is a short update, but a cool one. We'd like to remind you to tune in here from noon to 2 PM CST on Saturday (9/6/25) for a live stream with me (John), Eddie, and numerous people who have helped bring Dungeon Dwelling Creatures to life. We'll discuss some of our favorite moments while designing the game and playtests as we count down to the end of the BackerKit campaign.

Lastly, we wanted to share a special message from Weird Uncle Brendan LaSalle regarding his stretch goal, the Swarm Tribe race-class! Though this was recorded for our live stream (since Brendan will not be able to attend), since it was so cool, we decided to share it now. You can watch it by clicking here. Enjoy!
