Pre-Order Store Open (For Real This Time)!
10 months ago – Tue, Sep 23, 2025 at 03:15:54 PM

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.

Funds Released! What's next?
11 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!
11 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

What a great campaign!

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!!
11 months ago – Fri, Sep 05, 2025 at 01:00:24 PM

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!
