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.

Progress & Gamehole Con!!!
about 1 year 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. 


Pre-Order Store Open (For Real This Time)!
about 1 year 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?
about 1 year 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!
about 1 year 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!
about 1 year 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!
