The World Dungeon Opens November 23: Dungeon Crawler Carl Hits the Tabletop
Matt Dinniman's crawl comes to your game table with a full RPG, a solo/co-op deck-builder, dice, minis, and more from Renegade Game Studios — all up for pre-order at Saga Concepts.
If you've read the books, you already know: the earth got dissolved, the dungeon got televised, and a guy in boxer shorts and his ex's Persian cat became the galaxy's favorite streaming duo. Now the World Dungeon is opening on your game table. On November 23, 2026, Renegade Game Studios releases the official Dungeon Crawler Carl Roleplaying Game and Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable—the deck-builder—plus dice, a GM screen, and three sets of miniatures.
This launch is a big deal. The BackerKit campaign for these games raised over $13 million from more than 55,000 backers, making it the most-funded game campaign in BackerKit history. Series artist Luciano Fleitas illustrated both games, so everything looks exactly the way the audiobooks made you imagine it.
Retail quantities are limited, and pre-orders are capped at 2 per item per order. Lock yours in below, then come fight us for table space on release week.

New crawl drops, restocks, and event nights at the shop—straight to your inbox. The AI is watching. So are we (in a friendly way).
“Goddammit, Donut!”
— Carl, approximately every chapter
The Headliners
Two very different ways into the dungeon — a full campaign RPG for your group, and a card-crafting deck-builder you can run solo or with one brave co-op partner.
DCC RPG Core Rulebook
The full tabletop RPG. Play Carl, Donut, Florin, or Prepotente—or build your own crawler with a custom class and race (if you survive to floor three). The GM runs your sponsors, your fans, and the sadistic Dungeon AI.
Solo or 2-player co-op card-crafting deck-builder on John D. Clair's Unstoppable system. Sleeve-craft your upgrades and fight neighborhood, borough, and city bosses—but every upgrade makes the boss meaner too.
New to tabletop RPGs, or new to running them? The Starter Set is the easiest on-ramp into the World Dungeon — perfect for a first session with friends who've only ever listened to the audiobooks.
Fit for the Princess Posse. GC, BWR, NW Princess Donut The Queen Anne Chonk, Grand Champion Best in Dungeon, expects these rolled with appropriate ceremony—and yes, the full title is required.
Retail allocation on this line is limited — the campaign behind it was the biggest in BackerKit history, and demand at release will be real. Pre-ordering locks in your copy for release-week pickup or shipping. And when it lands, you'll have a table waiting: we'll be running Unstoppable demos and getting an RPG crawl going at the shop. New achievement: Actually Played It On Release Day.
“Welcome, Crawler.”
The dungeon opens November 23.
Limit 2 per item per order. Pre-order now, then join us at the shop for demo nights when the crawl begins.
