San Diego, CA – November 18 – Renegade Game Studios is thrilled to announce not one, but two all-new tabletop games based on the best-selling Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Fans of the novels can soon dive into their own adventures in the chaotic, televised labyrinth known as the World Dungeon.
Launching on BackerKit in April 2026, this campaign introduces two distinct tabletop experiences:
Game 1 – Dungeon Crawler Carl Roleplaying Game
Based on the best-selling book series, this tabletop RPG lets you create and play as a crawler of your own as they brave the horrors of the World Dungeon.
Play as a familiar face like Carl, Donut, Florin, or Prepotente. Or build your own unique crawler, complete with a customizable class and race (if you survive to floor three!), among other character options.
Key Features:
- Designed for 2+ players: one or more crawlers and a Game Master.
- The Game Master serves as both ally (game guides, managers, NPCs, and sponsors) and enemy (mobs, bosses, and the cruel Dungeon AI).
- Navigate the commercialized torments of the Dungeon, striving to entertain your viewers, gain followers, and survive the onslaught of horrors that are thrown at you.
Game 2 – Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable
Don’t have a full party? No problem.
Dungeon Crawler Carl Unstoppable is a solo or 2-player co-op card-crafting deck-builder set in the World Dungeon. You’ll battle against neighborhood, borough, and city bosses while gearing up and leveling your chosen hero to survive and reach the next floor. Play solo or bring along your own Princess Donut for a co-op run!
Key Features:
- Solo or 2-player deck-building adventure based on John D. Clair’s acclaimed Unstoppable system.
- Card-crafting mechanic allows you to upgrade abilities and equipment as you play.
- Manage risk as upgrading your abilities and equipment also causes the boss to grow in power.
