1 Hour left to save the world!! 

Thank you all so much for your amazing support!


 

My Buddy Pete at Revenent Cowboy Press made a module on his Patreon inspired by Dungeon Death! 

"This month is a module I made that for a game that is just wrapping up it's Kickstarter, called Dungeon Death, that can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crimsonaddergames/dungeon-death-16-bit-rules-for-shadowdark

Essentially you are teens who are sucked into a video game to survive! The Gamer class is cool as hell. I'm excited for it as all hell!

The module I created is called Bloodfeast Manor, inspired by games like Splatterhouse, Sweet Home, Resident Evil and more!

It's paid access to Patreons, however if you provide proof you backed either the PDF, physical or both for Dungeon Death, I'll send you a PDF for free!"

48 hours to go!!

Final Boss!
2 months ago – Mon, Feb 23, 2026 at 12:27:02 PM

We are approaching the final boss (week)! Thank you so much for all the wonderful support! 

I am working on making 4 one-page dungeons, I plan to give to all backers digital and beyond! The first preview is of a Castlevania-inspired point crawl called Castle Crimson.

I put out a new video on my Patreon talking about the Dungeon Death and some other stuff I'm up to! 

Return to Crater Valley: Secrets of The Mask is the long awaited sequel to BLACKOUT in Crater Valley, a roleplaying adventure powered by the Dungeon Crawl Classics role playing game system. Inspired by VHS era slasher films, 80's and 90's nostalgia, DIY music subculture and Cthulhu Mythos horror, RTCV will scratch your nostalgia itch while bringing a unique gaming experience to your RPG table.

Rock & Roar! is a bestiary of over 50 new monsters inspired by classic rock songs and bands with stats for the Old-School Essentials RPG (a faithful clone of B/X Dungeons and Dragons) and the Shadowdark RPG (a streamlined, old-school spin on 5E D&D). The project will have two books, each book with the same creatures--varying only by the game system statistics for the monsters.

The concepts of most creatures are riffs based on a band name or song title and only use lyrics or other things about a band as minor homages or Easter eggs.
