Have you been keeping up with our Add-ons? In addition to the DCC: Crocodile bookmark add-on achievement you unlocked with your avalanche of comments, you guys also unlocked a brand-new Shotgun Messenger enamel pin as thanks for helping us reach #5 most popular project on BackerKit!  

Add-ons are optional items that you can add to your physical reward tier regardless of the tier! There's no limit to the number of add-ons you can slap on your pledge, but also no guarantee these will ever be made available again after the end of the campaign. So make sure you're happy with your life choices before we close up shop early next month.

Now that we're thinking about it, what about a new add-on for reaching #4 most popular? that would be kind of neat, wouldn't it? Would be quite a shame if we added that goal to our achievement page.

As we promised, we're dropping a NEW limited tier this week on Wednesday, October 15, at 9am PST. This new tier will be the LEGENDARY MATT BOX, and will include every item in the LEGENDARY CROC BOX, plus an additional signed copy of the exclusive Crocodile edition with Matt's signature inside the book itself (and  another signed bookplate).

Huge appreciation and thanks to Matt Dinniman for going through the extra effort of signing physical items for this campaign. This specific signed item was a request from several Crawlers who mentioned their interest in the comments, so, additional thanks to you all for commenting!

Speaking of comments...

New Achievement: You're a dick!

Don't spam. We know there's a leader board and we definitely know you all love to win, but spamming comments disrupts the enjoyment of the game for your other crawlers and we simply can't have that. 

Since we didn't explicitly say "Don't Spam" before this, please consider this message your single warning--we'll be forced to take more direct action against your account if we see blatant spamming going forward 🔪 



Last... did anyone end up going to NYCC and visiting the Vault Comics table? How did you like it? Pick up anything cool? 

Head's up! As we mentioned in our previous update, we're making new limited tiers available to those who might have missed out the first time around. The first offering will go live soon: at 9am PST today, October 9th, and we will be upgrading the Celestial Brett Box Tier to 20 more slots.

In other news, we've got not one but TWO Achievement challenges running.

Since we're sneaky and sometimes add things in before we announce them, you can always check out new, current, and previous Achievements at this link.

A lot of things, we're sure, but Matt's next appearance will be at NYCC this week at the Javitz center. You can catch him at the show, and he'll be signing ashcan preview copies of DCC: Crocodile along with artist Brett Bean at the Vault Comics booth #4351 on Sunday at 1pm. If you can't make it on Sunday, come check out the booth any time to see our NYCC previews and everythibng else the Vault team is up to! Our booth is the one with the Big Rig covered in skulls, crossbows and swords... you know, the usual. You can't miss it.

What else? If you're newer to comics, you might not know much about Aethon and Vault's other titles, including the smash hit audio book/ eBook-turned graphic novel, Black Badge: Dead Acre. You should probably trust folks with good taste, such as... okay, let's see what Matt himself has to say.



Intrigued? Mildly concerned? You won't be disappointed-- it's now the #1 comic in Amazon's Dark Fantasy Graphic Novel category, too. Find out more here! (and, yes, Matt gave us his blessing to share some fine non-DCC comics with you)

Last, but assuredly not least, the next limited edition hardcover campaign for DCC Volumes 2 and 3 are coming to Kickstarter.

We're 100% certain it will kick ass when it launches next week. Go take a look at what they're up to at the link! 

We've read your feedback about how quickly the Limited Tiers sold out on launch day, even with slots being withheld for the "official" 9am launch. As you know, the creative team on Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile is about the best team you could ask for, and they wanted to make sure that folks have a second chance at these tiers. As a result, we will be offering additional slots on sold-out tiers and additional (very) limited tiers in the coming weeks. To give everyone a fair chance at being present when these tiers go live, we'll be sharing the time of the drop with project followers a few days before.

Starting with...

The first offering will go live at 9am PST, Thursday, October 9th, and we will be upgrading the Celestial Brett Box Tier to 20 more slots. This limited pledge tier originally sold out on launch day at 20 slots. This addition of 20 more slots will likely be the final adjustment to this very limited original art tier.



Note: We unfortunately cannot guarantee that everyone who wants a limited tier will be able to nab one--these tiers are in high demand and sold out in just a few minutes when they were first offered--but we're giving everyone pre-notification so you have the best chance to snag a slot. 

✨ And, of course, a huge thanks to Brett Bean for agreeing to offer additional character art for DCC: Crocodile! 

We will let you know when the next limited tiers become available. Thanks again for your interest in these limited tiers from the creators. 

Well, you wacky bastards really did it: the Gold Fan Box has been opened, and bonus reward voting is now underway (also linked below). Voting remains open until 9am PST, October 9th, so be sure to weigh in!

In case you haven't been keeping up with this feature of the campaign: each major milestone of the project unlocks a new FAN BOX. At the moment, we've unlocked the first 3 Fan Boxes, with the 4th Platinum Box unlocking once we hit #5 on the all-time most funded page shown here. As of today we're ranked #8 most funded, but we think DCC: Crocodile can break through to the top 5 as folks continue to discover the project.

You can always check out our current unlock status on the main project page, under the Fan Box section.

That's it for now, thanks for reading! 

Happy Monday, Crawlers!

Are you ready for another week of kicking ass? Because you guys are inventing the Progression Reality genre right before our eyes. We're now the #8 most funded project EVER on the BackerKit website and, on top of that, we're extremely close to opening the Gold Fan Box with the next round of free upgrade rewards (and "rewards") for you to choose from.

And, in case you missed this thread, we've decided that waiting for Fan Boxes to open can get a little dull, so we've been sprinkling in optional achievement-based unlocks. Last Friday you all achieved (in roughly 30 seconds) a new bookmark add-on, available now! This reward was sadly not chosen for inclusion in previous Fan Boxes, but for everyone who commented your disappointment--we got you.


Will there be more add-on challenges? Definitely. Will they be a little harder to unlock than the previous one? Probably. Will one of them be the option to pump your boxes full of glitter? NO, you absolute sickos.

There's a lot more to come, but in the meantime, let's return to our roots and get a Backer-only sneak peek of concepts from the graphic novel.

Update: you unlocked this item in under 10 minutes. Here's your add-on, you filthy animals!

Happy Friday, Crawlers,

First off, I must say wow. In just two days, you've helped raise 1.25M for this campaign, pushing it into the top 10 most funded projects EVER launched on BackerKit (currently number 9), as well as one of the longest Backer Trains ever achieved. I can’t tell you enough how excited people are to see how all this is going to play out.

Not only that, but you've unlocked TWO Fan Boxes so far... way faster than we anticipated! Did you vote? Here are the winning upgrades that Backers voted for:

The Add Glitter faction unfortunately did not pull through on the last round of voting, but we do appreciate your dedication to chaos. 

Some bonus options from the previous Fan Boxes WILL be going away. You didn't vote for the bonus bookmark, but many of you wanted one to go with your book. So, to keep it honest,  if *this post* receives 200 responses to the above question, we will make the most upgraded version of the bookmark available as an optional add-on.

Ready? Set? GO.

Update: you unlocked this item in under 10 minutes. Here's your add-on, you filthy animals!
