Hi everyone!


Thank you for making Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile graphic novel expansion the most reserved project in BackerKit history, with well over 9,000 backers having reserved before launch! This means, with your support, we're basically launching this campaign fully funded. We're stomping our shiny feet all over the place ✨🦶✨

It's not too late to join in. If you haven't already, please place your reservation before 9am PST/ Noon EST to take advantage of our "Art of the Crawl" concept PDF and, of course, to add the "Noble Steed" holo sticker as a bonus reward. Once the campaign fully launches, these items will not be available from this campaign, at least.

Once more, because it's important--your reservation deposit will be automatically applied to your account AFTER the end of the campaign, so your pledge today (or while we're live) will not reflect that $5 deposit credit. In case you need a refresher, we'll have this info reiterated in our FAQ, too.

Join us at 8amPST for our Launch Day Live Stream event from the front page. See you there! 

Dearest Crawlers,

You've borne with us for weeks--some of you for MONTHS--as we've shared concepts and teasers ahead of the launch of the Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile campaign! And now it's HERE.

Around this time tomorrow (8-9am PST, or 11am-Noon EST) we'll be wrapping up our Launch Day Live Stream with Matt Dinniman, Jeff Hays, Michael Moreci, and Brett Bean, hosted by Andrew Givler.

You can catch the entire thing linked on the main Launch Party front page! For those who asked about recording: yes, we'll be recording and sharing the live stream later as well in case you aren't able to make it in person.

After the live stream, at 9am PST/ Noon EST, the campaign opens up to all and sundry.

As the campaign reaches higher and higher goals, we unlock Fan Boxes with extra rewards that will improve your physical reward tiers automatically, at no extra cost to you. Backers (and only backers) get to pick their preferred freebie by BackerKit poll.



Our first FAN BOX opens tomorrow to celebrate Launch Day, so if you want to vote on Fan rewards, be sure to be a Day 1 Backer.

What's the best way to be prepped? Well, make sure you've got a BackerKit account all set up and ready to go. If you haven't already, you can get one of those for yourself at that link. 

Additionally, this is the LAST DAY to get yourself a reservation gift--this awesome Noble Steed holographic sticker, plus the entire collected development art PDF--added directly to your selected non-digital Loot Box once you check out.

An important note for reservation folks: your reservation deduction will be automatically applied at the END of the campaign. When you pledge for a tier, you will see the full amount being charged. But don't worry! We'v already got your reservation on file. That deposit will be applied to your account automatically BEFORE we charge your card, and the bonus rewards will be sent along with your other rewards in the physical reward tier you selected.

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, we'll also send out an email to all folks who placed a reservation deposit tomorrow as a reminder. Let us know today if you've got any questions, though, and we'll answer them! 

Okay, that's it... see you back here tomorrow for all the action 🐊

... just kidding, we couldn't leave you without one last sneak peek.  

Hello, Crawlers!

Just under 6 days to our Crocodile launch! And we've updated the Launch Party page with this baby right here... our upcoming Launch Day livestream! We've got all the greats: Matt Dinniman, Jeff Hays, Michael Moreci, and Brett Bean ready to talk about the new Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile comic and campaign.

We've got a stellar guest host for you all as well--our MC is Andrew Givler (aka Sigils), author of best-selling books, including the epic Ironbound progression fantasy series.



We can't wait to see you there. We've got all your questions lined up from our previous post (feel free to throw a few more in there while you're at it), so it should be a really great time. See you there! 

And while we're here, check out the Cypher TTRPG campaign from our buds over at Monte Cook Games.  Whether you’re a diehard fan of classic dungeon fantasy games (we know you all love a dungeon), or want to run sci-fi, superhero, horror, or any other genre, Cypher is about to be your new favorite game.

Their campaign wraps in just a few hours, so make sure you don't miss out!



What's that? Just a bit more teasers? Okay fine, you know we could never say no to you.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl: CROCODILE campaign launches in little over a week, on October 1st. Are you ready?? So are we, and with plenty of surprises left in store.

Our first surprise was a FREE gift that comes with your reservation for a physical tier. If you are pretty sure you'll be backing, then your $5 pre-launch placeholder reservation nabs you these rewards as a thank-you for your pre-support. Reservation gifts go away as soon as we hit Launch, so make sure you get your $5 down before October 1st.



We had a few questions about shipping and tiers and general book availability post-campaign... all answers will be revealed at Launch, but to quickly summarize, yes, we're able to ship to the countries you'd normally expect (nothing off-planet, please). Physical rewards will start at an affordable, typical price for this size and quality of this hardcover book.  And, of course, we'll have a full range of tiers for those who are more interested in the rare, campaign-exclusive, and personalized rewards, most of which will only be available through this CROCODILE campaign.

Additionally, we always do our best to fulfill books to backers well in advance of their release to the general public--most certainly the digital version of the comic, which is included with every reward tier. If you want to be the first in line to read CROCODILE, this is definitely the place to be. 

We've been working on this campaign for months to make sure that you have FUN in addition to getting a high quality comic, filled to bursting with extras (...if you want them, we'll leave the voting to you)! We even designed a whole slew of campaign graphics, just for funzies. The loot boxes in the book are so specialized, so we wanted ours to reflect the Croc theme as well.

Check out the follower-only content below for a sneak peek at some of our loot concepts! 

Seems like you're all pretty excited about the upcoming Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile graphic novel... suffice to say, we are too!

To get the energy really going before launch, we've got an hour-long Launch Day Livestream planned for October 1st from 11am-Noon EST (8am-9am PST), one hour before we go live at Noon EST (9am PST), starring Matt Dinniman himself and a few more fancy names (and...voices) you might recognize ✨

We'll announce the full host and guest list for you to chew on next week!

Until then, we want to ask you: what questions do you have for Matt about the upcoming graphic novel? Post your questions to Matt in the comments, and we'll pass those on to him... maybe your question will be answered live on the Launch Day stream! 

And for our lovely followers, another look at Florin concepts below the cut!

Thanks guys, and have a great weekend!
