Watching the later seasons of the Clone Wars and being acutely aware of what happens to all those younglings hits different.

ONE HOUR LEFT!

Just over 1 day left to back Apocalyptic Adventure! #1 - The Eye of God by Scott Moore! A lvl 2 adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics & Mutant Crawl Classics! All stretch goals are unlocked, including a new encounter, a mini-adventure, a special dice insert, 5e conversion notes, and MUTANT MINIS!

KINLESS holds a special place for me. I spent 3 years writing it. Through Covid, losing an eye, losing my job, the death of my daughter, the naysayers who said I'd never finish... I kept plugging away and pouring more of myself into it. it's done and it's out there and I'm proud of it.

The DTRPG sale was a big success, pushing KINLESS and Explore Dungeons Zine higher on the sales charts. KINLESS is now a Silver Best Seller, which makes me super happy. So THANK YOU to everyone that dropped in and bought something. I appreciate you.

I saw Supergirl last night. it's not perfect, nor does it need to be, but it was quite good. There are some pretty heavy themes in the movie, which I won't overtly spoil, but I will throw out a TW for (implied) SA.

We are 31 bucks from the final stretch goal, with 4 days to go and it's literally* killing me... the last goal is a set of mutant minis, perfect for your post apocalyptic adventures. We're so close.... *ok no, not literally, but you know what I mean.

Y'all...we are surprisingly close to stretch gpal #5!!! Let's Goooo!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

The boss is still away and the sale is still going strong. Get your copy of KINLESS (or any of our other books) for only a buck! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

The boss (that's me) is out of town at Origins, so the minions (also me) are having a big sale at DriveThruRPG. All our stuff (even KINLESS) is a buck (each) until I get back! DriveThruRPG - Explore Dungeons share.google/4BFu6CwpsHqB...

Going to Origins? Want to connect? (Or just need to reach me?) Here you go.

FYI. Need KINLESS character sheets? They are PWYW on DTRPG. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Wait, what?

Going to Origins this week (for the first time) and wow THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF TO DO I'm trying not to overbook myself, but OMG. I'm really excited. Also, if you see a guy in an Explore Dungeons t-shirt, there's a 66% chance it's me, so say hi.

Can I just rent a cabin in the woods for 6 people and do nothing but eat junk food, sleep, and play RPGs for a week straight? Who's in? I promise not to snap and kill anyone.

Rewatching The X-Files and sure not all episodes aged well, but overall I'd say it holds up. It's still as riveting as it was 28 years ago.

We could use a little nudge... the backer train has hit a speed bump.

Going to Origins for the first time. Who do I know that'll be there? (No booth, just attending, but I'll be wearing an Explore Dungeons shirt.)

It's looking like a busy summer for heroes. I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu in May, Supergirl is coming out this month, and Spider-Man Brand New Day is next month. Also a new season of X-Men 97 later this summer. What are you excited about?

Our NON-ZOMBIE Post Apocalyptic TTRPG DCC / MCC crossover adventure, The Eye of God, is now LIVE on BackerKit! Take your DCC characters to a whole new world with us!

I love RPG funnels and MCC really makes it hilarious. Imagine thinking you're just a scrub, watching all your friends die, only to "discover" you were actually a laser-eyed mutant or poison spraying sentient plant all along. Do you roleplay the "transformation" a level 1? or just roll with it?

So... where are my Mutant Crawl Classics fans? What's your favorite adventure you've played? I want hear ALL about it.

Did you miss out on Zinetopia? Explore Dungeons #4 and #5? Tales from the Tower #2? sMörkåsBorg #2? Deep Zine? Well you're in luck. The preorder store is now OPEN!!

6 seconds... so close. We were 6 seconds away from the end of Overtime Mode and then we got extended again! This is hour 46 of Overtime Mode for all projects connected to Mega Dungeon Mont.

BackerKit has Overtime Mode. If people keep backing your project, it keeps extending the end by 10 min so you MIGHT get xtra $$. BUT if you're a collab project, ALL extend if ANY get backed in OT. 13+ hrs of OT feels like I'm hosting a NYE party but THE BALL NEVER DROPS and we're all zombies now.

Due to a family emergency, I will be unable to attend Dungeon Con 2. All attendees for my Murderworm sessions have been notified (nobody signed up for the Apprentice session). I'd love to run them on Discord soon though. If anyone is interested, hit me up.

From weeks to days to hours left... don't miss your chance to grab this weird, fun adventure for both Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and D&D 5e from Explore Dungeons. Also, adorable Carnivorous Cauldron and Triglin miniatures!

WOW! We made @backerkit.com's list of "April Projects People Won't Shut Up About" and by people, I guess they mean ME, but hey whatever. I'll take it. @goodmangames.bsky.social @studio2publishing.bsky.social #ttrpg #exploredungeons #castlewhiterock #DCCRPG

Seems like nearly every crowdfunding project hits a point, a couple weeks in, where the wind stops blowing, and the boat stops moving. That's us right now. Usually it lasts about a week and then picks back up near the end, but right now it's suuuper quiet out here. This is my message in a bottle.

We didn't do stretch goals this time around, because the books already had everuthing I wanted in them. They are done, all the art, all the writing, the layout, everything but the printing. Does having (or not) stretch goals affect your decision to back a project? Do you get excited about them?

I've lost 9 backers (so far) on my project since Dungeon Crawler Carl launched. It's not a lot and we're still doing well, but it's disappointing. Yes, you always lose a few, but this is the first I've lost so many in such a short period, so it feels like there's a connection, even if there isn't.

A key part of the adventure are these adorably territorial three-eyed goblins called Triglins. They're super cute (and deadly of course). I think they're awesome. So of course, Raven made minis of them and you can add them to your pledge! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Did I mention a new printing of KINLESS coming in June? Did I also mention it has a SILVER FOIL VEGVISIR cover? Ok but did I mention it will be VERY limited quantity? No Kickstarter / BackerKit for this, so please call / visit your FLGS and beg them to order it from the distributor (or Studio 2).

We are 46 freakin' dollars away from $10,000 and it's killin me. *twitch*

I know I'm late to the party, but I started Dungeon Crawler Carl yesterday. Im about 3 chapters in and it's got some interesting concepts for sure. I assume the cat levels up at some point.

The Carnivorous Cauldron funded in 30 minutes! Two hours in and we're almost at 200%. Back us for a physical pledge in the first 48 hours and get a free Carnivorous Cauldron miniature.

My Barbarian is still trekking along... I'm about halfway through ACT II of Diable II Resurrected. I've got the Horadric Cube and The Staff of Kings and yes, the Maggot Lair is just as gross and annoying in HD as you might expect.

If you like peanut butter in your chocolate, you just might dig this weird mix of DCC and MCC... coming soon to BackerKit.

Two VERY short weeks away... are you ready? I'm ready.

A few of these aren't out of the oven yet, but they will be this year. Meanwhile, be sure to ask your FLGS to help you fill in any gaps in your collection.

Explore Dungeons (Zine) EDZ #1 is in its 3rd printing. #2 & #3 are in 2nd printing. #4 & #5 come out this year. Rather than more printings of single issues, I'm thinking of an omnibus in 2027 w/ #1-5 + some bonus content. Orrrr should I do a mega book and include our 5e, MB. and other zines too?

ok ok, for real. we are TWO DOLLARS away from hitting $4K on our Zinetopia project and and and my OCD is in full blown overdrive. Somebody help me out here. Please. Whoever pushes me over $4k gets a cool sticker, my eternal gratitude, and if I see you at DungeonCon, I'll throw in a crisp high-five.

The Heroic Adventure! Evil Never Dies Poster Map Packs are officially SOLD OUT. I'm out, the warehouse is out. Your FLGS may have one, or their distributor might, but once those are gone, that's it. If there is sufficient demand, we *might* do another printing, but it could be a while.

ONLY FOUR (4) DAYS LEFT... All Stretch Goals UNLOCKED! Explore Dungeons #4 & #5 sMörkåsBorg #2 Tales from the Tower #2 Deep Zine + back issues! #ttrpg #zine #zinetopia #exploredungeons @backerkit.com

If your FLGS has any copies of Meeple Monthly #155 (Feb 2026) be sure to pick one up. There's a great article about KINLESS in it. And after you read it, send it to me and I'll happily cover US postage. I need a couple copies. Thanks! cover pic for easy identification!

Wow! If i had any more stretch goals, we would have just hit them too. Thank you everyone for a great campaign. There's still 10 days left, but everything is unlocked, meaning FIVE new zines this year. Like the man says... Woooooo!

Fair warning. I just downloaded the new Diablo II. So if you don't hear from me for a bit, im ok.

Wow! At some point while I was asleep, you guys blew through the 3rd stretch goal (Deep Zine) and are over halfway to the 4th and final(?) stretch goal: Explore Dungeons Zine #5! You've funded EDZ4 and unlocked sMörkåsBorg 2, Tales from the Tower 2, and Deep Zine with ~ $155 remaining on EDZ5.

You unlocked the Tower. That's incredible! That means we've funded Explore Dungeons #4, sMörkåsBorg #2, and Tales from the Tower #2. Now we're working on unlocking stretch goal #3: DEEP ZINE (our Deep Space / Deep Magic fanzine) It also means we've announced our Super Secret Stretch Goal!
