🍩 Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG | Official Rules Day One | Foundry

Creating your character

Two paths, your choice: OPTION 1 — Pre-Generated Crawlers (recommended for your first descent) A roster of fully-built Crawlers using the official DCC RPG rules — classic archetypes covering different playstyles. Show up, pick the one that calls to you, ready to descend. No prep, no rulebook math. You don't need to own the book. OPTION 2 — Build Your Own Crawler Backed the game and itching to use it? We'll build your Crawler together with the official rules in a free 1-on-1 pre-session. You bring the concept — who were you before the world collapsed, and what kind of Crawler are you becoming? I handle the mechanics with you. Every Crawler comes with a hook and a reason they survived. If you've read the series you'll recognise the world; if you haven't, I'll teach you everything at the table. Character creation happens before Session 1 — we don't burn descent time on it.

Preparing for the session

Join the Desperado Club Discord (invite sent after booking). It's a live server with seven tables already crawling. You get your Crawler ID and meet the System on day one.

What Jase brings to the table

At this table, you'll get: 🍩 Running weekly across seven tables 🍩 The System AI voiced in character — achievement pop-ups, sponsorship offers, and announcements delivered with the right unhinged glee. The System is a character at this table, not a menu. 🍩 A living, reacting audience — loot boxes, cooldowns, sponsorships, viewer counts. Play to the cameras. The viewers decide if you live well or die poor. 🍩 Cinematic production — live Syrinscape soundscapes (the hum of the floor, the static before an announcement) and custom portraits for every Bopca, monster, and talk-show host. 🍩 Lethal, funny, fast combat — the Dungeon doesn't pull punches and neither do I. Death is real. So is glory. Rule of Cool for the moments that earn a highlight reel. 🍩 A GM who knows this world cold — 45 years behind the screen, Celestial-tier backer, every book read AND listened to. The tone is the hardest thing to get right. I've got it. 🍩 Between-session Discord — build theorycrafting, lore chat, achievement logs, and your highlight reel from the last descent. 🍩 The Desperado Club: cross-table trading, Black Market, leaderboards, boss raids, recap episodes and the System AI bot, live between sessions.

Homebrew rules

None — this table runs the official Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG rules as written, with Foundry automation handling the bookkeeping. Achievements, sponsorships, loot boxes, and the audience are all live at the table. The System notices everything. The System rewards style.

How Jase creates a safe table

Safety isn't an emergency tool at my table — it's how good tables stay good. DCC is dark comedy built on genuine horror: body horror, gore, on-screen death, profanity, and the existential cruelty of a corporation that turned the apocalypse into a game show. Safety tools mean we can lean into the genre confidently. Session 0: Before our first session, we have a 1-on-1 chat covering lines (hard nos), veils (themes we fade to black on), and any personal triggers. Whatever you tell me stays between us. X, N, O Cards: Used throughout sessions via Discord chat. X = stop and cut this content, N = let's not go further down this path, O = I'm comfortable, keep going. Use them anytime, no questions asked, no judgment. Open Door Policy: Step away from any session at any time, for any reason. Your wellbeing comes before the show. Stars and Wishes: At the end of each session, the table shares Stars (what worked) and Wishes (what could be better). Keeps the table improving. Aftercare: If a descent hits something heavy, I check in privately afterwards.
