15+ projects backed in 2024
15+ projects backed in 2025
Project Update: Shipping Complete
All orders have been shipped via our shipping partner. If there is a problem with your order, whether something is missing, or the wrong size, or whatever... please go through support to contact me. It's not that I don't enjoy hearing from you on social media, email, at the game store, or other means... but if you want your issue taken care of, I need to be able to track it. Please use support.
Now on to more fun stuff.
We have a Zinetopia project ending in a few days. I'm sure you've seen the emails, but... I did want to mention that if you like DCC content, the EDZ4 and EDZ5 zines will both feature content by some well known DCC authors (and no I don't mean me, although I have a piece in there as well). Explore Dungeons Zine 4 (plus more)
That one ends soon, so act fast. Otherwise, you'll be able to find them at your FLGS (and if not, please ask for them).
April is MegaDungeon Month and we're collaborating with Goodman Games on their Castle Whiterock campaign to bring you The Carnivorous Cauldron (for DCC RPG and 5e). That starts on April 2, but you can hit the teaser page now.
If you're going to be at Dungeon Con 2 in Fort Wayne, IN, I'll be running two gamrd of Vault of the Murderworm on Saturday and 1 game of The Wormfather's Apprentice on Sunday. I hope to see some of you there.
If your FLGS isn't carrying Explore Dungeons products, I encourage you to ask them to. THey are available via Studio 2, Alliance, ACD Distribution, Noble Knight Games, and more. We also have distribution in the EU and UK.
Thanks for your patience and support.

Previously backed this creator's crowdfunding project
Invested in BackerKit’s future during our Wefunder campaign
Hi dear creators, I love your product, it will arrive soon at my place in Germany. Unfortunately, I won‘t be able to support upcoming products. I pledged for 25$ of product (which is great), paid shipping for 36$, which is forbiddingly expensive and now FedEx raises some point about taxes and tariffs, adding another 18€. Wow… I know, those >50$ additional costs for a product of 25$ is not your fault, but you see why I can‘t pledge for further products 😢
Project Update: Fulfillment
We got the proof copies in and they look great. The remaining copes are begin sent directly to the warehouse so they can start packing and shipping. Fulfillment should start next week after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Those of you who know me personally are aware that I lost my daughter a couple years ago. It's been unimaginably hard with her gone, but having this creative outlet has truly been life-saving for me. So again, thank you.
More soon,
Chris
Project Update: The wait is over!
Vault of the Murderworm - Standard (3 covers), Deluxe (2 covers), and Digital (all covers) editions are officially out of layout and headed to the printers. Digital Downloads will be made available on BackerKit and DriveThruRPG this weekend.
The Wormfather's Apprentice - standard (1 cover) is finishing layout as I type this, and will be headed to the printer shortly. Digital Downloads will be made available on BackerKit and DriveThruRPG this weekend.
The poster maps have been ordered, the dice are already here and the magic item inserts are being inserted.
Stay tuned for shipping dates.
While I've got you here, please take a moment to check out our next book in the Heroic Adventure! line, part of the Castle Whiterock Cross-Collaboration: The Carnivorous Cauldron. This will be available in both DCC RPG and 5e versions.
Thanks,
Chris
Project Update: Fulfillment Update
We had some delays, but things are back on track. All manuscripts have been submitted, reviewed, accepted and sent to layout.
All art for the Murderworm and Wormfather books is complete, with the exception of a handful of pieces I ordered for the stretch goal content (Scenic Sawtooth). It'll be worth the wait though. Bob turned in a pretty big chunk of world lore which will add a lot to the Heroic Adventure! setting. I should have those last few pieces by the end of the week.
All the maps are done as well.
The Murderworm minis are already in house (and have been for a while).
Same for the Slitherbane dice.
I hope to get the books to the printer in the next couple weeks. Once that happens, I should have them back a couple weeks later, and then it's fulfillment time.
We're going to be participating in the Castle Whiterock collaboration next year, so I'll send a link to our teaser page as soon as it's up.
We also have issue #4 of our Explore Dungeons Zine in the works which is mostly system neutral content, but will feature some DCC specific content as well. More on that soon.
Thanks!
Chris
