Renegade Game Studios has partnered with Matt Dinniman to bring a full-scale Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG to hobby retail, the company announced.
Dungeon Crawler Carl is an incredibly popular LitRPG series published by Ace Books (see "Ebook Publisher"). Renegade will develop an RPG based on the LitRPG series, which will allow players to dive headlong into the hilariously brutal world of Carl. These dungeons will be filled with deadly traps, absurd loot, and relentless entertainment based entirely on Matt Dinniman's lore.
“Dungeon Crawler Carl is an incredibly imaginative and compelling universe, and we’re excited to bring it to tabletop gaming,” said Scott Gaeta, President and Publisher at Renegade Game Studios. “Matt Dinniman has created a unique world filled with action, humor, and heart; everything we look for in a setting that can support rich, engaging gameplay.”
Renegade is also looking to develop additional titles based on this IP, including board and deck-building games. More information about these games will be arriving in the coming months; the RPG is expected to come out in 2026.
