Project Update: What's In There? An RPG Starter Box Breakdown
Helloooooo Crawlers!
Today’s update is one you’ve all been asking for and I'm so excited because I get to engage in the Earth tradition of an unboxing! What am I unboxing? The Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG Starter Set!
Crawler Stats
But before we do that let's review our numbers and-
Hey guys I just checked and there's more people in this campaign than there were in the town I lived in while I was a guppy. That's INCREDIBLE!
I like you guys waaayy better than my hometown though.
Anyway! We're at 31,686 crawlers and $7,467,036 dollars! We're getting closer and closer to that new Mordecai mini 👀
Stretch Goals
We have one pre-gen vote poll we need to get rolling so that's attached to this post too. Very interested in seeing how the numbers fall for this one.
Okay enough holding everyone in suspense, it's time to ask—
What's Inside the CarlRPG Starter Set Box?
First, let me try and set the tone for you… I can kinda sound like the Dungeon AI!
Ahem
This starter set is 6 LBS! You heard of any other starter sets that weigh as much as your grandma's shaky little monster dog?

This box has a 300-page book broken down into 5 bite-sized booklets so everyone at your table can share and dig into Floors 1 & 2!
- Book 1 - Rules for Survival (52 pages) walks you through what an RPG is and the basics of play. This includes how dice, stats, skills, combat, and other core mechanics work. This will give new roleplayers all the info they need to hop into baby’s first RPG!
- Book 2 - Characters & Customization (44 pages) covers how to make a character from scratch, assigning skills, and how to advance your crawler and level up as you move through the dungeon. Inside, you’ll find details on creating your own skills and how to customize your character to be exactly as you please. This includes their life path (choosing starting skills from your childhood, adolescence, career, and hobbies), and further customizing your character's roleplay and history with Past Trauma, Loose Ends, and Regrets that your crawlers carry with them into the dungeon
- Book 3 - Game Master’s Campaign Toolkit (148 pages) houses all the info on starting a campaign, how to guide players through the first two floors of the dungeon, and details on mobs, bosses, and threats. This book is a biggie, so it has a fancy squarebound finish!
- Book 4 - Atlas: Tutorial Floors (32 pages) goes into detail about the first and second floors. This is where you’ll find information about the crawler interface & inventory, locations and quests, popularity, the System AI, achievements & loot boxes, and your favorite notable crawlers.
- Book 5 - Par for the Course (24 pages) is an introductory scenario where players take on the roles of Carl, Donut, Brandon, Chris, Yolanda, or Imani as they rush to lead the elderly residents of team Meadow Lark to safety on the Second Floor of the dungeon.
- 12 Pre-Generated Character Sheets contain all the characters for the Par for the Course adventure. There are six different characters with sheets for each character at their first and second floor levels. Take a first look at Yolanda’s second-floor sheet, and if you haven’t already, check out Carl and Donut’s first-floor sheets here.
- 12 Blank Character Sheets for creating your own crawler!
- 1 Sheet of High-Quality Punchboard containing 41 Double-Sided Tokens! These are black core paper tokens (for the normal people who aren’t paper material nerds, it means they’re gonna be real nice) featuring mobs, allies/playable characters, actions, and points of interest.
- 5 Double-Sided Map Posters are included in this set. These 16" x 20" maps depict 10 battle locations, from a creepy-ass altar to the supermarket!
- 1 Boring Ol’ Dice Set (d2, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, 2xd20)
- Not fancy, but they’ll get the job done! And you won't be calling them boring when you get an EXCELLENT roll and kill the boss, will you?
Thanks for coming to my unboxing! I hope you guys love all the stuff in the box!
