FAQ
What is a soundboard?: A soundboard for tabletop roleplaying games is an online tool that lets you play sound effects, music, and character voice clips during a game to enhance immersion. With a single click, you can trigger things like monster roars, ambient dungeon noise, or NPC dialogue to bring scenes to life.
How do I get access to these rewards?: As long as you’ve backed the campaign, you’re all set! We will issue redemption keys via the pledge manager when each item releases.
When will these be available?: Jeff’s team at Soundbooth Theater is working on these, and the current release timing they’re anticipating is Summer 2027 for the Core Rulebook read and Soundboard, and Fall 2026 for the Archie short story read.
What if I can’t back the campaign?: The Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG Core Rulebook audio read and soundboard will both be available for purchase on Soundbooth Theater website when it becomes available next year. However, the Archie short story read is 100% campaign exclusive and will only be available to those who backed the campaign.
