What is a Dungeon Cat

My wonderful fresh bride Becky challenged me to create a game that could be played under an hour, at a brewery, be an introduction to TTRPG's, and would fit in a vending machine. Why? Well, at the time she was considering a creative vending machine business. The idea was for the vending machine to have art, jewelry, sundries, and... you guessed it, GAMES! Well, the vending machine project didn't end up happening, but... I did finish the challenge, and the result was DUNGEON CATS!




Delve into lush carpeted dungeons and seek to vanquish giant rats, demonic dog spawn and the half full food bowl. Fight with claws, purrs and amazing advanced reflexes for the treasures contained within. Should you push forward? The answer is always yes. Forward to adventure! Forward to unknown treasure!

Unless you only have a few lives left. If that happens let's all just go home and take a nap.

Dungeon Cats is a rules light fluffy tabletop roleplaying game for 3-6 players. You will pretend to be cats, and explore dungeons fighting vile creatures to gain treasure! Dungeon Cats can be played in under an hour and is intended to be a casual introduction to the TTRPG hobby.

WAIT! MORE DUNGEON STUFF!!!!

Yes.

More.

I've been making postcard sized system agnostic adventures for a while now over on Patreon. Here's a bunch of them. These are a fun way to bring a bite sized bit of adventure to a convention or party. Each one has some kinda fun quirk, and just enough rooms and challenges for a short game with a few friends. Or, hell. Try to run them solo if you feel the call.

The super deluxe Tiger Lord of the 9 Realms tier includes all of these sweet adventure cards. You can also pick and choose them all as add-ons. Each postcard is 5x7'' and full color.
  • Crabula - crabula feeds on innocent blood. Crabula steals the treasure of the surface dwellers. Crabula is a crab vampire, and must be killed.
  • Temple of the Pale Elephant - The riches of the Pale Elephant are vast. Come collect them if you can.
  • Slime Skull Castle - Ruler of the Slime Skull Castle, Dorhak the cruel, weilds the Slime Skull Staff.
  • Verm Dolon - The miniature master of disguise, Verm Dolon, has stolen an alabastron containing the unguent of massive growth. 
  • Creepuscular Caverns - The Majik Bloodcarrot is hidden deep in the caves and protected fiercely by NosFurryatu.
  • Creature from the Mud - The brickmaker's clay pit has become angry and swallowed the masons.
  • Goat Dagger - Deep in the bone swamps, there is a goat, and that goat is also a dagger.

You can get these delivered to your virtual mailbox, or the outside physical mailbox by following me on Patreon. I make a new one every month-ish.

Cats & Raccoons

I've got a game about cats. Wet ink has a game about Raccoons. We're doing a cross over baby!


What will the print be?

In collaboration with Sam Brieck -art maestro for Garbage & Glory- We'll create a unique art piece that combines both Cats & Raccoons into one impossible dungeon. Art and game design elements currently in progress.

Back both projects to get this thing!

Full Color 5x7'' double sided print (Art on one side, game details on the other side)

Garbage & Glory is an all-ages, comedic tabletop role-playing game from Wet Ink Games where players take on the roles of resourceful raccoons (trash pandas) scavenging for treasure. Players will rummage through garbage, craft makeshift weapons, and seek to... well, it is in the title... gain glory!

Shipping

Shipping will happen as soon as the Art Prints are made for the Cross-Collab. The rest of this project is ready to go, and everything should all ship by November 2026.

Shipping will be collected later, but don't worry! It won't be crazy expensive! Everything I'm offering is small, and fits nicely in an envelope. I don't do a lot of extra packaging or stuff that adds weight.

ENNIES EMPORIUM 2026



The ENNIE Awards (the “ENNIES”) are an annual, fan-driven celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying games. Dedicated to recognizing outstanding achievement, the ENNIES honor the designers, writers, artists, and publishers whose creativity and passion shape the hobby. As a true people’s choice award, final winners are determined by online votes from the global gaming community.

This year, in collaboration with BackerKit, nominees from 2025 are coming together to further celebrate all the amazing games and products that were part of the ENNIES last year by launching ready-to-ship projects featuring their dominated game/product.

MORE ABOUT THE ENNIES

Founded in 2001, the ENNIES began as an online awards program hosted by EN World, the leading D&D/d20 system fan site, in partnership with Eric Noah’s Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News. Originally owned by Russ Morrissey until 2019, the awards have grown alongside the hobby itself. What started as an internet-based recognition program has evolved into a prestigious annual awards ceremony held at Gen Con.

Over the years, the ENNIES have expanded beyond their d20 roots to celebrate excellence across the full spectrum of tabletop roleplaying games. With categories recognizing everything from core game components to beloved product types, fan-driven websites, and more, the ENNIES provide fans with a meaningful way to acknowledge exceptional work—and to say “thank you”—to the creators who make tabletop roleplaying games extraordinary.

Let’s celebrate these amazing creators one more time, and who knows, you may discover your new favorite game within.

⭐️ UPDATE: Check out this year's new 2026 nominees now, and cast your vote starting Friday, July 10th!
