Crawl! Deathmatch! Deck no. 1: Coming Soon!

The printed deck and Print & Play version coming soon. Stay tuned!

Crawl! no. 13: Deathmatch! Bonus: Mindless State and Danger Die reference cards

Another set of cards I realized would be handy would be the condition cards for MINDLESS STATE. So I made them, and now they're included with Crawl! no. 13 as a PRINT & PLAY pages of these cards and their backs.

DIRECTIONS: Print out the card sheet at 100% (no scaling). Cut them out evenly. Printing the backs is optional, especially if you're going to put them into sleeves --- standard TCG sleeves (MTG, etc.) should work if you print the cards at 100%. They should end up similar to these (my printer is a bit rough, and the final design has changed slightly to be easier to read):

Give each player one of these cards, have them place a d4 (or their HD?!) on their cards to indicate what state their PC's mind is during the DEATHMATCH!

A bonus DANGER DIE card is also included as a handy reference for the judge.

This is AVAILABLE NOW to download if you own Crawl! no. 13!

The new FULL COLOR designs will be available as PRINT & PLAY and as a printed DECK soon!

New 2024 Update to Crawl! no.1! INCOMING!

Update: Updated Aether Editions now available for download over at Gumroad and DriveThruRPG.

A minor update to the FIRST ISSUE of the ORIGINAL ZINE compatible with DCC RPG is coming. The AETHER EDITION is available RIGHT NOW for FREE (PWYW) over at Itch.Io (link)! This update will eventually make its way to DriveThruRPG, Gumroad, and other sites. The only significant change is the cover: 

You may be wondering what this AETHER EDITION is, well it's just calling the "digital (PDF) editions" something less TECHNO than "digital" and using something more ARCANE and ANCIENT. The print edition won't be called this, it will be simply called the CLASSIC EDITION for it being a classic zine. There are otherwise no major updates or changes. Just a few things cleaned up, and some things updated to current DCC RPG standards. 

I'll be slowly updating every issue in the same way. Some issues will have some major updates or be expanded in some way, but nothing drastic. All online stores will get these updates FREE, new printings of the classic zines will also incorporate whatever changes. 

Crawl! Deathmatch! (Intro) by Loot the Body : (and other updates)

Crawl! no.13: Deathmatch! has an official soundtrack!

Loot the Body has created a track for the latest issue of Crawl! Eyeball emoji!

I asked for, "...a 10-minute ambient loop that starts with heavy doom industrial metal riffs, then bleeds into tense, creepy, and chilling ambient droning?" (Yes, just like the Quake Intro by Nine Inch Nails.) 

A few days later, I got this:

How to use: In the deathmatch realm this track is exactly 10-minutes long, actual local time may vary due to time dilation and space fluctuations. Use this track when on a run, or as a timer --- get hyped the first two minutes, and then focus and zone for the final eight. When used during a DEATHMATCH! put the track on loop, and when the metal riffs begin again, bump everyone's Mindless State UP ONE towards Hate! and let the carnage commence.

In other news:

I've been working on the Deathmatch! cards again. I have a 72-card deck designed. It contains a full load of weapon cards (enough for 6 PCs), various cards to represent minor power-ups and each of the major artifacts (pentagram, biosuit, etc.). In addition, the deck includes random traps and hazards (as described in no.13). This effectively makes a deck of random traps, hazards, and magic items to stock any dungeon map. I go into more details over here. They're very cool (i think). Here's a teaser of the new, updated, design: 

I have a lot of other news and updates, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Be seeing you,

Backwards Friday Creator Day 2023! Save -100% This FRIDAY

Friday Nov 24th 2023

I'm broke, need to pay bills, and to be straight up honest...

I'm not the biggest fan of Black Friday. I personally can't take advantage of the "fun" sales. In fact I usually boycott Black Friday, and support a little counter event called Buy Nothing Day. Here's a fun video. It has little to do with Buy Nothing Day, but still a good song. 

So this year, over at Itch*, I'm gonna do the opposite and hold a reverse sale. Let's mark up all the prices by 100%! Save negative 100% and pay double instead! 

One day only. FRIDAY NOV 24th, 2023! 

https://straycouches.itch.io/

It's also Creators Day at Itch, so Itch doesn't take a cut of any sales. Which is really cool of them. 

Especially on Black Friday. 

Crazy. 

Support small press, developers, and other creators. 

Hugs and Kicks,

Rev. Dak

ps. I also set up a GOAL of $2023. Do you think you can help do it? I also realize I need to pay for car registration, insurance, an oil change, and smog by the end of the month. Ugh.

*I really like Itch. The RPG community over there is pretty cool, and the site works well, and if you don't have my zines over there, this is your chance to change that and support a weirdo like me.
