Kevin Schluter on Crafting the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG: More Than a D&D Clone

In a recent interview, designer Kevin Schluter delved into the adaptation of Matt Dinniman's popular Dungeon Crawler Carl series into a tabletop roleplaying game, emphasizing that it's far from a simple Dungeons & Dragons reskin. Schluter highlighted how the game captures the unique mechanics, irreverent humor, and narrative depth of the source material, offering fans a fresh experience tailored to the series' chaotic, dungeon-diving premise. The RPG will feature custom systems for character progression, loot, and absurd situations that reflect the books' tone, rather than relying on existing D&D rules.
