Becomes Most Funded Game in BackerKit History and One of the Largest Tabletop Crowdfunding Campaigns of All Time.

SAN DIEGO, CA — May 19, 2026 — Renegade Game Studios announced today that the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG + Unstoppable crowdfunding campaign officially concluded Monday night after nearly four days in BackerKit Overtime Mode, capping off one of the most successful tabletop game crowdfunding campaigns of all time.

Based on the bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman, the campaign featured both the Dungeon Crawler Carl Roleplaying Game and Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable, a standalone card game adaptation built using the acclaimed Unstoppable system by John D. Clair.

By the end of the campaign, the project had raised over $13.29 million from 55,972 backers, cementing its place among the most successful tabletop crowdfunding campaigns ever launched.

Over the course of the campaign, fans shattered crowdfunding records across the tabletop industry, including:

• #1 Most Funded Game Campaign in BackerKit History
• #2 Most Funded TTRPG Campaign of All Time Across Any Platform
• #3 Most Funded Tabletop Game Campaign of All Time Across Any Platform
• Most Followed Tabletop Game Campaign Ever Before Launch
• Over 55,000 Backers
• Over $4.57 Million Raised in the First 24 Hours
• $1 Million Funded in Just 19 Minutes

“We knew the Dungeon Crawler Carl community was passionate, but the scale of support throughout this campaign completely exceeded our expectations,” said Jordan Gaeta, Senior Marketing Manager at Renegade Game Studios. “Watching tens of thousands of Crawlers come together to celebrate these games, break records, and build such an energetic community around the project was something really special.”

The Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG introduces players to the deadly, absurd, and darkly comedic setting of the World Dungeon through an all-new tabletop roleplaying experience, while Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable adapts the franchise into a fast-paced standalone card game built on the Unstoppable engine.

Retail releases for both games are planned for late November 2026, with fulfillment for crowdfunding backers beginning in October.

Fans who missed the crowdfunding campaign can still pre-order the games and select accessories now through the Renegade Game Studios webstore.
