BackerKit creators continue to raise the bar and break records along the way. The latest to prove it: Renegade Game Studios' Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG + Unstoppable.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG + Unstoppable campaign brought Matt Dinniman's bestselling book series to the tabletop in a big way: two games, one campaign, one very loud community of Crawlers.

What followed was nothing short of legendary:

💰 $13.2M+ raised from 55K+ backers

📈 15x their previous campaign record

🏆 #1 Most Funded RPG on BackerKit

🏆 #2 Most Funded Project on BackerKit

🌐 #1 followed and #1 reserved TTRPG campaign ever

Jordan Gaeta, Senior Marketing Manager at Renegade Games:

"BackerKit's best-in-class community engagement tools were instrumental to the success of our Dungeon Crawler Carl campaign. From trivia and polls to the community engagement leaderboard, the platform gave us authentic ways to keep fans engaged and build momentum throughout the campaign and create deeper, more meaningful connections with fans that sustain long after a campaign has ended."

This is the new normal on BackerKit: bigger launches, bolder creators, and communities that show up like never before. Creators are breaking their own records here every day, and we'd love to help you break yours.
