See Shadow Crawler Carnage Played LIVE!

Tuesday December 2nd at 7:30PM EST join us for a LIVE play event featuring Shadow Crawler Carnage on the Tabletop Bob YouTube channel! With our special guest player Than Gibson, co-creator of Darkspace RPG! Tabletop Bob and several of his regular cast and crew will be playing shadow crawlers along side of Than. Join in the fun, as the audience will be able to influence the difficulty of the Shadow Crawl! 

Kickstarting Tomorrow! (Friends of Crawl Club!)

Collision Course launches tomorrow, December 1st at 10:00 AM EST.

Out beyond the safe lanes, an old colony ship The Silhouette still cuts through the dark and it's current trajectory has Harbor Nine in it's path. Harbor Nine is a rust-bitten scavenger / mining / refueling outpost carved into an asteroid. It’s a reminder that nothing in the black lasts forever… except the stories we leave behind.

The first 50 backers will receive a limited-edition “Silhouette Sticker.”

A tribute to the ship that never stopped running, and the outpost that refuses to die.

Prep your ship, charge your energy cells.

When the doors cycle open tomorrow, be ready to board. Back it HERE!

Thanks again for supporting SCC, and have an awesome week!

Second Stretch Goal Achieved! New Spoiler! Fame Dice!
6 months ago – Thu, Nov 27, 2025 at 09:35:31 AM

Thanks everybody! We have unlocked Zac Goins' Adventure!

We hit our $6,000 stretch goal and we are on our way to the $7,000 mark where we will be adding Michael Putlack's adventure to the Maximum Monster Mayhem zine.

Expect new spoiler content in future updates with details on each of the Legendary writers' adventures. These are in development now, and we can't wait to show them off to you.

Thank you again for your support. And here's a new spoiler for everyone for Thanksgiving!

How Do Fame Dice Work?

Here's a full page spread from Shadow Crawler Carnage detailing the functionality of fame dice! Fame dice are a new mechanic that gives your shadow crawler the ability to tap into a new resource. The millions of fans watching their adventures inside of the Shadow Crawl.

This (still in editing and playtesting) page shows how fame dice will work in your games of Shadow Crawler Carnage. Being that every game of SCC starts with a single luck token, and your crawler will have the ability to earn up to 3 luck tokens at any given time. Fame dice are a new and fun way to effectively use your luck tokens to improve your odds of success.

Not only that, any time your fame die rolls a 4+ during a check. If your check was used in an attack, spell, triad power, or action that would deal damage to an enemy, you get to deal that damage rolling with advantage!

This can be a great way to swing the odds in your favor if you need to ensure your attacks land, or your spell/triad power eviscerates your enemy.

But be careful. Because fame dice can always backfire. If you include a fame die in a check that disarms a trap, checks your constitution against poison, or negates an ability that would deal damage to you, the fame die value is added to the damage dealt by incoming threats.

This mechanic is still in development and changes may occur at any time. But. For now, this version of the mechanic has been working well for everyone helping us to playtest Shadow Crawler Carnage.

What do you think about this new addition to Darkspace RPG mechanics for Shadow Crawler Carnage? We'd love to hear from you, and can't wait to spoil more about SCC in the coming weeks. Including some of the new Archetypes! Perhaps our next update will include the Citizen and Pet Archetypes! Detailing new rules for playing an average Joe/Jane or your favorite family fur-ball. (I'm quite partial to the goldfish, but the Velociraptor seems fun too!)

Until next time Crawl Club! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
-Bill Harvat and the Crawl Club Publishing Crew
