Dungeon Dudes 2024 Year-in-Review

Hello Patrons!

As we wrap up an unforgettable 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible milestones and achievements this year. It’s been a journey full of growth, creativity, and, of course, plenty of dice rolls. Here’s a recap of some of the biggest moments that made 2024 so special!

Kickstarter Success: Monsters of Drakkenheim

This year, we launched our third Kickstarter: Monsters of Drakkenheim: Pluto Jackson’s Monster Slaying Guide, and it was a huge success! Thanks to the support of over 8,000 backers and $1 million raised, we exceeded all expectations. This compendium features 150+ monsters of eldritch horror and dark fantasy, perfect for any adventurer. Monsters of Drakkenheim​ will be available to backers digitally in mid-2025, and we currently estimate physical shipping will begin in the fall. If you missed the campaign, don’t worry—you can still check it out [here].

Dungeons of Drakkenheim on D&D Beyond

While technically launched in late 2023, Dungeons of Drakkenheim continues to grow in 2024 with a new wave of fans joining the community through D&D Beyond, Roll20, Foundry, and Ghostfire Gaming. It’s been amazing hearing your stories and seeing how the campaign has inspired so many of you. If you haven’t already, head over to D&D Beyond to explore the content!

Conventions and Meet-Ups: Adventuring in 2024

This year, we had the opportunity to meet so many of you in person at:

• Gary Con

• Gen Con

• Game Hole Con

• PAX Unplugged

We ran panels, hosted meet-and-greets, and signed our first copies of Sebastian Crowe’s Guide to Drakkenheim. We loved connecting with all of you and can’t wait for more conventions in the future!

New D&D Rules, New Class Guides

With the release of the 2024 D&D rules, we’ve been diving into the changes and revamped our Class Guides and Tier Ranking videos, which you’ve loved! If you haven’t seen them yet, be sure to check them out—they’re packed with insights to help you level up your gameplay.

Fate of Drakkenheim Hits 100 Episodes

Our live-stream series, Fate of Drakkenheim, just hit 100 episodes! It’s been an incredible journey, and while we’re nearing the end, we’re crafting an unforgettable finale for our community. If you’re not caught up yet, you can check out the full playlist.
