Welcome Back to the Table! This week, Tori, Arcadia, and Malcolm dive into the phenomenon that is Dungeon Crawler Carl. From its explosive rise in popularity to its growing influence on today’s gaming community, we explore what makes this story resonate so damn well with people who love games, characters, chaos, and a good crawl through a very bad day.

We take a look at Dungeon Crawler Carl’s place in the broader TTRPG community, the ways its success reflects where modern gamers are headed, and why the series has become much more than just another LitRPG hit. What happens when a wildly entertaining story starts feeding back into the hobby that inspired it? Pull up a chair and find out why so many people are ready to enter the Dungeon.

Welcome back to the table! Tori hosts Malcolm and Arcadia at the table to talk about how crowdfunding has changed the world of indie TTRPGs. Platforms like Kickstarter and BackerKit have helped creators turn ideas into actual games, lowering some of the traditional barriers between a designer and the people who might want to play their work. But as crowdfunding has grown, so have the campaigns and the companies using them. Has crowdfunding created more opportunities for independent creators, or has getting noticed simply become the new gatekeeper? The table digs into how the model has changed, why established publishers use crowdfunding alongside first-time designers, and whether backing a game creates a more invested community.

Welcome Back to the Table! Dr. Christina Stiso, creator of Leviathan Rising, joins Malcolm and Arcadia on Finding Atoria for a dive into a TTRPG where giant monsters are only the beginning of the problem. Christina shares the origins of the game, why players choose whether they succeed—and then discover what that success costs—how the Geiger Counter drives the table toward Crisis, and why understanding what a kaiju wants may matter more than fighting it. We talk monsters, mayhem, the world of LEVIATHAN, what’s coming with the full game, and put Christina through a little rapid-fire kaiju survival test. If you love TTRPGs, disaster movies, impossible choices, and really, really big monsters, this is one to catch.
