Go to DriveThru RPG and check your Library to download it!
We have outlined and made public what pieces of the game will be updated / added in what order. To be clear ALL of these things are in development and in their final stages already, these are not being started from scratch right now. Playtesting and development for things like the Exploration Pillar and Social Pillar have been in the works for YEARS already.
I also made a YouTube Video if you want to hear me break it down. Video Contains:

DC20 April 2026 Update: Adventure, Monsters, & Music

The Hunted & Monster Starter Pack Update, & More
This month, on April 15th, we’re going to be releasing TWO PDF Updates:
Hunted: In the update to this FREE Adventure, we rebalanced it to match 0.10.5 standards and overhauled the adventure to fit into our new adventure format. This format makes it easy to run and play with VERY little prep time beforehand, laying out the information in a way you can read on-the-fly! We also streamlined the plot points and flow to make it feel better too.
Monster Starter Pack: The updated Monster Starter Pack has been completely redone. We’ve changed how we laid out the information, updated the information to be easier to understand, and made much more clear balancing guidelines. Now, you can use the Monster Starter Pack to make monsters confidently! We also have a full 10 monsters inside using our new balancing standards to give you simple examples.
We also are working on the first version of the Monster Collection Kickstarter PDF, which will be releasing very soon! This PDF will have even more guidance for creating monsters, with more high-level ideas and specific guidance on making monster traits. Not only that, but the first version will also have a total of 30 monsters! As the game grows and more levels of the game are playable, we’re going to expand and update the Monster Collection and the Monster Starter Pack to reach the number of monsters in each promised during the Kickstarter.
0.10.5 Update
We’re putting the final touches on 0.10.5 right now and it should be releasing THIS month. This update will come with Levels 5 & 6, 30+ brand new Spells, and updates to many existing spells! We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on everything!
Your feedback for 0.10 helped shape the direction of 0.10.5, so we’ll be waiting to hear you again. The BEST place to give feedback right now is in the Public DC20 Discord.
Together we worked hard to provide a simple and efficient set of music that you could play for ANY session to set the right tone scene by scene when you play DC20 (or any TTRPGs)!
Kickstarter Backers: Don’t forget to use your code "DC20" on dscryb.com to get your 90-day trial! Non-KS Backers: You can use code "THEDUNGEONCOACH" for a free 30-day trial!
Response + Feedback on Development Timeline
There have been people asking questions on what exactly is taking so long on DC20's development, why is it not done by now, etc. So I made a response video that gives the best insights I can, and also asks for feedback from YOU all as well. I have always said since the Kickstarter Started that the development will take as long as it needs for the game to be truly "complete", but this video gives some more specific insights as to the "why" of it all. I hope this sheds some light on it and please leave comments in that video too!
DC20 March 2026 Update: Spells, Monsters, and Adventures!
8 months ago
– Mon, Mar 02, 2026 at 12:03:47 PM
0.10.5 Spell Feedback
The 0.10.5 Spells are currently being finalized, and we have listened to your feedback about them! The main feedback we’ve gotten is that people don’t want us to condense them too much and that they really liked the "Level 1" versions of Spells and don’t want us to get rid of that. We were never planning on doing too much on this, but we took another look at all the spells and I think everyone is gonna like where we’ve landed!
Monsters!
Next month we’re going to have a BIG PDF release of monsters for DC20. We are updating the Monster Starter Pack + the Monster Collection PDF. HUGE resource on how to make your own monsters from scratch or adjust ones already made, along with more monsters from levels 1 -6 as well! This will be the FIRST release of the PDF and there will be more updates in the future that add in the rest of the monsters from all the Kickstarter Stretch Goals.
Before the Monster Collection PDF, though, we’re releasing an update to the Monster Starter Pack! It has been completely overhauled and fits in line with DC20’s current balance standards. We’re just putting the finishing touches on it and are gonna have that out to you soon!
New Adventure
There is also an adventure in its final stages of publishing that will be released FOR FREE to ALL Kickstarter Backers... but that is all I can say on that right now. I have appreciated everyone's patience in the longer development cycles of DC20 and I wanted to say thank you by giving away an ENTIRE "3 Shot" adventure, fully published with art away to KS backers for FREE as a THANK YOU for sticking around for so long and being a part of this. I will talk more about it in future updates as the Adventure gets closer to release!
DC20 Feb 2026 Update: Level Increase for 0.10.5
9 months ago
– Fri, Jan 30, 2026 at 09:31:46 AM
Character Progression Update
Class Progression Table for all classes have changed and with that change (see table below) the level cap for DC20 will increase to LEVEL 6 now in the 0.10.5 Update! That's 50% MORE LEVELS!
You can see the table here and also there is a link to the livestream timestamp that jumps straight to me explaining the change
Along with adding new Spells (especially Summoning Spells), we’re also going to be streamlining and updating some of the 0.10 Spells too.
TLDR: Some spells will have their mana cost increased to be more iconic and easier to use and understand. We didn't want to go "too far" in customizing spells and some concerns are also the AMOUNT of spells that level 1 characters have to choose from (over 100) during character creation. Don't worry, this wont happen to a LOT of spells, but some spells like Disintegrate should not be available at too low of a level, so we are boosting some of them.
I talk about Spells in the livestreams, and you can find that here: https://youtu.be/jzx5fdcK3Xs?t=276 The Spells update is from 4:36 to 11:15.
Estimated 0.10.5 Release: March/ April
DC20 Jan 2026 Update: A Look into the New Year
10 months ago
– Thu, Jan 01, 2026 at 06:02:29 PM
I just sent out an update a few days ago announcing the release of the DC20 0.10 PDF but wanted to stay consistent and not miss a 1st of the month update. So... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here is a look into the future of what the next updates will hold:
0.10.5
More Spells (especially Summoning, Divination, and Enchantment)
Level 5 Update for all Classes
0.11
We’re calling this "The Great Rewordening".
We’re gonna be looking at the Core Rules as a whole and figure out what we want the structure of it to be. This will include reorganization of the information, rewording and cleaning up language to be consistent and easily understandable
Pass over the Ancestries to fully update them and include the updated versions of the 4 Kickstarter Stretch Goal Ancestries (Gremlin, Shadowborn, Terraborn, and Goblin).
0.12 & Beyond
Increasing the level cap up to max level
Social System
Exploration System (downtime)
Challenge System
and more!
More Content Coming
Now that 0.10 is out and released, myself and the team can focus on some of the other PDFs that we want to get in your hands as well. There will be an update to the Monster Starter Pack, and we’ll start to roll out the Monster Collection, One-Shot Collection, Magic Item Collection soon (with updates to them as we update and finish the game).
We also have another big project we’re working on to give to ALL Kickstarter backers, but I’ll talk about that in the next update!
New Spell List Tool for 0.10
Another update, another spreadsheet. Here is my Spell List Tool. This lets you both search for Spells based on certain criteria, look at default Class Spell Lists, but also Build your own custom Spell List:
