DC20 - June 25 Update: Checks & Spell Focus
10 months ago
– Mon, Jun 02, 2025 at 07:13:50 AM
It’s absolutely insane that’s been a year since the Kickstarter! The game has come so far and grown so much! DC20 has changed a lot since then, and it is the support from you all that allow me to not rush this game through development, and truly be able to make it the best it possibly can be! We just made some big changes to things like Defense in the last update, and the reception from you all has been amazing.
Upcoming Changes
You can find sneak peeks for coming changes in this livestream video:
I talk about big changes coming in 0.10 that will further increase the quality of the game (7:57 timestamp):
Multiple Check Penalty changes to better account for different types of Attacks (Martial and Spellcasters)
New Spell Focus system that will mirror the weapon property system, where you can make your own Spell Focus
We are also finished with the Spell Templates and can now move into actually brainstorming the design space for the huge possibilities that Spells will have.
Upcoming Monster Update
We have spent some time updating ALL the monsters in the Monster Starter Pack and "The Hunted" One Shot Adventure as well! There will be an updated PDF sent out to reflect the changes in 0.9.5 some time this month!
You guys are amazing, thank you so much for being part of this journey!
DC20 - May 25 Update: Spells & Technique Development
11 months ago
– Thu, May 01, 2025 at 08:54:18 AM
We’ve got another simple update this month! We just released 0.9.5 and are excited to start working on Spells! We’re planning on releasing over 100 Spells in the next update! We’re focusing first on the elemental spells, to get the damage tuning right and balanced them compared to martials, then after that we’re gonna focus on the healing spells, and once all of that is tuned in we’ll be able to open up into the more utility and more “fancy” type of spells (teleportation, illusion, mind control, terraforming, etc.). We will also be adding new Techniques to this next update to further expand what Martials Classes can do with their Stamina.
Other PDF Updates & Releases
Now with the release of 0.9.5, we are spending some time on updating the Monster Starter Pack and The Hunted One-Shot Adventure to make the monsters compatible with current rules. We are also starting to work on the Beta releases of the other PDFs on the Kickstarter now as well (Monsters, Magic Items, One Shots, Advanced Gameplay Guide, and more).
So expect to see updates on those resources in the next month or so!
DC20 Content on Patreon
If you guys are really loving DC20 and want to help by giving more feedback and support to REALLY make this game as BIG and as awesome as it can be, think about joining Patreon! All Patrons get early access to playtest material so that we can get even more feedback before it makes it into any of our official releases. As an example, this month’s release on Patreon is a bunch of shadow options for players to test out, including the Shadowborn Ancestry, Shadow Talents, and a Shadow Sorcerer Subclass.
You guys are amazing, and thank you so much for being part of this journey!
DC20 Beta 0.9.5 RELEASE
11 months ago
– Tue, Apr 22, 2025 at 01:40:04 PM
DC20 0.9.5 PDF is HERE!
This update is being released only 1 month after 0.9! We have been working on this update for much longer than that. 0.9 focused on Subclasses and 0.9.5 focuses on the core RULES, quality of life and mechanics changes.
Her is what I have to update you on: - DC20 0.9.5 PDF - DC20 Changelog
I have made a YouTube video going over ALL of this information. I show how it all works on the screen and talk about everything here as well
How to get the 0.9.5 PDF NOW
Kickstarter Backers: Check your DriveThruRPG account. The PDF should be there in the DC20 Section, check there first because it MIGHT say 0.8 or 0.9 still, but if you click on it the PDF will be 0.9.5. There was a naming issue on their server last time. If you already got the update from 0.8 -> 0.9, then this (and all future updates) will work the same way!
Anyone who has the DC20 Core Rules (either Kickstarter or Website purchase) will get all updates to DC20 Core Rules for FREE until the games FINAL release!
If nothing is working then you can reach out to "[email protected]" and we will verify everything and get you taken care of.
0.9.5 Changelog
This was something that was missing from 0.9 and I will be sending out an updated PDF soon, but until then I wanted to give everyone the FULL Changelog here. The main focus was Subclasses, but there were some big CLASS changes and some other small tweaks too:
0.9.5 will not be available on Foundry until they finish the update on their end. They have been AMAZING at keeping up with all the changes and I will make an update once they are up to date as well.
0.10 will NOT be only 1 month away like this update was (that's why it had a ".5" on the end of it lol). The next update is a TON of Spells and Techniques for DC20, this is the final HUGE task left for the games development and will take some time. I will keep yall posted of course along the way here in these Kickstarter Posts, and in Livestreams / Patreon too!
DC20 - April 25 Update: Rapid Progress + Spells
11 months ago
– Mon, Apr 07, 2025 at 03:59:03 PM
It’s a simple update this month! We just released 0.9 and love to see all of the excitement in the community with the first huge update since the Kickstarter. Things are really ramping up now and looking really good for the game’s development! We love hearing all the feedback over on discord and can’t wait to see what yall think about this next update!
DC20 0.9.5 Update
Speaking of the next update… DC20 0.9.5 should be releasing within a couple weeks from now! That’s no April Fools joke, the update has now moved over into editing already and is being laid out as we speak!
List of some of what rules and subjects are getting an update in 0.9.5:
Armor & Defenses
Rest Points
Grit Points
Stamina Recovery
Death’s Door
Initiative
Conditions
& More!
What are we working on now?
SPELLS! Spells are the main focus of the 0.10 update, and there will be a TON of Spells released with this update. In fact, over 50% of the Spells that’ll be in the game will be in this update. The team is focused heavily right now on Spells, as well as new ways to handle Rituals, balancing of Spells, and truly getting across the feel of Spells evolving as you pump more Mana into them.
We’re hard at work right now on Spells and they’re coming along great. Once 0.9.5 releases, stay tuned for more specific updates to come.

Once you have the Key to unlock DC20 on Foundry, Bailey also made a custom video to walkthrough exactly what to do to get it activated here:
Early Access DC20 Digital Character Creation Tool
It is finally ready to let people see and play around with! This is a passion project and a TEST RUN to see if us making our own personal Character Creation tool is something that we should invest time and energy into. This has been a big volunteer effort by a bunch of people coming together to make this happen. Big props to Crunch and Nik who led the development of this into something that is now usable. It is a 0.8 Character Creator but will continue to get updates as long as we see this as something that is viable to keep developing.
How to get Access
This was an Early Backer reward and as such is ONLY available for Early Backers who backed in the first 72 hours. The easiest way to know if you were an Early Backer is to check your Backer Number for DC20, if it is 9543 or lower, then you ARE an Early Backer.
If you do not know if you are an Early Backer or not, then go to your Digital Downloads as well (shown in the video above) and you should have an download there as well that links to the Notion Page.
This Notion Page HERE has ALL the information you will ever need on this App and its development into the future. You can access all links in that notion page to log in and confirm you are an Early Backer.
If you have any questions or feedback about the app, please direct them all to THIS DC20 APP Discord. Nik will take care of everything and he has done an amazing job organizing this to even make this possible.
DC20 Future Updates
Now that we have updated the PDF on the back end AND established a full team with development and publishing systems, we will be able to streamline the Update process to not have as much time between updates. 0.9's biggest issue was the 52 Subclasses that were made 100% from scratch, the only design hurdle that is anywhere near that large will be creating all the spells for DC20 (mainly in 0.10 update). Here is some info on future updates:
DC20 0.9.5: HUGE rules and mechanics update that has a TON of amazing changes that were being worked on during 0.9... but we just didn't want to delay 0.9 any further. This update should be released around May/June (2 months from now)
DC20 0.10: Spells Spells Spells... and Techniques! This will be a BIG one, so I estimate that it will take about 5 months or so to complete. I will have a better estimate for you in about 2 months once we finish the design templates / framework for Spells in general. The spellcasting system will be VERY balanced across the board and we will also be releasing new Techniques along side this huge spellcasting update.
DC20 0.11 +: There will be other updates that release class features, ancestries, subclass features for the higher levels of the game, prestige updates, GM rules, other PDF's, Adventures, Monsters, etc etc. All of those will REALLY be able to be ramped up and released once the Spells are done
Final Version of DC20: This is hard to put a time estimate on, but I would definitly say we are into mid / late 2026 on the release of the HARDCOVER book. The PDF will of course be far closer to finished before then and I want yall to be able to play it and give feedback before I press the PRINT button! But honestly I want this game to be the BEST that it can possibly be, I will NOT rush this out just to be able to release another KS and try and crank out book after book just to "jack up sales". DC20 is my baby and I want to make sure it is 100% ready before I call it done. I will of course keep everyone updated along the way.
Thank you all again for being with me on this journey!
