DC20 Beta 0.9.5 RELEASE
about 1 year 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
about 1 year 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.

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!
DC20 - March 25 Update: 0.9 Release Date
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Mar 05, 2025 at 02:42:34 PM
0.9 Release Date
Its official! DC20 Beta 0.9 Core Rules will be released on March 17th at 11:00am CST
How to get the 0.9 Beta (on March 17th)
I’ll be sending out the updated PDF through DriveThruRPG. This should happen automatically, as soon as I hit the send button. If you have already received the 0.8 Core Rules, then you will be 100% fine. If you have not gotten the 0.8 Core Rules PDF yet, please reach out to "[email protected]" and we will verify that you were a Backer and get you taken care of.
I wanted to take a second to explain the BIG 2 reasons why 0.9 took MUCH longer than originally anticipated. 1. We added Paragon Subclasses. Once we laid out the 26 Subclasses for 0.9... we realized that a more "classic" fantasy of each class was not an option since we went in such fun and creative directions with the subclasses. So it was clear to me that we HAD TO ass Paragon Subclasses to ALL Classes, and give TWO options for each... which added another 26 Subclasses onto the already 26 we made. This DOUBLED the work that went into it, but I think we are in a GREAT spot now for yall. 2. We had to START OVER on the format and digital format of the PDF. We did not simply just update the 0.8 PDF into the 0.9 PDF, we started from scratch. This was something that we wanted to do sooner rather than later, so that we can "future proof" the PDF. 0.8 was stitched together and a MESS on the back end, but NOW we have a truly professional system going forward and it will be MUCH easier to update and make changes to.
Overall I also wanted to say that DC20 will NOT be rushed out the door so that I can get onto the next DC20 Kickstarter and the next and the next... I want to pour EVERYTHING I can into this one and dedicate 100% focus to it. It will be ready when it is 100% ready and I dont want to rush its development... which would just result in a worse/ less fun/ more broken game. Thank you to so many of you who have been understanding on this and trust me... just wait till you see these Subclasses and see what 0.9.5 has in store! O... speaking of the next update...
DC20 Beta 0.9.5 Update
We have plans to release another update in the near future for some quality of life improvements that we wanted to lay the ground work for before we took on the BIG undertaking of SPELLS (which is the 0.10 update). We did not want to delay 0.9 any further, so about 3-4 Months after 0.9 releases, expect to see 0.9.5.

DC20 - Feb 25 Update: Subclasses COMPLETE
over 1 year ago
– Sat, Feb 01, 2025 at 08:53:17 AM
HUGE update for y’all! All 52 subclass options for 0.9 have been completed! This is a huge accomplishment and we are so excited to show you how awesome every single one of these are, and can’t wait for you to play them! We’re in the final stages of layout and editing, and 0.9 will be released in just a matter of weeks now!
Below is the list of every subclass and the final picture of every single one of them being completed.
How to get the 0.9 Beta
I’ll be sending out updates on DriveThruRPG. This should happen automatically, as soon as I hit the send button. I’ll upload the new file onto dropbox and it will automatically send out an update to everyone who has already received the 0.9 Core Rules. So if you have already received the 0.8 rules through DriveThruRPG, you should be good to go and will receive an email that it has been sent to you! I’ll be making a post on Discord as well.
This is a video that I made for anyone who didn't know what Paragon Subclasses were. These were the new addition to 0.9 (and the reason why it took longer to finish) but this fully explains how they work!
Future of DC20 Beta 0.9.5
We have plans to release another update in the near future for some quality of life improvements that we wanted to lay the ground work for before we took on the BIG undertaking of SPELLS (which is the 0.10 update). We did not want to delay 0.9 any further, so I will keep you posted in the next March Update on what will be IN this 0.9.5 update!!
