This week on Dave’s First Crawl, we’re covering Chapters 23, 24, and 25 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook—DCC Book 3.

Katia accidentally kills the #2 crawler in the dungeon, jumps 13 levels, and ends up with a ridiculously overpowered crossbow. Sometimes the AI System just says, "Congratulations, you've got main character energy now."

Turns out Hekla's assassination plot was even bolder than we thought. Carl pieces together the entire scheme, Silfa realizes she was just a pawn, Eva makes an escape, and Brynhild's Daughters completely implode.

And because Carl apparently hasn't learned his lesson, he decides the only reasonable plan from here is to save every stranded crawler on the floor. Can he actually save them all?

Plus, lots of shout-outs to our Redditors. Come talk some more shit to us on....r/DavesFirstCrawl.

This week on Dave’s First Crawl, we’re covering Chapters 20, 21, and 22 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook—DCC Book 3.

Frank Q finally gets his revenge by giving Carl… a ring. Very romantic. Very normal. Definitely nothing ominous about that.

We also finally meet Hekla, who is supposed to be one of the good guys. Turns out, she sucks. Surprise!

Meanwhile, Katia transforms into a goddamn cowcatcher and helps the crew turn an army of mobs into dungeon roadkill. Blood, guts, body parts—just a completely reasonable amount of carnage.

And as if Katia hasn’t been through enough, someone nearly has her assassinated.

By who?

Come argue about it with us at r/DavesFirstCrawl.

The Royal Court of Princess Donut encounter a ghoul infestation as they get closer to solving the Iron Tangle. We meet the homie Widget who in turn meets his untimely doom. Madison explains the mechanics behind the Iron Tangle's Cruelty: HR imposed overtime.

Katia questions Donut's motivations, loyalties are beginning to be tested, and Frank Q returns with a gift wrapped in vengeance for Carl.

We survived the 3rd floor—barely. Join Dave and Emi (Eric) as we finish Dungeon Crawler Carl: Book 2 – Carl’s Doomsday Scenario, dig into the bonus content from Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret, and unpack Odette’s behind-the-scenes revelations. Celestial boxes are on the table… or maybe not. It’s chaotic. It’s spoilery. Hit play.
