Dimday Red is a mid-apocalyptic tabletop role-playing game set in a bleak, socially fragmented world, where you can play as a mutant or a faction member, during the last 52 years of life on Earth. It expands on the Powered by the Apocalypse system with custom designed mechanics, meant to give the freedom to live your final days the way you choose!
Following an exhilarating year filled with loving support and valuable feedback from our community, Dimday Red is forging ahead, bigger and more mature, delving deeper into the darker realms of the Neu Bonn saga.

Hey guys,
As we are reaching the end of the campaign, I have received so much love and support for my baby project once more and the campaign was funded so many times over, I feel kind of humbled!
Maybe we'll reach the final stretch goals in the next couple of days. Or not! In any case, I really wanted to offer backers a special treat from the start, so I went and unlocked them anyway! Because I can! (the perks of running a one-man project!) And because you deserve it! And because I love you guys!
So, even if we don't reach the desired amount, both the Mobile Game and the Solo Mode will be available to all backers!
Because who cares about money when the world is about to burn 🔥🔥🔥!
Cheers, Spiros
The One update to rule them all!

Hey guys,
This is probably the coolest update in this campaign! It has excitement, it has suspense, it has intrigue, so get ready!
Here goes!
200 backers reached
This is the part I enjoy the most. It is so rewarding to see people support a project like Dimday Red! Most of you know by now what it means to me, so I feel a personal connection with each backer who honors me with their time and money! When the Netflix adaptation comes out, you will those to say, "I was there, 3000 years ago, when it was just starting!"
New stretch goal unlocked
A new stretch goal has been reached! Live Postcards from the Slum is the live version of the printed postcards you can get in this campaign. The Live Postcards will be available for all backers, physical and digital, in audio and video formats. Here's an idea of how they will look.
Final stretch goal revealed
This is the big one! The secret of the Hochburg sign has been revealed! The highest stretch goal for this campaign is something I have been working on for a while and I am really excited to share! The Dimday Red mobile game is a visual novel-style game that lets you choose how your story evolves.
It is going to launch later this year, and it will be free for all backers if we reach the Hochburg sign! I will be thrilled to get up there and offer this!
An Archaic God has appeared
The first backer to get the Archaic God reward is among us! They go by Darkponnyx, and they will have their chosen name and likeness inserted into the Nodus 02 adventure. They will also get all rewards dated and signed by me (that may not sound like much now, but it will mean something after that adaptation deal :)) Many thanks to Darkponnyx, I am looking forward to making them an eternal part of Dimday Red!
Was this a cool update or what :) I am really happy we got this far together, and as we enter the final 10 days of the campaign I am confident we're gonna end with a bang, or even better with a free mobile game! The best is coming, so stay tuned!
Cheers, Spiros

Here are some projects I believe are worth of your attention!
Figgleworth’s Fabulous Bits and Bobs is a unique magic shop perched atop a gargantuan beetle that specializes in spell scrolls, magic items, and trinkets from across the Feywild and Material Plane. Fans of our hit book Spectacular Shops & Services will recognize the format, with a few twists added.
With new magical trinkets, new spell scrolls, and a selection of magic items and spells from the Dungeon Master’s Guide and our previous books, Bilius Figgleworth has something in store for every adventurer!
Revisit a time when renting movies was a ritual and video stores ruled the strip malls of the world! All you need is the zine, a deck of cards, and something to journal with!
The Neon Jungle is a zine for Mutant Crawl Classics and other OSR-style systems. The zine provides judges with a location sandbox that can be used as a campaign setting or travel location, and provides players with ways to create characters from the Neon Jungle.

Hey all, tonight will be a fun night! I will have the pleasure to converse live with Bill from the Dungeon Delver!
Most of you will have an idea by now that Dimday Red is a passion project for me, so when I have the chance to talk about it I go all in :) Even more, it will be 03:00 here in Greece so God only knows what I am going to say half asleep... This is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
If you would like to hear stories of love and horror, joy and tears, or what it means to run a one-man-band-TTRPG-project, I invite you to join us tonight at 20:00 US Eastern time (UTC -5).
The Sewers and the Stars is a standalone zine expansion for The Hidden Isle, our recently funded tabletop role playing game. It offers two new settings, the city of Rome, and the island of Zanzibar, two new pre-written scenarios set in those locations, and two new character classes: the Swindler and the Scholar.
Aspiring Agents can look forward to conning Portuguese troops on the shores of Zanzibar, sensing the greed of corrupt Roman cardinals, giving rousing lectures or speeches, and demonstrating their encyclopedic knowledge of obscure facts.
A journaling RPG about pathos, arcana, and the infinite loneliness of power – plus an oracle deck for inspiration, by momatoes.
In this game, you use dice and pen to write the unique history of your character's quest for arcane mastery. You will navigate strange encounters and confront complex opportunities for learning spells—or cultivating tenuous bonds. Now powered by the Oracle, a 78-card deck filled with prompts and illustration to bring life to your writing.
The Catacombs of Candarlin is the second part of the Candarlin series, a gamebook trilogy that began last year with The Secrets of Candarlin. It is a stand-alone story that can be played for itself or as part of the series. The Catacombs of Candarlin stands within the tradition of gamebooks like Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy. The rules are intentionally kept simple so you can start playing quickly. All you need is two six-sided dice (2d6) and a pencil.
Over 1000% funded in a week! It feels good to set the world on fire!

As more people are drawn into the world of Neu Bonn, they help shape it, bring it to life. The more the Dimday Red project grows, the more work goes into it, and more details are added to its dark story.
The Hochburg Slum is one such example. It is the base setting for the first official DdR adventure but also a world within a world. Fifty-nine rooms, seven story lines, 27 tales, dozens of NPCs, and a couple of star-crossed lovers in the middle of it all, Thisbe and Pyramos.
For me, reaching the 1000% mark is not about making more money. It's about getting the chance to tell those stories, bring those people to life, see if love will conquer in the end.
Thank you for giving me this chance! I hope you are as excited to walk the corridors of Hochburg and meet these people as I am!

Here are some projects I believe are worth your time!
Dungeon Snap is a series of short adventures that can be played completely out of the box. Featuring pre-created characters for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, or any OSR system.
But even more, Dungeon Snap includes its own system which is super simple, just two pages of rules, and at the same time it's very familiar to the games you already know. And yes, each volume of Dungeon Snap also includes pre-made characters for this system as well.
Fantasy comic AND a 5e-compatible Adventure TTRPG!
See how Roegudok Hall and the Drakvyrez'Pei were founded in a full-color comic (26 pages of fantasy action) that dives deep into some of the most pivotal history in the world of Terramyr.
Plus what better way to build on this lore than to make a playable experience in the same setting!
Dragons Under the Mountain: Monsters in Iverglendar is a 5e-compatible adventure for levels 1-2. It's not as short as a one-shot, but not as long as a full campaign either. Targeting approximately 40 pages, with all new creatures, maps, and more, this adventure hits that sweet spot between the shorter and longer adventures.
The Dimday Red Solo Mode just appeared in the horizon!

Hey guys, it's time to reveal one of the surprises I have in store!
After popular demand, I have been working on a solo mode for DdR, and it just appeared in the Stretch Goals! It sits on Level 9 of the Hochburg Slum, at 20000€.
I am pretty sure we'll get there, so if you feel you can take on the dangers of the Center alone, your wish may just come true!
Stay tuned, and prepare to embark on a thrilling journey where you alone are the master of your destiny!
