Dungeon Anarchists Cookbook

The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook · the Cookbook · the teacher's edition

The secret crawler-authored survival journal Carl inherits — in which he pens the 25th edition's vow to stop talking and truly break the system.

Story so far

The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook is the secret, crawler-authored survival manual Carl carries — a 'teacher's edition' of accumulated wisdom from the twenty-four crawlers before him (Coolie, Forkith, Tin, and others), covering everything from deity-summoning rules to boss mechanics. Across the Iron Tangle it guides his every gambit. At the floor's end, moved by the sacrifices of Fire Brandy and Tizquick and his own realization that killing the trapped NPCs and mobs may be the only mercy, Carl authors its 25th edition: every author before him only TALKED about burning the place down, but he will actually DO it — start killing them all, break them all.

'They will not break me... But I will break them.' His personal declaration of open war on the crawl, signed for anyone who reads it.
