Dominion of Blades question
So I have the 2 Dominion of Blades audiobooks purchased, but I haven't started them yet. I've been hesitant because I don't want to be stuck in sequel purgatory. I found an old post, about 3 years old, where Matt said that it will be 2 more books and he won't be able to complete it until he can give it his full focus, so presumably not until he finishes DCC. So I have 2 questions.
Does anyone know if Matt still intends to finish these and will it be a top priority once DCC wraps?
How satisfying is the ending of Book 2? Like how cliffhangery is it? For reference, I like how the DCC books each wrap up. The storylines for the floor all wrap up and even though He drops bombs about what's to come and makes me excited for the next book, it's never anything where Carl and Donut are in the middle of immediate danger.

Tiny DCC Lino ATC for the Next Pubcrawler Dallas
At the last DCC pub crawl, I handed out some illustrated DCC artist trading cards and they were a huge hit. I didn't bring nearly enough! This time I will have some hand drawn ones, but I decided to carve some tiny Crawl inspired lino blocks as well to give me the ability to pass more out. I'll also be equipped with some bookmarks as well (2nd photo).
I'm also open to any ideas that I could make super small to increase the loot options for folks. My favorite so far is the tiny Big Shot truck.
Looking forward to seeing my fellow crawlers on August 1st!

DCC Tv Show : First Full Trailer speculation
For months I’ve had scenes from an imagined 'First full trailer' for the Dungeon Crawler Carl TV show in my head. Came about after another relisten of the first book after I found out about the show.
I thought it might be fun to throw this out to crawlers and see if anyone else had some interesting ideas for trailer scenes that would wet the appetite for the show. Also gives us a new niche to talk about that’s not fan casts.
I Think the scenes need to appeal to non fans as well so things might be changed slighly
The two scenes I have in my head kind of goes like this...
Trailer Start scene
Shot 1: Sky, Light snow storm. Pans down to a tall tree outside an apartment block. Loud cat mewing.
Carl: Donut, get back here you little shit
Black Screen: Fuzzy Door Productions
Shot 2: close up of Pink Crocs. Pans up bare legs, dressing gown. Carls face.
Carl: Donut!
Mrs Parsons: Carl is that you?
Carl: its fine Mrs Parsons donut got out and…
Shot 3: neighbours head sticking out of window
Mrs Parsons: Carl you’re going to freeze to death if yo....
Building slams down. Carl stands there in disbelief. Looks down. Head rolls next to the pink crocs. Carl's face.
Carl(whispering): ...what the fu..[cut]
Black Screen: The Borant Corporation welcomes you to the universes greatest reality show
Slow version of Wonderwall starts to play: something like: Ryan Adams version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inlac4FyhD8
Shot 4: Snowy desolate area with bright golden stair well digital sign above it which says ‘WELCOME TO THE WORLD DUNGEON’
AI Narration ‘According to the Syndicate's Precious Elemental Reserves Code, Earth was seized and mined because humanity failed to file for rights within 50 Solars of first contact. The WORLD DUNGEON has been chosen.
End of trailer scenes
Black Screen: THIS WINTER
[Wonderwall] you’re gonna be the one that saves me(saves me)
Quick cut shots: Big explosions. Carl punching a Llama in the throat. Throwing a boom jug into a room with goblins. Rage Elemental screams.
AI <voiceover>: B.. B…B..B..B.B..B.BOSS BATTLE
Black Screen: THE APOCALYPSE
[Wonderwall] you’re gonna be the one that saves me(saves me)
Quick cut shots: Carl stepping on something bear foot. Dangerdingo explodes. Driving on the goblin chopper throwing bombs’
Hoarder <voiceover>: "Ayúdame por favor. No se que esta pasando.
Black Screen: WILL
[Wonderwall] you’re gonna be the one that saves me(saves me)
Quick cut shot: Jack pees on the wall. Ball of swine explodes showering everything with red blood and gore’
Cascadia <voiceover>: Kill, Kill, KILL
Frank Q <voiceover>: Wh...where are your pants?
Black Screen: BE
[Wonderwall] you’re gonna be the one that saves me(saves me)
Shot: Donut knocks over mordecai’s mothers ashes
Mordecai <voiceover>: your cat is shitting on my mom’s ashes
Black Screen: TELEVISED
Fades to Black. Oasis music cuts off. We just hear breathing and an Alien holding like music
Shot: Carl and Donut absolutely covered in blood, sat in chairs staring straight ahead..sat in silence for a few seconds
Donut: This music is making my head hurt. Why can’t they play something good? Like Oasis?
Carl: …What?
Black Screen: DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL
Cascadia <voiceover>: Now get out there and Kill, Kill, KILL

The grinding cheerleader costume reference?
I'm only about half way through this book so no spoilers please!
Towards the beginning, Adam is talking to the twins about a Halloween party they attended together and he says Nif was dressed as a cheerleader holding a giant jar of peanut butter and she was pissed because no one got the reference. What is the reference? When I Google this all I get is an oddly similar TikTok trend from several years after this book was published so I can't figure it out!

A question for Matt
This may be a dumb question, but I wanted to ask, nonetheless.
Why did you write Donut as a tortie? I know you have given permission for artists to change up her color scheme in their work because of your own dislike for drawing torties. You could have described her as any other color scheme and I don't think she would have turned out any different, as her cat-ness doesn't seem to be unique to the Persian breed.

New Quest: So You Think You've Got a Dinniman?
You stumbled across some artwork and you want to double-check if it was created by Matt. Well here's a chance for you to check it on your own!
A Quick FAQ
Q: WAIT!!! Author Matt Dinniman created art?!
A: Yes! Matt previously drew animals at pet shows. Additionally, he and his wife ran a business called Collage-O-Rama and sold artwork at cons, on Etsy and Amazon. Some of Matt's artwork was also sold at Ikea.
Q: Can I buy Matt's artwork now?
A: Only on the resale market. Collage-O-Rama has closed, but sometimes the art shows up on second hand markets like eBay or others.
Q: What kind of artwork is Matt/Collage-O-Rama noted for?!
A: The most famous of Matt's artwork are the dictionary art prints.
Q: OHMYGOD I HAVE A DICTIONARY PRINT! IS IT MATT'S?
A: Well now you've reached the real crux of your quest, crawler. Read on to figure out how to tell if your artwork might be a Dinniman.
Easy Ways to Check
- If purchased online and not through a resale site, go back to your purchase point. Did you buy it from a store called Collage-O-Rama? Congratulations! It's a Dinniman. Generally, any other stores means it is NOT a Dinniman.
- Does your art feature an intellectual property like Disney, famous logos or recognizable characters? The only confirmed Dinniman uses of other IPs are a Jason / Hockey Mask cat and a Tardis / Police Box from Doctor Who.
How Else Can I Check?
Matt's dictionary at work was all laser printed onto dictionary pages. They were all from the same dictionary and will have the same defining qualities.
- Check the back of your art. Is it double-sided like a book page? If the book page is not on the front and the back it is NOT a Dinniman
- Evaluate the defining qualities of the dictionary page.
Matt's dictionary prints have the following:
- No tabs or cutouts on the edges
- 3 columns of text and no vertical lines separating the columns
- Top margin of the page: Beginning word on left side Page number in the center. Ending word on the right side. The word is always in lowercase unless it's a proper noun. (mountain vs. Mount Everest.).
- Bottom of the page: Pronunciation guide.
See examples below:
Is there anyplace else I can double-check?
- Artchive: https://collageorama.artchive.site/
- Wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/https://collageorama.etsy.com
To be clear, we cannot guarantee that any print that meets these qualities is one by Matt. Purchase, trade or otherwise proceed at your own risk.
NEEEEEWWWW ACHIEVEMENT
You've learned how to use your own skills to determine if a dictionary print is Matt Dinniman's art or not. Your reward? A deep feeling of pride.
