The Crawler’s Companion is a free, funky dice-rolling, rules-referencing, chart-crushing Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG utility for the web that works on desktop and most non-ancient phones and tablets.

- Funky Dice Roller: d3-d100 and everything in between
- Batch Die Roller: Mass roll dice in nearly endless combinations!
- Critical Hit Charts: All player and monster charts!
- Failure Charts: Fumbles, corruptions, misfires, deity disapproval!
- Rules Reference: Many topics available for quick reference.
- Spell Reference and Resolution: Yep, they’re all there!
- Generators: O-level characters, dragons, demons, swords and more!
- Battle Manager: Pre-create encounter and party data! (In progress in the HTML version)
- Data Sharing: Share dice roll and messages with other Crawler users
Accessing the Crawler
Launch the HTML version of the Crawler
- If your mobile device has an Add to home screen feature, use it to install the app and add an icon to your device's home screen. The HTML version will then act basically in every way as a native app when launched from the icon. On PC/MacOS/Linux machines, you can do the same in Chrome-based browsers in settings/apps.
- Since all the files are then cached on your device in a special way, you can even use the app when you’re offline (excepting the generators which now access the web versions). (While development is ongoing, it's a good idea to delete the icon and recreate it occasionally to make sure you have the latest updates).
- If you’re on a slow connection, you may need to hit refresh on the first load to get everything loaded up correctly, but from that point on you should be fine.
- You can find tutorial videos of the Crawler on our YouTube channel. Many of the videos are for the older app store version, and I will try to get them updated over time!
What Happened to the App Store Version?
The iOS and Google Play app stores grewless friendly to small/free/indy developers, with little support and ever-shifting requirements. Additionally, the tool used to build the legacy version of the Crawler is no longer supported, I can't upload changes to the app store, and thus the App Store version is now considered officially dead. If you have an older device that the Crawler still works on, fantastic! But it's not supported any longer, and if data sharing hasn't failed alreay, it likely will shortly. The HTML version is now feature complete with the old version, with many new improvements and features.
Legacy Versions
I'll leave up these old download links for really old Android devices!
