Dungeon Crate

Dungeon Crate was founded in 2015 by Wayne Brekke in Omaha, Nebraska after he returned from GenCon wanting to buy a subscription box filled with items from the vendor floor. When he couldn’t find one serving the RPG community specifically, he created the world’s first monthly subscription box dedicated to tabletop role-playing game accessories.

Company Mission

Dungeon Crate’s mission is to enhance the tabletop RPG experience by delivering curated gaming accessories that elevate gameplay for Dungeon Masters and players. By partnering with small makers, established manufacturers like Reaper and WizKids, and creating original adventures, they aim to bring the excitement of GenCon vendor floors to subscribers’ doorsteps monthly.

Products & Services

Dungeon Crate offers multiple subscription tiers:

• Sapphire Plan: $29.95/month for physical crate + digital content
• Emerald Plan: $85.95/3 months (most popular, best value)
• Digital Plan: $9.95/month for digital-only adventure content

Each physical crate includes 5-7 items such as dice sets, miniatures, tabletop terrain, metal coins, game tokens, enamel pins, maps, and limited edition items from small makers. All subscribers receive access to monthly digital adventures and 10% off the online RPG store.

What Sets Them Apart

Dungeon Crate distinguishes itself through community-focused curation specifically for RPG enthusiasts rather than general geek culture. Their customer service receives exceptional praise (“level 20+” quality) with every question answered and issue resolved promptly. The combination of physical props, miniatures from quality manufacturers, and original monthly adventures creates comprehensive value for Dungeon Masters preparing campaigns. Unlike generic geek boxes mixing various fandoms, Dungeon Crate focuses exclusively on tabletop RPG enhancement.
