a dungeon game
A downloadable dungeon crawler
There are lots of games about dragons and adventure. This is the second edition of one of them.
"a brutally simple take on OSR roleplaying games" - Dicebreaker
"a dungeon game essentially takes the dungeon-crawling sword and sorcery gameplay of classic DnD and boils it down to its purest, most intuitive form" - ScreenRant
The best way to read this game is on the web at dungeon.loottheroom.uk. New content like monsters, adventures, and the like will be added to the website periodically. This game is a living text. The web version was most recently updated in February 2023. The downloads on this page have not yet been updated to match. Please see the devlogs at the bottom of this page for details.
A Dungeon Game is a light three-stat OSR style game with some novel mechanisms that allow you to turn failures into successes and that decouple advancement from murder. The core version of the game will always remain free, though I intend to supplement it with additional content including adventures, magic items, bestiaries, and more.
