Currently rough drafting a new solo dungeon crawler. Can be played solo or with up to 4 people. Card/dice mechanics.

Currently rough drafting a new solo dungeon crawler. Can be played solo or with up to 4 people. Card/dice mechanics.

Game mechanics include using dice to generate room, doors, # of monsters and treasure. Also used to check whether things are locked/unlocked.


You see what monster(s) to face using the according dungeon deck. So for a lvl 1 dungeon, you draw from the lvl 1 deck.
Same for treasure. Use the treasure deck.

Combat is dice based, rolling a D6 + STR for the attack roll and D6 + Armor for a defense roll.

Example: I attack the dire wolf that has 10HP, dire wolf rolls D6 for its defense roll. Rolls a 2. Has armor of 1.

2+1=3 DR

I roll my attack. I roll a 3 and have a str of 4.

3+4=7 AR.


I hit and subtract it’s DR from my AR equaling 4 damage. The dire wolf now has 6HP left. If I had rolled an AR of 3 or less I would have missed.

Same process when the monster attacks. You roll DR, it rolls AR. If it’s higher than your DR, the difference is the damage it lands on you. If the AR is lower then your DR, it missed.


You pick a class card and fill out the info, distributing 12 stat points between the 4 stats. Movement is DEX \ 2 rounded up.

Below is an example of what a room may look like once generated and what you’re play area may look like. Triangle represents player, circle for enemy. Can be interchanged with whatever you’d like, minis, tokens etc.
Also and example of monster and class cards.

  2. Toimu noted for play testing!! Thanks! I will update tomorrow with a possible date for the first functional prototype that I can send out for play testing. I do plan on sending a fully working prototype starter set box out to testers. :) so I will also be posting a list of play testers tomorrow of volunteers so far and how many open slots will be left :). Thanks again for the interest! :)
