Diceless Dungeons

ADD TO WISHLIST >

It's Diceless Dungeons!  An old-school, digest-sized game without the bones...

You see, every old-school system has a diceless game inside of it, because they emphasize decision-making, exploration, and role-playing above all else.  And Diceless dungeons obliges with everything you'd expect from this kind of experience.  All the monsters, traps, and treasures.  Herein you'll find:

Simple, yet robust, rules for character creation and the sorcerer's apprentice...

Engaging, but easy-to-use, mechanics that exploit the unknown to do what dice usually do...

Combat rules that duplicate the blow-by-blow action of traditional games...

Plus evil monsters and magic items ready to be won and wielded by the courageous!

All wrapped up in a flexible, narrative format that feels a lot like the imaginative play we knew and loved as children.  Oh, and for the squeamish, there's OPTIONAL dice mechanics that are just as simple, easy, and narratively driven as everything else!  So sharpen your swords and oil up that armor.  The dungeons await heroes brave enough to enter them...

Just a quickie. So each round, the characters take a wound (allocated as appropriate) and the monsters take wound? Or do they, since they will expire after the set number of rounds. I'm just not sure I can wrap my head around that...

First off, thank you for your question Michael! You got it right. Wounds are not dealt to enemies; rather, enemies are defeated if at least one character survives a specified number of rounds. It’s really no different from giving the enemy a certain number of wounds (or hit points) and having the party deliver an automatic one wound per round until the enemy falls to zero, except that it requires less bookkeeping. We hope this helps, but please feel free to ask us anything at any time – and good gaming! Also, DD2: The Diceless Wilds offers some additional rules for wounds in combat to make the whole thing even less predictable...

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
