Paper Rogue
Are you interested in RPGs and D&D? We are looking for play testers for Fredrick Ernst’s new solitaire dungeon adventure!
Paper Rogue is an exciting dungeon campaign that allows anybody to play at almost any time! All you need is a pencil, eraser and one six sided die.
Here is a quick breakdown of how to get started:
The game plays out in a series of turns, each of which is broken into four steps during which you will move through and explore the dungeon, battle monsters and search for treasure. You win by completing the conditions of your quest.
If you are reduced to zero health or supplies before you manage this, however, you are defeated.
Who are you?
First you must select a hero. Each hero has different strengths and abilities and will find different treasures in the dungeon. All heroes have spaces to record health, supplies, gold and potions. Once you have selected a hero, choose one of the three available races for that hero, each has a different special boon, often an item that it gains before starting the game. Once you’ve selected a hero and chosen the hero’s race, you must learn the nature and location of your quest.
What is your Quest?
Now you must generate the name of the dungeon, which will determine your quest objective, the default monster table for the dungeon, and a special modifier that effects the entire dungeon. Roll on the Dungeon Name Table and record the results on your dungeon map. The game begins with the hero on the stair space in the center of the starting room. The hero has full health and supplies, but no treasure or weapons of any kind (unless his class or race states otherwise).
I have a few question. Is room 7 open on three sides and one can only be left thru the door? Can you have 2 room 6′s side by side which would make it a 6×3 with four doors. So a locked door is the shaded one and always either trapped or untrapped? Does the woodmans axe turn a locked door into an archway? So far I really like this game. I’ve just played for an hour haven’t won yet but Im playing a elf ranger in castle of terror. ingenious and simple. If you mass produce this I recommend either dry erase board or dry erase mat. Or even a few different dungeons with a few permanent wall added.
I love that this game exists but am a bit confused…. I tried playing a game after reading through the instructions and came to one great confusion; On page 3 there is an exploration table that goes all the way up to 8+… How would one roll 8+ on a 6-sided die, There obviously is some instruction that I didn’t understand or follow… What is it?
This game looks great and I look forward to playing it eventually. It would be very cool if a video of how to play was published or if a FAQ list was put out.
Thank You for Making This Game!
