One Page Dungeon

[spywaregorilla]

> A villager. Wants to pay you to get rid of a mysterious, sticky to touch book.

Behold! The legendary Book of Shame!

[trebbble]

Clearly it contains alchemists' lost secrets to creating slimes. But is cursed to gradually turn anyone who reads it into a slime. Which at least one player will obviously try to do. There's some good motivation to complete the quest and/or make one or more players play as an intelligent slime for a while.

[EDIT] Gelatinous cubes, rather. Now I must read the Book of Shame.

SOmething like this really needs a history generator.

Almost like you need dwarf fortress running at full speed to simulated the history and then take that as the basis of the dungeon.

Ten little snippets seems pretty superficial, the basic plot already seems to be repetitive.

The Moria/roguelikes would also be great for generation, backstory, etc

[gabereiser]

Ugh, I love his stuff. I wish there was the source to this like his town generator. Makes me miss my old gaming group.

Interesting to imagine feeding some of these room descriptions into DALL·E 2 and getting little room illustrations to go a long with it.

Nice to see the person behind Pixel Dungeon still doing great stuff!

Anybody else read this in a Danzig voice?

Now that you mention it ... I don't wanna be here, in your British Hell.

Watabou is my go-to for low-prep toolbox apps in gaming. Between that one, and donjon (https://donjon.bin.sh/), and a name generator like https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ , it's basically everything you need for a quick jaunt into the dark with your buddies.

When you click into the map and press ctrl+r it just creates a new map and doesn't refresh the page. Thought that was pretty nice but others might not like hijacking ctrl+r

[WhyCause]

Odd; when I do that it just rotates the same map (back and forth, between a horizontal alignment and about 30 degrees).

I do agree that hijacking ctrl-r is not ideal.

[kalupa]

I’m really here to just boost this because it’s awesome and I’ve known about it for years. Years right? Covid time is weird

[metadat]

I wish shattered pixel dungeon (or any mobile RPG) would integrate this! It's so rich, I love it.

This is made by the creator of Pixel Dungeon.

And there are a ton of options.

How do I use this?

[egypturnash]

You reload until you get one that looks cool, then you screen grab it, and hook up with some friends and your favorite RPG system rules. D&D, Hackmaster, GURPS, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Pathfinder, Encounter Critical, whatever.

If you are lacking in rulebooks and/or friends this is pretty much useless.
