Four Against Darkness

Four Against Darkness is a solo dungeon crawl you play with a book, a pencil, two six-sided dice and a sheet of grid paper. No miniatures, no board. You pick four adventurers from the classic roster of warriors, wizards, rogues, halflings, dwarves, barbarians, clerics and elves, equip them, and head into a dungeon that you map out yourself, room by room, as the dice generate what you find. Monsters, treasure, traps, clues and even quests from monsters turn up on random tables. You manage healing, spells, life points and gear, level up your party, and sometimes decide that discretion is the better part of valour. It is solitaire only, and it is a roughly seventy-five minute tale each time.
