Paper Dungeons: A Dungeon Scrawler Game
Roll-and-write dungeon crawl where four paper heroes level up and loot with every dice pick.
Who it's for
You like dungeon crawlers but not the setup time, or you want a pencil-and-dice game with a clear fantasy theme. Works well for big groups since everyone plays at once.
Not for you if…
You want direct fights or a shared board. Everyone fills in their own sheet, so you mostly compare scores at the end rather than interact.
Vibe's take
A satisfying little puzzle of dice picks, where every choice feeds one of your four heroes and the dungeon map fills with marks. It has real fantasy flavor for a pencil game and little downtime.
About this game
A roll-and-write that tries to squeeze a whole dungeon crawl onto a sheet of paper. You lead the classic party of warrior, wizard, cleric and rogue through nine rounds. Each round you pick three of six rolled dice and use them to level up your heroes, brew potions, gather magic items, and push deeper into the dungeon to grab treasure. Three big monsters lurk down there, and fighting them earns glory. The player with the most glory wins. Everyone fills in their own sheet, so it plays well in large groups and still has solo and eight-player options.
