Venture & Dungeon
 |
Venture & Dungeon is a book of two tabletop roleplaying games inspired by traditional high fantasy rpgs like Dungeons & Dragons. It was funded on kickstarter at almost 500% of the original goal¸ and now you can preorder the PDF and physical book before they go out into the world.
Right when you buy¸ you will receive downloads for the current playtest versions of both playkits¸ so you can start playing right away¸ as long as you have a basic understanding of the belonging outside belonging system. If not¸ you'll receive the full game book complete with instructions specific to Venture and Dungeon when the full PDF is released.
When the book is published¸ we will add the option to claim one of the approximately 150 community copies that were donated over the course of the kickstarter campaign¸ so if you are not in the place to afford the PDF¸ please know that you have that option.
Venture by Riley Rethal is a game of introspective heroic fantasy.
Venture gives us magic-filled forests and looming castles¸ champions in shining armor and vagabonds with dazzling charm¸ markets of ill-repute and duplicitous authorities¸ and uncaring gods high above always asking¸ "What do you do next?”
In Venture¸ we will play as a group of adventurers traveling through a fantasy world¸ making their way across the terrain while learning about themselves and each other. They will meet townspeople with storied cultures¸ criminals with shady agendas¸ mages with esoteric power¸ and a strange darkness encroaching on the horizon.
Dungeon by Jay Dragon is a game about teens playing games of their own.
Dungeon gives us trap-riddled school hallways¸ dragons in the boiler room¸ the endless grid of suburbia¸ doodles of monsters in the margins of planners¸ and a grinning game master always asking¸ "What do you do next?”
In Dungeon¸ we will play as a group of teenagers on the verge of the greatest danger of their lives¸ whether that danger is the vast dungeon they explore once a week¸ or the existential terror of high school. They'll need to confront mocking skeletons¸ surveilling monstrosities¸ bloodsucking bullies¸ and (of course) the dragon atop its throne of gold. And all they'll have is an old and battered sourcebook¸ and each other.
