For the Dungeon!

Was reading through the rules and I mostly understand everything, but I was wondering what the advantage to having the Breaker and Slippery perks is. Can you not break things or slip away without them? Or do they just make it easier? If you can break things without Breaker, would it be through Cunning Ploy or Get Violent?

This game is wonderful. I made a group of undead serving a weird Lord Acererak and we had fun for hours. Possibly starting an open campaign. XD

It’s brilliant: it really shows how PbtA related games can be far less restrictive and the addition of FitD like mechanics and cycles makes it a funny and well thought experiment! 

Will physical copies ever be available again through DriveThruRPG print-on-demand, Lulu, etc.?

A frenetic, fast and gloriously silly game with a wonderful comic perspective with a serious emphasis on improvisation and having a fun time!

My friend and I played "For the Dungeon!" on our podcast "1 hour 1 shot ttrpg" and had a real good time with it.  We played it as 1 moderator and 1 player.

This looks lovely! Is it possible to play this as solo play?

I got to try this out at Breakout in Toronto this weekend and it was an absolute hoot! The mechanics and prompts lead to a lot of shenanigans. It makes for great one-shot, or could easily be inserted into an ongoing fantasy campaign  game as a fun interlude.

Is it possible to buy a physical copy? I can't see an option on this site.

Great game concept! Can't wait to play it with my friends and foes!

For The Dungeon is a short, high-energy, light-hearted rpg about minions defending a dungeon from adventurers. It's multiplayer, easy to learn, and maybe the perfect intro to indie games if you're used to DnD and want to try something different for a one-shot.

The PDF is 47 pages, all pretty short and easy to read, and it's got great layout and illustrations---although in a few places they feel a little formatted for print, and pictures fall partly off of one page and onto another.

The core mechanics are simple---you roll d6s and try to hit at least one 4 or higher---and complications are one of the most common results, giving the game a sort of balance towards chaos.

Character creation is nice and crunchy, though, and gives you lots of options to manipulate the dice results through your Perks. Anything from boosting the dice on a specific type of Move (basically, what would be a skill in D20) to flipping a critical failure into a critical success once per session is available for players to pick up.

There's also a nice downtime system, for getting benefits and recovering resources between adventures.

There is no bestiary, which I think would have been a nice touch, but monster creation is *really* easy for GMs, and there's both plenty of solid GMing advice and all the toolkit you need for throwing together monsters included in the book.

Overall, if you're looking for a zany one-shot or slightly more serious dungeonpunk campaign, and if you like great art and a light-but-chaotic atmosphere, get this.

Me and a friend got this in the bundle a few months ago, and holy crap is this the most fun we've had playing a TTRPG. We have a group of 5 and even got a friend that never played any to join us. I think we've finished our 6th session the other day. It's been amazing watching our characters evolve from little minions with nothing but the clothes on their backs and their stuff to the dungeon's sub-commanders.

Very good as an introduction to pen and paper RPGs. With a very clear focus on the narrative rather than a complicated ruleset telling game this is ideal for a more story telling focused group. A simple enough ruleset that rewards player engagement and imagination, making it highly shapeable into anything that comes to mind. Still retaining a very good system of dice that allows for it to be challenging and both punishing and rewarding, keeping the players on edge yet without a massive system of rules. Easily skinned into any setting and open to anything the players will do. Can be adapted to any group of any age.

Update: So far has been a success on every group I played it with, some friends have purchased it afterwards.

Using it with my 11-16 gaming club students as an intro to role-playing.  Far more forgiving and less involved than other RPG's, it nevertheless inspires entertaining and in depth encounters.  The students are really engaged and the quick character creation means some Paranoia level shenanigans.

This game is fun and easy to set up. You will be laughing at all of the things that can happen along the way

I'll be honest, comedy rpgs can be a bit hit or miss for me, so I tried to manage my expectations (unsuccessfully) based on the hype I felt from the premise alone.
I'm happy to report that the hype was correct, this is an incredibly entertaining game and extremely simple to pick up and play.
Gone are overwrought, tragic heroes on a quest to the save the world when I need a one-shot. In their place are sort of competent minions trying to do their best in a world which is arrayed against them.

Reading through the book now. Super happy I backed this project. My group is really looking forward to playing a game from the other side of the table!

This is an amazingly fun game that is very easy to set up and play. My group has had an enormous amount of fun getting to act in a role that they had not hereto been able to. Playing as the mooks in a dungeon is a very fun and creative experience. The game is overall amazingly fun and easy to pick up. I highly recommend that you get a copy and start playing today!

This has been a very fun game! It's great for quick one shot sessions between campaigns, Holiday specials, or for the inevitable "villains campaign" all groups want to try. It's quick to pick up, easy to run, and fun to play. I highly recommend.

I brought this game up with my dnd group and they liked the sound of it so we ran an off session for it.

when it came time for a hero to show up I would describe one of their actual characters from our campaign, it was alot of fun and i highly recommend it.

I love playing this with my friends. The first time we did it, we thought we would only play for an hour or two. Six hours later, and they kept asking for more. The game mechanics are easy to grasp, and the character creation was easy for my friends to use, as they sometimes have a hard time wrapping their head around the more advanced rpgs. As a GM, the ability to improvise on the fly is extremely helpful. It’s a bucket of laughs to be sure.

I ran a play test of this game for my wife and son. They had a blast, and found the creation rules and basic mechanics easy to follow. It requires a bit of improvisational skills on the part of the GM, but a creative and open mind is really all you need. It's a lighthearted, comical take on a fantasy RPG.

When I found this project, I backed it immediately!  At the first opportunity, play tested it with friends and we all had a blast!  It is both familiar while being a unique and novel approach to fantasy rp.  The play mechanics are easily understandable and accessible to all levels of players. 

I have long awaited a game that finally gives voice to the minions who toil thanklessly in the darkness.  We are not just waiting to be slaughtered by “heros” who lay waste to our homes and workplaces.  Thank you for this game!
