Dungeon Scum

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"Who said Dungeoneering had to be dreary?"

Based on the Starport Scum scifi rules, Dungeon Scum is a narrative wargame intended to be played by role players and war gamers alike.

Gather your group of adventurers, set out on a dungeon delve and hope you make it back!

Get loot, see the sights, maybe go on an epic quest.

Dungeon Scum sets itself apart in a few ways:

*The combat rules are fast, simple and easy to remember, allowing you to fight multiple encounters in one gaming session.

*Unlike many RPG's, it includes a morale system for more realistic combats.

*It can be played solo, with encounter tables and monster lists for a fully random delve.

*It can be turned into a full-fledged role playing game.

*Characters can generated randomly in a few rolls or simply described with a couple of common-sense sentences.

Your hero is a SWORDFIGHTER with QUICK REFLEXES and a VOW OF SILENCE? Good, that's all we needed to know.

*Loot is well supplied with tons of magical items to find.

*6 types of magic with 10 spells in each system, plus "quest" spells used in campaign play.

*Campaign rules for letting your heroes become stronger..if they don't die.

*While the game is intended to use miniature figures, advice is provided to players who prefer playing without them.

And a lot more.

Clocking in at 88 print-friendly pages, Dungeon Scum can be played with any miniatures you already own.

Hi. The rulebook says..."The “World” section of these rules will provide an option for a “hex-crawl” where you can roll up random terrain one hex at a time on a hex-map". Where is that part of the rules? Thx.

That's a legacy bit that got dropped since the two attempts at creating it ended up being rather dull to play unfortunately. The reference got left in I'm afraid.

This is a very brain-dead question, but I just figure it out: is Dungeon Scum a stand alone game, or do I need Starport Scum to play it?

The movement rules seem awfully complex compared to normal NW rules. So many modifiers and exceptions to keep track of. After we just rolled dice for initiative and had to track edge cases like new heavy armor there. Is there an amazing reason not to just have a set movement stat by race, etc?

Thanks! Movement is normally one of those things that no one spends time on so it’s interesting to see some variability. I’ll start using a fixed rate and then maybe add the more crunchy rules later. Thanks again.

I had some account issues at one point while trying to change my email, and I think it messed with some posts :(

I have got bought this game two weeks ago and so far I am loving it, it has everything I was looking for in a solo game.

Quick question, any chance we will see an adventure pack for Urban encounters (Delve tables for cities)? That would be awesome.

Very little new for this system in months. Hope it sees some new supporting publications. I've purchased everything you've released, Dungeon Scum related.

Question for Ivan, I can't seem to figure out what characters actually have to do to cast spells. Are they supposed to roll the number in the table listed to the left of the spell? And if so, what kind of dice are they rolling? It can't be a D6 since the number goes up to ten, and it can't be multiple D6 since the first spell has "1" listed next to it. I've gone over the magic section several times and can't find something that talks about how you know whether a character has successfully cast a spell or not. Maybe I'm just not seeing it? Thanks.

Ok, so if I understand correctly, they just choose the spell, spend an action, and then cast it as long as they meet the other requirements?

Sounds good to me. Thanks Ivan :) Also, the campaign section mentions a "world" section with rules for using a hex-crawl system, but doesn't seem to exist? Is that a future feature?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
