BUY THIS NOW, it is 80% off, even if you regret this purchase for some unknowable reason (highly doubtful), it's $1... Atmospheric, beautiful, simple, self-contained. Built off of Knave (yes, it's playable without hours of prep) and given high praise by Geek Gamers of Youtube fame...

Dungeons & Liars #46: Noble Tower (DMDave) is fun 9 page adventure for Fifth Edition D&D, but I used Rogueland (40 pages, DriveThruRPG). To solo this, I used the solo engine – FlexTale Solo Adventuring Toolkit. The quest is to destroy an evil chest.

On the first day, Clara the magician, dressed as a servant, got a job at the Noble Tower. She poisoned the food for dinner. When people started getting sick the other female cook (Mazetta) attacked her. It was a knock-down, drag-out fight with hair pulling and face scratching. Clara hits her in the jaw and knocks her out. She then kills Mazetta with a dagger. Clara is questioned, they don’t believe her story, so they capture her and lock her up in a cell in one of the upper levels of the tower. The remaining five PCs attack the guards at the entrance to the courtyard. Both sides have a member go down. The enemy guard does not recover from his wounds and dies in a few hours. Simon the PC brute is healed.

A few minutes before midnight, Clara casts her earthquake spell. She was hoping to have enough time to cast a second spell. She did not. The tower falls, she is crushed to death, a wall is destroyed, and the evil chest is destroyed.

On the second day the PCs catch some fish and fix a meal. After this they run into the three guards again. The PCs kill the three, but Jacques the champion suffers trauma (and there is a permanent penalty for that). They loot the bodies which gives three of them better armor.

On the third day they walk into the compound and see the temple and the cultists. The cultists give them information, but don’t answer questions directly. When the PCs check out the rubble of the tower they are attacked by Clara. An evil spirit from the destroyed check has possessed her. She has seen better days. She had more hit points, but the five PCs were able to kill her. So, the characters were disappointed with the loot. Maybe you will have better luck.

Really liked this. Black Hack is my go-to game but what I love about this game is the stripped down vibe that really does make it feel like a rogue-like computer game of old.

The magic system is great, too. Easily worth the cost of the whole game if you want a simple non-vancian magic system for OSR style or BX gaming.

The very simple and barebones exploration rules look very serviceable, too. Very easy to adapt and modify if they get stale through heavy play, but that should take a while.

Would love to see this game grow with more options and possibilites added to the exploration engines provided.

Super solid - highly usable as-is, or as ideas to swipe for your own homebrew games.
