This was one of the first solo games I played, during the pandemic. Buoyed by the author's fantastic art, this is a delightful and deceptively thought-provoking game that really gets the brain churning, the creativity flowing, and just breathes whimsy and that very-feral delight that comes with irreverant dungeoneering OSRPGs tend to hold.

If you've never played a solo game before, I highly reccomend picking up How to Host a Dungeon. If you struggle with resolving some of the prompts/questions, let it go and let it flow; the game is incredibly forgiving and rewards 'just going with it'. Pencil off a few hours, grab a big piece of paper, some dice, colored pencils and go to town imaginging a brilliant, storied dungeon for yourself. 10/10

We played this to set up some factions within a 'traditional European Fantasy' themed 5e game. It created a rich tapestry of factions to fill our city with and made for great one-off games before we settled into our adventuring. Loved it!

A really compelling and unique game based around tarot. A dirty, gritty femme-core matriarch-sister to Mork-Borg, it is an entirely fleshy, disgusting and compelling romp for those of us who just want death and destruction and decay, in a feminist frame of reference. The game is beautifully designed, a feast for the eyes to read. The setting is compelling and rotten and everything it should be. It's certainly not a game for the faint of heart- but you knew that going in, didn't you?

My one complaint is that the game doesn't print well. A text-only or image-reduced b+w pdf would be beneficial for when it's brought to the table. Other than that, excellent, and everything I wanted from this!

Great for anyone who needs some inspiration for a cave-based/underground/underdark-themed adventure! If you need a bit more structure or are having trouble generating ideas for a cave-centered adventure, get this RIGHT NOW! These 10 idea-seeds are full of people, places and things that can fit into ANY campaign, but are meant to be a compliment to Downcrawl. Each one is deliciously compelling; so much so that I want to spend DAYS exploring each page basking in the inspiration held within.

One of the most original, inspiring and easily-playable RPG systems I have ever encountered. I have played quick one-shot games with Downcrawl, I have also played sweeping campaigns that have lasted for months with the same players. The game is easily customizable, endlessly inspiring and gives an amount of agency to both GM and players in a way that's rare these days! Downcrawl gives you room to explore, if you want to. It also gives you extremely solid foundations to build off of when you don't. 10/10
