DNGN + DRGN

The armor can be flavored anyway youd like (gear, magic, etc) but functionally the armor is burned/spent in reaction to having to reduced either STAT DICE.

Great Questions!
1) yes! You can continue to use a stat at zero, but if you fail you must reduce your remaining die.
2) yes! you can push a roll even at at 0, reducing your remaining die
3) Also yes, you can lobby for whatever roll you want at anytime - as long as you can justify it in the fiction!

Thank you so much! This game is my pride and joy so iIreally appreciate you taking the time to read it.

I made this game as proof of concept for my DNGN ENGN DICE SYSTEM. Its got roots in a quite a few things -- Scaling dice can be found in a lot of things, but i guess my main inspiration would be DANCING WITH BULLETS UNDER A NEON SUN. The kinda of frenzied dice rolling action has some roots in EAT THE REICH. Its also clearly meant to be a slight jab a D&D, lol. 

I wanted to a build a game that was more focus on collaboratively building a narrative without having to dial back the amount of dice rolling.  I also wanted to eliminate arbitrary target numbers. In general, I try to write games with enough satisfying mechanical crunch but without anything not needed to understand the game.

At the moment i have a handful of kickstarters that i am working on fulfilling, so it will be a moment before i launch anything new.  Although, I considered doing some itch funders and getting some POD services set up for these. So i guess just stay tuned in terms of getting a physical copy!
I'm  going to keep making support for D+D, in particular id love to build an overland travel system and a tavern system -- that would frame going to the tavern as its own dungeon where the threats are social and political as opposed to physical.

I would love to hear about your experiences with the game! Please keep me updated! (and make sure you download my free 1 hour 1 shot for it)

Once again, thank you. This made my day!

Oh I think there is never a bad time for a clock! I think that could easily be added via the environments themselves (such a being trapped in a chamber with water filling up the room). Poisons could be a good one too! Great thought!

Calling a shot is always the better choice in terms of damage, but if you fail the roll you end up having to diminish your Dice twice, which you may not have the resources for (since typically a face off happens towards the end of a delve, or at least after a few other encounters).

And just so you know Im gonna continue to release support for this game, like a Delve generator and a campaign support system (with overland travel mechanics).

Hey that's amazing! Yes please do, just be sure to credit me on the page. Can't wait to see it!

Thank you, friend! I appreciate the kind words!

I added a plain text pdf, I've never made a document for screen readers, please let me know if their are any adjustments i can make or if other formats for would be better! Thank you so much for playing and I hope yall have a blast!
