DUNGEONS OF DOOM is a rules light, low fantasy, high risk adventure game where you take on the
role of either The Bold, The Faithful, The Nimble or The Wyrd in the endless quest for fame and glory.
Three major abilities make out your character. They are the foundation of the rules to play the game.
All you need is three six-sided dice, pen, paper, an eraser and all of your imagination.

+ BACKGROUNDS +

+ THE DUNMURIN +

Dunmurins are wee humanoid creatures that usually live

inside the mountains. With their stocky build and stern eyes,
they look as if they are hewn from the mountain itself -
strong, fierce and rigid as rock.

+ 1 STR and -1 to DEX.

Darkvision 90 feet.
Constructor
The Dunmurin gets Adv.+ 1 Pip when looking for secret doors
and traps.

+ THE GNOME +

Gnomes are demi-fey that live in or near Human, Dunmurian

and Ylf settlements. It is said that they were kicked out of
Arcadia, the realm of fairies, along with the Goblins and the
Ylfs, thousands of years ago… no one seems to remember why?
Gnomes are masters of tricks and illusion, and they often pull
mischievous pranks - perhaps they pulled one too many on the
queen of Fairies.
Gnomes by the way, wear caps of reddish colour.

+1 to WIL and -1 to STR.

Hattrick
Once per day, Gnomes can pull a mundane item out from
underneath their cap (not greater than the cap itself).
Spell
Choose a spell from one of the grimoires on page 21-22.
Darkvision 90 feet.

5
+ THE YLF +

The “prettier” cousin of the Goblin, but that's just on the

outside. Ylfs are wild-natured demi-fey, once ascendants to
the Queen of Fairies and her Court.
An Ylfs heart beats wild and free and traits of the Ylfs are
often very outspoken:
Sorrowful, sinister, sadistic, gleeful, dramatic, mysterious,
vengeful, jealous, wild, anarchistic, free-spirited and childish.

+1 to DEX and -1 to STR.

Spell: Choose a spell from one of the Grimoires in the Magic
section.
Darkvision 90 feet.

+ THE SHROOM +

Shrooms are intelligent,

cheerful Myconids. They
are spread far and
wide. Some live in human settlements or in mushroom
settlements. Others prefer the deep dank places of the
underdark.

Mushroom Messages
Shrooms can send messages via mushrooms
Sporemagic
Shrooms can cast Spore Magic.
Darkvision 90 feet.
+ 1 to WIL and -1 to STR.

+ HUMAN +
Humans are just humans I guess…

+1 Pip to any chosen attribute.

6
 + THE GOBLIN +

Goblins hardly need an introduction. Cast out of Arcadia like

their distant cousins the Ylfs and Gnomes, they now reside in
the human dominated parts of the land.

+1 DEX and -1 STR.

Darkvision 90 feet.
Snitch-Snatch
Goblins can within the blink of an eye snatch the carried
belongings of an unwary victim. On a weak success of a
DEX-test, they snatch 1 slot item. On a strong success they can
snatch 2, or a 2-slot item!

+ THE POOKA +

Pookas (commonly known as Puks) can vary in looks and appearance. Some have butterfly wings, some
dragonfly, even moths. The natural size of a Puk is about 2 inches, however, Puks can in a magic blitz
take on a form called Nimfeach.
Nimfeach (Ylf or Human-like form)
Although forbidden by the Ylf-King, Puks can change into both Ylf and Human form.
Changing form makes their wings disappear, but other physical traits might remain, such as ears, and
skin or their magical sheen.

+1 to Dex and -1 to STR

While in Pooka or animal form, all rolls are made with disadvantage.
Flutter (While in Pooka form)
The Pooka can flutter about
Shape Shift
Puk’s can freely shift into any animal form, horse being the largest, at the cost of ½ a ♥ ️

♥️ .
Glow
The Pooka can intensify its magic sheen and glow brighter than a torch, at the cost of ½ a

Wild Heart
When SHIFT is rolled on the D6 Doom Die, there is a chance that the Puk’s heart runs Wild. The Puk’s
player rolls a d6. On a 1-2: roll further on the Happy Heart Table, on a 3-4: The puk controls their
emotions. On a 5-6: roll further on the Dark Heart Table.

Whenever you are doing something risky you must face a test of attributes. Use the attribute that suits
the test best. Your aim is to get one, or best, two six’s.
Double six is a strong success with a boon.
A single six is a weak success that comes with a cost.
To pass a test, you add your attribute Pips to the dice, the highest first. If doubles are rolled, you add
your Pips to both the dice.

+ SECONDARY STATS +

Heart Points - HP
Hearts are an abstract measure of your character's mental and physical well-being.
When a player runs out of hearts, they must take one of the three below conditions and reset their HP
(back to max). When a player is on their 3’rd and last condition, and runs out of hearts, they die.

Conditions
Hurt: - 1 Pip to STR
Tired: -1 Pip to DEX
Stressed: - 1 Pip to WIL

Armour Pip - AP
Light armour +1 AP
Medium armour +2 AP
Heavy armour +3 AP
Shield +1 AP

is completely destroyed, and beyond repair.

18
+ CRITS & FUMBLES +

Rolling double six before applying Pips is a critical success, and you pass the test with a significant
boon. Rolling two 1’s is a critical failure, with a significant cost.

+ VANTAGES +

Advantage: Roll 3d6 and remove the lowest.

Disadvantage: Roll 3d6 and remove the highest

+ COMBAT +

Combat in DOD is not soft on the Players and they will die if they run head on into every encounter.
Instead, try and think of clever ways to “go around” the fight.
That said, combat can be very fun gamewise, but be wise and best avoid it. Combat should always be
the last resort.

- Combat Test-rolls -

Missile: DEX-test
Melee: STR-test
Magic: WIL-test

- Zones -

The combat scene is abstracted into three zones. It's likely for more to occur during the fight.
The Zones are: The PC’s starting zone, the opponents starting zone, and the zone between them.
When both sides engage in melee combat, the “middle zone” becomes the melee zone, and the other
zones become the ranged zones, respectively. Flying combatants have a zone above.
Various actions can be executed in the respective zones.
These actions are described below.

- The Melee Zone -

Melee attacks, disengage to one of the ranged zones or to a new adjacent zone, cast a spell, do a dirty
trick, trade items.

- The PC’s Ranged Zone -

Disengage to a “new” zone or enter the melee zone, aim, ranged attacks (fire at enemies in other
zones), cast a spell, pull an item from your backpack, trade an item.

- Opponents Ranged Zone -

19
The same rules apply for the opponents ranged zone.

- Rounds -

Combat is divided into rounds. A round is over when all combatants have had their turn. At the start of
each round the GM rolls the Combat Doom Die

- Other Actions -

Movement
See zone description.

Aiming
Before a shot is fired, you can choose to aim, using one of the following: -1 to your DEX-test, but +1 to
damage, or +1 to your DEX-test and -1 to your damage done.

Reaching for your rucksack

It takes 1 action to pull something from your rucksack. Must be declared in the spell declaration phase.
You cannot reach for your rucksack in the melee zone.

Passing an item
You can pass an item to another PC/NPC. This Must be done in the movement phase.
Dirty Tricks
Counts as an attack. You can either grab an opponent - make a STR-test vs STR-test. To uphold the
grabble, you must do further STR-test each round.
Pushing an opponent into another zone - STR-test vs STR-test.
Throwing dirt in the opponents eyes - DEX-test vs. DEX-test. Winner loses their following action.

Opponents Actions
Opponents actions are controlled by the DM and the same rules apply.

+ COMBAT ORDER +

1. Roll for Surprise

2. Declare spells
3. The DM rolls The Combat Doom Die and refers to the Doom Die Table for specifics.
4. Missile & Movement
5. Melee & Magic (spell is cast)

+ SPELLS +

All types of spells are cast by making a WIL-test.

In most cases, the power of the spell is determined by the success of your WIL-test - this goes
especially for incantations.
A weak success: The spell is cast as described.
A strong success: The spell is cast as a two slot spell (if the caster so wishes).
A crit: The Spell is cast as a three slot spell, with a tripled effect (if the caster so wishes).
For these types of spells, it also goes that the spellcaster can increase the power of the spell, either as
a two or a three slot spell, however the price will be doubled and tripled accordingly.
These rules only apply to most Incantations and Miracles & Curses, but refer to individual classes for
specific details.
Rolling a strong success or a crit counts as a boon, and therefore only cost 1 spell slot to cast.

The Wyrd casts Incantations.

The Faithful casts Miracles.
The Doom-Ringer casts Curses.
The Tattered Troubadour casts Sheet Magick.
The Shroom Mailman casts Spore Magic - Spore Magic has a 1 slot use per spell only.

The Wyrd studies his Grimoire each morning (or evening, before he goes to bed) to memorise the
incantations of his grimoire.
The Wyrd decides which incantations are memorised. The same incantation can be memorised for
several uses (up to three).
The wyrd can collect several Grimoires, but only up to three incantations can only be memorised.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- SHEET MAGICK -

All Sheet Magick are 1 use spells

The Tattered Troubadour casts Sheet Magic. Sheet Magick is stored in a Song Book. Sheet Magick, can
be cast over and over again… who gets tired of music? Troubadours must get a strong success in order
for their spell to work

Ode To The Nimble Thief

When sung upon, the listener's DEX is increased by +1 (cannot exceed a DEX of +4)

Lullaby
d3 targets fall asleep.

The Baby Ghouls Grin

The Troubadour plays a detuned and horrid lullaby that sends the shivers down the spine of their
opponent - does not work on the undead.
If the target fails, they flee in terror.

The Tale Of Great Sir Gavyn

Anyone who carries a melee weapon, cannot take dmg on a fumble. Lasts 1 turn.

Slanted & Enchanted

When the troubadour performs this song, a sickly purple haze seems to stream from the hole of the lute
and onto the ground. All enemies in the same zone as the Troubadour must succeed a WIL-test or have
their WIL is reduced by d3 Pips.

The Well of The Three Moons

This song adds 3 hearts to the listener, momentarily - they disappear 1 turn after a fight ends.

The Pied Pipers Preludium

The Troubadour lures small wildlife after her with this enchanting tune.

Disonatic Ddim
The Troubadour targets an enemy, and sends hurtful soundwaves through the air, aimed at the
enemies ears - this is a harmful spell.

29
- SPORE MAGIC -

The Shroom Mailman casts Spore Magic. Spore Magic is not magic per se, but rather spore growth with
a magical effect. Three types of spores are known thus far.

Fungilus Flatilus
The Mailman blows a fart into the wind. The gaseous spore is filled with harmful foul smelling spores.
The gas cloud fills an entire zone (the gas doesn't work, until it's outside the zone it was farted in), so
fellow adventurers must take cover, before the fart is loosened…

Fungilus Fragor
The Mailman tosses a heavy spore that explodes on impact.
These Spores are also used by the mailman to uncover cluttered paths and debris, or stuck doors, as
well as to scare off Giant Beetles and such.
Velox Hirundo
When the Mailman has a special delivery of urgency, he can resort to the spell of Velox Hirundo.
He does so by granting his Mail Snail a special edible spore treat which greatly improves the speed of
the snail.
If the Mail Snail accepts the threat, as they usually do, its speed is increased for one turn. As a side
effect, the snail leaves a burning hot trail of slime - should anyone accidentally cross it, they will get
burned for d3 dmg. The slime consists in zone the snail has crossed/occupies. There is a 2-6 chance of
anyone stepping in the trail, when they move to a new zone.
Additionally, when used in combat, the snail always acts before anyone else, and can move 2 zones
AND may ignore the combat rule of unique actions, eg. The snail can attack twice…

+ Spore Regrowth +
Spores grow back overnight

+ THE CRAWL +

When exploring the doomed dungeon, the game offers a set of rules and procedures that helps the DM
and the players to a better experience of the crawl.

Time
Time is tracked using three different in-game time scales.
A Round
10 seconds, roughly.
Used in combat. A round is over when both sides have had their turn. At the start of each round the
DM rolls the Combat Doom Die.
A Turn
10 minutes, roughly.
Turns are used during dungeon exploration. It takes 1 turn for the party to search a room. Pick a lock,
disarm a trap, listen at doors, etc.
At the start of each turn, the DM rolls the D6 Dungeon Doom Die.
A watch
4 hours, roughly.
There are three watches during the day and three during the night. Each watch the party must rest for
at least a turn - see resting.

Torches
Player starts with a torch each. Torches have 6 “uses”. Each time the DM rolls Expiration on the Doom
Die, a torch depletes one use.

37
Doors
In Dungeons of Doom, a door isn't just a door - it's a challenge, an obstacle or even an enemy… see the
table: Doom Die of Doors.

Traps
Besides the planned traps, placed ahead by the DM, further traps can occur both on the Dungeon Doom
Die and Doom Die of Doors. Roll on the Doom Die of Traps.

Resting
Each watch the party must rest and eat - deplete 1 use of a ration. A ration holds three meals (uses).
The players must keep track of their rations. If the players choose not to rest, they must each pick a
condition.
Resting for the night: if the PC’s get a full night's rest, all conditions are removed.
PC’s can take a short rest of a turn where they eat and drink and regain ½ a ♥ . This, however, can
only be done once per watch.

Searching
It takes a turn to search a room or corridor. PC's usually search for clues, hidden traps, secret doors or
other things of interest.
While searching there is a 1-6 chance that they find either: a torch, food (1 ration), or arrows (d6+6).
The roll is made by the player and the player decides which of the three. If they choose the torch, they
roll another d6 to see how many uses the torch has left.

39
+ THE PROCEDURAL DUNGEON GENERATOR +

The Dungeon’s rooms, chambers and corridors are randomly rolled with 2d6, with a die of each colour.
For the sake of the examples below, let's call one red and the other blue. As a rule of thumb, all
doors/doorways are, if possible, incremented half a square on either side.

+ The Key +

The Red Die: Vertical. 1 red + 2-6 blue is a vertical corridor.

The Blue Die: Horizontal. 1 blue + 2-6 red is a vertical corridor.
Doubles, from 2-5: multiply the roll by 2.
Double 1’s: is a chamber roll - roll the dice again to find the size of the chamber (reroll doubles 1’s).
From chambers all exits are passages, aka doorways leading into corridors.
Double 6’s: unique room. Unique rooms have an odd shape. Roll again: 1. Oval/circular, 2. Pyramidic,
3. Hexagonal, 4. Octagonal, 5. Half an oval/circular, 6. Trapezoid.

Example 1: We roll and get red 4 and 3 blue which give us a 40x30 ft sized room.
Example 2: We roll and get red 5 and blue 1 -> This is a corridor that goes from east to west, or west to
east 30 ft. (the length is halved and rounded up). If the corridor goes into an already drawn area,
consider this to be a one-way secret door.

The starting area:

1. Roll 2d6 for the size of the room. Starting area always has between 2-3 doors.
2. Number of Doors
3. Roll for Door Placement
4. Roll for 2d6 Room Content
5. Roll on the Doors of Doom Table

1d6 Number of Doors (doorway if chamber)

1: no doors (check room for secret doors)
2: 1 door
3-4: 2 doors
5: 3 doors
6: 4 doors

1d6 Door Placement:

1: Same Wall
2: Opposite Wall
3: Left Wall
4: Right Wall
5: Floor - Trap Door (hidden stash of either food/torches/weapon/ a key*)
6: Secret Door (Roll to check)
*This key will open any locked door, but will only function on the first locked door it's used on).

40
2d6 What’s behind the door?
Double 1’s: Chamber (roll chamber size, roll number of doorways, placement of doorways and room
content)
Double 6’s: unique room (roll the unique room, roll number of doors, roll placement of doors)
Doubles 2 - 5: Multiply roll by 2
Red 1’s - ?: (blue evens goes left, blue odds goes right)
Blue 1’s -?: ( red evens goes up, red odds goes down)
On both occasions roll: what's at the end of the corridor?)
All other rolls: A room -> roll 2d6 Room Content

1d6 What's at the end of the corridor?

1. There is a door on the left wall -> corridor continues 30 ft.
2. There is a door on the right wall -> corridor continues 30 ft.
3. The corridor ends at a door. Roll What's Behind The Door?
4. The corridor turns left 30 ft. roll on the table again*
5. The corridor turns right 30 ft. roll on the table again*
6. Is an x-intersection. New corridors branch off from the exciting 30 ft. in each direction
* If the same roll comes up again, go to the paragraph below it.

2d6 Room Content (The blue die is content. The red die is the chance of treasure
1-2: Encounter / 3-6 chance
3-4: Empty / 1-6 chance
5: Puzzle Room / None
6: Lair: 3-6 chance of monster being here (check biome/theme/Factions)/
Double 1’s: Encounter + Stairs Down / 2-6 chance
Double 6’s: Encounter + Stairs Up /2-6 chance

Razzatak The Wyrd, finds himself in a guarded hallway…

Rzzataks player asks the oracle: Is the guard sleeping?

Razzataks players think about the context… he knows it's in

the middle of the night, so maybe there is a chance - on the
other hand, the guard should be rested for his patrol, but
then again, guards tend to fall asleep, don’t they?
Razzataks player judges that there is a Likely possibility that
the guard is sleeping, so he rolls 2d6 and he gets a 2 and a
3. 3 wins and that's a YES, but… the guard is sleeping isn’t
sleeping?...

Razzataks player wonders for a second… Then he has it! The

guard is not sleeping, but he is drunk…
