Welcome to the Dungeon
A downloadable game
You are the overseer of the realm of darkness, the supreme ruler of all monsters, known to the humans as The-Tainted-One. Despite these grand titles and immense responsibilities, you just want to live a quiet, peaceful life with your skeleton friends and pet slimes. But why do the humans find the need to invade your domain, seeking to destroy you and disrupt your peace? Fine. If they insist on war, you will give them just that.
In Welcome to the Dungeon, you play as the Dark Lord. Your goal is to build a dungeon filled with traps and monsters to thwart these pesky Heroes. Each victory against these intruders earns you resources, enabling you to enhance and expand your dungeon. Hopefully, you will be prepared to face the ultimate adventuring party led by the Chosen One.
In this game, you may:
- Build your dungeon and defeat all the so-called Heroes
- Capture Heroes
- Resolve the war between the dogs and the bloodsuckers (?)
- Matchmake Monsters (??)
- Romance an Orc (???)
- Romance the Hero (??????????)
Welcome to the Dungeon is a solo TTRPG that requires:
- A set of dice, including a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20
- A means to record your progress, such as paper or a digital note-taking tool.
- A drawing tool will be useful for planning and marking your dungeon layout

Hey! I know I'm slightly late, but I decided to pick up the game, see how it goes (like the concept so far), but was slightly confused by the "Adventure Phase". There is a chance that a previous hero matches the description of a hero in the new party. In such a case (according to the rulebook), we roll 1d6 and see what happens. However, what happens if the hero retires or doesn't show up? Does the party have one less member (3 instead of 4, for example) or do I replace them with someone new? I was thinking on picking one of these options, before each game (or maybe between "Invasion" and "Setup" phases), depending on if I want an easier time or not, but would like to know what actually happens here. (God, I rambled on) Thanks!
Hi! So in my head when I wrote the rule, if the hero retires or doesn't show up, then it is replaced by another hero. It's just to give a chance for a hero to never return.
Of course you are free to have one less hero or so. I think it could also make the story interesting, like this hero is a coward and runs off without telling their teammates, that kind of story.
Ah, I see. Just wanted to be sure. Didn't run into this situation yet, but it's good to know. Thank you and best of luck for future projects!
Hello! Love this concept but i do have a question, what is the starting point amount in the first round?
This is so embarrassing 😭I thought I put that in and that's such an important thing too. It should be 30 points. I've updated the PDF. Thank you so much for telling me this. Thankssss!
Thank you for the response!
