Info

Each Dungeon should start with at least 2 DANGERS – the villain, and the location. For larger groups (5 or more, you start with 3 or more). Then, for each Danger Level, you can add 1 additional Danger. Example: You have a group of 5 players, so you will start with 3 Dangers (5/2 rounded up is 3). They have decided to go on a Really Dangerous Quest (Danger Level +1) and the Party Leader is Level 4 – so the DL is 5. Your dungeon will have 8 Dangers (maybe a villain, three locations, 2 groups of minions, a miniboss and a Monstrous Edge.) Below is list of Dangers that you can add. dangeRs! DANGER THE BIG BAD Every Adventure has to have a big bad. A big bad is made just like any Warhamster Character (meaning that it has a job, stat dice, and levels). It’s level is equal to the Danger Level of the Dungeon. Grab a BIG BAD Sheet and fill in the particulars. The Big Bad usually is in the last room of the dungeon. DANGER Dungeon Room (Location) For each Danger spent, you can add another “room” to the Dungeon. All dungeons start with at least 1 room. A selection of starter rooms are included with this game. Each room is made up of a 6x6 graph map – with at least 1 “Exit” from the room. DANGER Bigger, Badder, Better! You can increase the level of the Big Bad by one, at the cost of one Danger. DANGER MINIONS! Minions come in groups of 4 (i.e. you get 4 minions for each Danger spent in building the Dungeon). To create a minion, you just grab the “Minion Card” for the MONSTER FAMILY type selected. Minions are like any character, but they only have 1 HIT (meaning that if you hit them once, they die). DANGER Boss Monster Boss Monsters are harder than minions, but not the big bad. You can buy 1 Boss Monster for each Danger spent. To create a Boss Monster, grab the appropriate MONSTER FAMILY card, and use the BOSS stats (including the Hits Die). Boss Monsters can appear in any room. DANGER Monstrous Edge For 1 Danger, you can add an edge to all of your minions and bosses. +Tough: All of your monsters get +1 Armor Defense. +Fast: All of your monsters add +1 squares to Move Actions. +Fire/Frost/Adjective Denoting Hazard: All of your Monsters gain the power +Immunity (to something). So, you could have Frost Goblins (that are immune to cold), Fire Goblins (immune to Fire), or Crotch Goblins (immune to dirty kicks in the pants). +Flaming: All of your monsters are covered in flames doing +1d4 DAM on a hit. +Strong: All of your monsters do +2 DAM. +Sniper: All of your monsters have the RANGED WEAPONS power. DANGER Environmental Hazard For each Danger spent, the dM can add an environmental hazard to the Dungeon (this hazard affects all rooms in the dungeon). Some sample hazards are listed below, feel free to add more. Wild – The dungeon is considered to be wilderness, and all of the surfaces are rocky and hard to cross. Reduce all Movement by 1 square. Beasties and ‘Oids can move without penalty. Ice – The dungeon is slippery and cold. Any failed REFLEX check results in the player falling on their tuckus, and having to spend an action to stand back up. Character wearing bikinis take a penalty dice on all actions – since it’s nipply. Mold – The Dungeon is covered in poisonous mushrooms, pollen, and dripping stalactites. The Party suffers a penalty dice to all STRENGTH rolls, and is at -2 BEEF DEFENSE for the adventure. Hostile Workplace – This dungeon is really out to kill you. All Minions are +1 Level. Dark – The entire dungeon is dark. Unless someone has some light, the Adventurer’s take a penalty dice to all actions. Lava – Areas of water and such like are actual boiling hot magma. Any critter or player that enters it takes 1d8 damage per turn.
The Monster Menu To create a BIG BAD, use the same rules for creating an ADVENTURER. You may decide to give it any “race” (from Vampire to Were-avocado), but use the rules for stats and powers like any player character. To determine the stats for Boss Monsters and Minions, you can use the handy reference charts included here (or use the MONSTER SHAKER – still in development, but soon to our website). 1) Select a Monster Family 2) Determine the Danger Level (usually the DL of the Dungeon, unless the dM has spent skulls or dangers to make them tougher). 3) Write down the STAT DICE for the Monster Type 4) Roll the HIT DIE once for each Danger Level (for Bosses only) 5) Determine powers, damage, and defenses – by referencing the Danger Level on the Charts below 6) For each DL, your minions and boss monsters have every power listed up to and including that level 7) Name (and describe) your new found monster. Example: You look at your MADLIBrary and find that you get ‘OID minions and a Big Bad named Vorthos the Flavorful (a wizard oppressed with chocolate). It’s Danger Level 5, and you spend one danger to purchase a Boss Monster (a Weird Chocolate Pudding). For the ‘OID minions, you reference on the chart and get: SLAM and COOL WEAPONS powers, d8 damage, defenses of Armor 8 Beef 9 Smarts 7 Luck 7. You decide that they are “Special Dark Goblins”. For the Level 5 Weird Boss, you get Claw, Hide &Sneak, and Coward as powers, roll a d4 5 times for HITS, and have defenses of Armor 9 Beef 8 Smarts 7 and Luck 7. You call him Chuckie, the Chocolate Pudding. Monster Families There are 5 basic Monster Families (all part of a well-balanced diet of Adventure): Beasties, Undead, ‘Oids, Darklings, and Weird. Each Family determines what type of dice to roll for each STAT, and has a special Edge/Bogie. Beasties: Beasties are animals, mythological creatures, dragons, and assorted possible wild game. Beasties are generally not happy to see an Adventurer, but won’t attack unless provoked (or really hungry). All Beasties do their BEEF in damage (due to sharp claws and pointy teeth). Undead: The Undead are the hideous animated remains of the once living. Ghosts, vampires, and zombies are all branches of the Undead Family Tree. The ‘Dead hate the living, and will always attack them in search of blood, brains, or sheer malicious fun. The Undead have +Immunity (Sharp Objects, Poison, and Disease). Unfortunately, they can’t go out in the sunlight, or they take 1 DAM per Turn. ‘Oid: A catchall term for all of the semi-intelligent subterranean greenskinned races: Orks, Goblins, Trolls, Ogres, etc. ‘Oids generally like to eat Adventurers and steal their stuff, since ‘Oids don’t usually have access to the shopping centers of the Manlands. Even puny ’Oids are crafty fighters and deal +1 DAM on TOHIT rolls. Due to really thick skin, every ‘Oid starts with 4 Armor Hits. Darkling: Every race (except for humans) has an evil subterranean counterpart that hates their Above World cousins with such intensity that their little faces are sometimes just a mass of hate wrinkles. Usually this is the result of an ancient blood feud or Thanksgiving argument that caused them to move underground and plot the demise of the sun-filled world. (We’ve all had Thanksgivings like that.) Most Darklings look just like their cousins, except their skin is coal black, they have white hair, and they hate everything their cousins love. Drowlings hate forests and hugs. Dwurflings hate mead and storytelling. Gnumenlings hate knick-knacks and love paddy whacks. Thirdlings hate farming and smoking. Eighthlings hate everything (and are bigger cheaters and liars than Quarterlings and half as tall). Ratlings much prefer sewers to cedar chips. Darklings use the same Stat Dice as their Above World brethren. Weird: This is the scientific category for everything else, the weird stuff – like Gelatinous Cubes, Eater Rooms, Walking Statues, and High School Science Teachers. Weird creatures have an advantage since they don’t have to make any sense – Giant Fuzzy Death Chickens, anyone? *Shameless Plug: While many people think Kobolds are ‘Oids (or worse yet, little scaly dragon people) – they are not green skinned at all but usually have fuzzy orange fur, sharp claws, and pointy teeth. They like to eat babies, hate chickens, and are definitely Beasties!
