Currently rough drafting a new solo dungeon crawler. Can be played solo or with up to 4 people. Card/dice mechanics.

Game mechanics include using dice to generate room, doors, # of monsters and treasure. Also used to check whether things are locked/unlocked.

You see what monster(s) to face using the according dungeon deck. So for a lvl 1 dungeon, you draw from the lvl 1 deck.

Same for treasure. Use the treasure deck.

Combat is dice based, rolling a D6 + STR for the attack roll and D6 + Armor for a defense roll.

Example: I attack the dire wolf that has 10HP, dire wolf rolls D6 for its defense roll. Rolls a 2. Has armor of 1.

2+1=3 DR

I roll my attack. I roll a 3 and have a str of 4.

3+4=7 AR.

I hit and subtract it’s DR from my AR equaling 4 damage. The dire wolf now has 6HP left. If I had rolled an AR of 3 or less I would have missed.

Same process when the monster attacks. You roll DR, it rolls AR. If it’s higher than your DR, the difference is the damage it lands on you. If the AR is lower then your DR, it missed.

You pick a class card and fill out the info, distributing 12 stat points between the 4 stats. Movement is DEX 2 rounded up.

Below is an example of what a room may look like once generated and what you’re play area may look like. Triangle represents player, circle for enemy. Can be interchanged with whatever you’d like, minis, tokens etc.

Also and example of monster and class cards.

So, a comment in a thread here got me thinking about a Rashomon-style session.

The comment was, essentially, how might the story of an event differ as told by two people. ( not an exact quote)

I may never develop this idea further, but was wondering if any of you have tried or read of something along similar lines.

Describe an event based on “facts” obtained from the known evidence; characters, objects, actions, etc.

Establish the characters directly involved, along with their motivations and relationships to each other. (random ?)

Draw up a set of questions about aspects of the event that will be answered by each character. (same questions)

Use your Answer Oracle of choice to determine responses for each question from the involved characters. Either use each character’s previously determined motivations/relationships or new word prompts to flesh out answers to create their account of the event.

Here is where I’m a little stuck.

Would we look to the Oracle to determine the most plausible tale?

Use the Oracle to determine if someone confesses?

Never really know the truth?

Or does this sound like a bust for solo play?
