Dungeon Bash - Play By Blog

I am thinking of running a Dungeon Bash Play By Blog similar to my zombie PBB game currently running.

 If anyone is interested in playing you:

 a) need a copy of "Goalsystem Fantasy" that can be purchased as a PDF for $2.95 here  Unless you are in a small European country intent on destroying the world economy, most people should be able to find a bit of spare change for the small price of the rules.

b) need a photo of your character miniature that you intend to use for the game. You must either post this photo on your web site/ blog so I can save it to use for the game, or send me the photo in an email. How ever you do it, I need a copy of the image of your character.

c) create your character according to the rules mentioned in 'a)' above

d) post your desire to play the game in the comments for this particular post.


Notes - the GoalSystem Fantasy rules are a  bit limited, by comparison, to say AD&D. A full blown set of rules is being created at the moment by the author of GoalSystem Fantasy, but that doesn't help me right now. Thus if you want to play and find the rules a bit limited, I am open to negotiations should you want to play something that isn't covered by the rules.

Bonus points/ rewards will be given to players that can also provide me with photos of NPCs and monsters that I can use for the game.

dungeon bash

For a number of years I have collected to odd fantasy figure with the intention of playing a fantasy game.

Recently I have been taking a hard look at the Hirst Arts bits and pieces with the intention of creating a set of tiles for dungeon exploration games.

As such, I figured I needed to design a dungeon so I would know how many pieces of pre-made Hirst Arts pieces I would need. The good thing about the Hirst Arts web site is they provide many great instructions and ideas for making the type of dungeon that I want to make: Hirst Arts Dungeon

 Being a little bit lazy I thought I would see what I could find on line to help me with my dungeon designs.

Fortunately for me it appears that role players are just as lazy and there were a few free online dungeon generators on line for me to choose from. Out of all the online dungeon generators I looked at, these three fit the bill best for my wants / needs:

The first one I looked at seemed to be the best. If allows you to construct different sized dungeons, add stairs, secret doors and you can remove any dead ends it may generate which prevents silly and pointless parts to a dungeon.
 The generator even numbers and fills the rooms with beasties for you, but I assume that is for a particular set of rules and I will just ignore the text part of the dungeon. The program allows you to save the dungeon as a PDF, and save an image for a player map with out the secret bits: Random dungeon generator 1

Player's Map for random dungeon

The next one is fairly good and is useful for generating a lot of rooms. Unlike the first one the layout is not always logical: dungeon generator 2

This one is very much like the first one, although I can't see a function that lets you print it out. Having said that, it does give you a link so you can create it again if need be: Dungeon generator 3
 One function I like is that you can determine the biggest room size, which I thought was a great function. It doesn't add stairs though.


Having created a dungeon, I will print it out and start planning the game tiles I need for my game.

For rules I might use the "Song of Blade and Heroes" or even keep it very simple and use the old "Fighting Fantasy" choose your own adventure system, or a little RPG game I have called "Dragon Warriors" that has since been reprinted by Mongoose Publishing and this year to be brought out by a company called "Serpent King Games". I have the original rules books, so I will use those.

 There is a great possibility that I will run games of this as a "Play By Blog" for followers of my blog very much like the zombie game being played on my zombie blog.
