About Dungeons of Dredmor

The seals holding Lord Dredmor underground are weakening, and the world needs someone to confront him. Your hero descends into a dungeon populated by Diggles and other ridiculous threats, with odd gods, questionable equipment and frequent death giving the adventure its irreverent tone.

Character creation starts with a selection of skills. In the dungeon, spell schools, unusual weapons and placed traps offer different ways to handle enemies, while crafting gives found materials another use.

What makes it worth a look?

  • A new descent: Random generation changes the dungeon and its treasure between attempts.
  • Unusual spellcraft: Necronomiconomics and Viking runes are among the magical traditions.
  • Material processing: The crafting system includes turning metal ingots into powdered materials.

Is this game right for you or your group?

  • For experimenting through failure. Skill choices and several combat tools give each new character a different set of problems to solve.
  • For a less solemn dungeon. Bizarre monsters, deities and equipment make the fantasy setting deliberately comic.
