.dungeon
Buy a physical copy on the dreamware store~
.dungeon is the award-winning, fantasy roleplaying game where you explore the depths of a dying, massively multiplayer online game. You'll delve glitchy, polygonal dungeons, come face to face with a cast of original and terrible creatures, and navigate the awkward social situations that internet trolls and lonely gamers provide.
With this PDF and a set of standard dyce you can adventure within .dungeon until your SYNC runs out and it's time to move on. This book contains:
- Tutorialized character creations. Assign dice to stats and begin!
- Dungeon generators and hex procedures.
- 30 original mobs to fight and loot.
- A tutorial island that leads to a 400-hex map for exploration.
The setting of .dungeon is second-nature to anyone who grew up playing video games, MMO or otherwise. Inspire by the digital landscapes of the early 2000's, .dungeon holds a strange world with a giant eye for a sun, an ever-moving hand for a moon, and an entire astral wasteland that rains hazards down upon the surface. If you like weird fantasy and virtual reality, .dungeon mashes those together to give you a deep world to explore.
If you like .hack//sign, alpha minecraft, PAGAN: Autogeny, Final Fantasy X and X-2, Blame!, playing Destiny 1 late at night, Sword Art Online, Skies of Arcadia, Wipeout, and Pokemon Red & Blue, then you'll love .dungeon.
Here's 2 albums of original music made just for .dungeon and free to use in your podcasts, actual plays, or youtube videos.

Hi, snow! I have .dungeon Remastered. There, it says the game is consolidated on this page here, and I can download the latest version, along with legacy pdfs.
However, I don't have access to this version. Is it a different, separate game?
Thanks!
you can still download remastered over on the remasered page. for future purchases i've consolidated everything here <3
Thanks for replying! Just making sure: this one is a different game from Remastered, correct? I'm looking to get this one as well haha.
Does this include the solo quests from the kickstarter? I missed it unfortunately!
yes! the solo quests became a 400 hex map.
Hell yeah!
Hi Snow, been having a blast reading the new edition. The Hand and Eclipse section in page 11&12 seems to have repeat paragraph. Could you take a look at it?
updated!
Big congrats for the Latest Edition, Snow. I love .dungeon.

How does this version relate to remastered? Is this newer? I see this version has color and makes mention of the kickstarter whereas remaster doesn’t but remaster was technically published after this was? I own remaster but it seems as though remaster is now defunct?
From what I've seen online, Remastered is more of a sequel to .dungeon. .dungeon is about playing an MMO at its peak, while Remastered is about returning to an MMO after it's died.
Ah okay. The naming conventions for the series are just tripping me up then. Thanks for the clarification!
I can't overstate how much I wanted a game like this to exist and how impressed I am after reading it. It has so many cool ideas and I look forward to playing it one day.
As someone who is also a big fan of .hack and Code Lyoko, thank you for this!
so the zine add-ons do they add much to the game or am i not missing much?
Is the plaintext version the only one available for digital? I love the art style, so I was looking forward to seeing more of it, but the zip only has a plain text version.
dotdungeonSCREEN.pdf is the digital pdf
I… feel silly. I don’t know why I assumed it was a GM Screen. I didn’t even check it. XD Thank you!!
would characters with no limbs but floating body parts (Like Rayman) work, or is that just a pipedream?
i love rayman so that would be fucking sick
Aight thanks. I'll share the character when I'm done with them if you want.
looks amazing! i just dunno how to really play it or run it so if there's anything that can help id appreciate it :D
Interesting idea!:) It took me back to my childhood when I was plying DOS games including a dungeon crawl (Eye of the Beholder, might and magic etc.). Bt it looks like that this system can be used also for fantasy with sci-fi (or pure sci-fi) genre of game.
I wish a GOoD gaming to you all!:)
I like this idea for a table top roleplaying game. As a fan of the .hack series I like this a lot. I may use this rule set and try to use make my own journey using the SOLIDARITY DEFILEMNT- a mork borg solo solitaire rules. It’s going to be used for questions on the npc or events that happens in the world. Thanks for the community copy offer!
pwease add more community copies i am too broke to afford it. Im sorry if this is a burden, i just really want to try the game.
the remastered edition has tons of community copies rn! but ill add a few here too
The Awards!
.dungeon in 5 minutes!
my introduction to the game:
music to listen to while playing:
Perhaps this is a bit of a dumb question, but I've been rather curious after reading the rules about whether this is meant for one-shots or longer campaigns? I ask because Connection is a finite resource that will be chipped through quickly every time a skill roll is failed, and once it hits zero, it's time for an epilogue. The thing is, though, that the system seems to support larger-scale commitments and worldbuilding, and Connection seems to get chipped down a little too slowly to have it all decay within a four-to-eight-hour one-shot window. This isn't supposed to be criticism, I'm just a little confused as to what the intended experience length is with .dungeon.
The intended experience is to make it last as long as you can, knowing it's going to end anyways. Sorry if that's an "artsy fartsy" answer or something, but it's true. I have no way of knowing how long a group of players could keep it going. And I think that's the fun of it.
Yeah, that makes sense. The Mono no Aware effect of ephemeral things is in full force here, and it's kind of the point.
Very late to this, but the way my campaign group is playing it is that it ends when the sync goes kablooie
Had a chance to read this a few days ago. Amazing, looking forward to playing it with my table some time!!!
loved MBIAC and im excited to check this out!
I just purchased your game and I can't seem to extract the epub document on my phone regardless of the zip program I use. I got the plain text and that's it. Any advice on that? Thank you!
Hm, I'm not sure. If you email me I can send it that way.
thank you! I’m usually pretty tech savvy so I’m a little embarrassed to say I can’t find your email. Where would I find that?
Will this ever get a reprint?
Yes, we're working on one with some edits!
Excellent! I can't wait 💜
can you run connection like the character loses connection to the user rather then the other way around? like they gain more freedom from the players over time.
That sounds like an exciting seed for an adventure!
I made a video highlighting why I think this game is so special, in under 5 minutes! If you're on the fence, you definitely want to pick this one up.
Hi! I'm reading the book right now. At page 17 you describe OUTFIT and MISCELLANEUS, but both the list provided include the same inputs. Probably this isn't intended, it seems a copy/paste problem.
Want you double check it?
.dungeon by is a stylish game that combines fantasy dungeon crawling with virtual elements. Highly recommended!
Is this available preprinted?
Preprinted?
This game looks like a goddamn gem. Will leave a great review when I convince the squad to pull up and play it with me!
hi,
is this game playable on mac? Thanks for answering.
It is a TTRPG. It means you download and read the rules, and play with your friends via your shared imaginations.
Hello,
sorry to bother. A disclaimer: I LOVE your game, and my players too! We've been streaming it a few times, and it's one of the favorite of our audience! <3
The only problem is, I've been waiting for the physical copy for a while now (I live in Italy) and was wondering if there's any way to track the package. :/
Thank you!
Hey Jakob, you can email me at JohnBattle117@outlook.com.
Thank you! :)
Hi i was wondering about the link to the discord - the one from a week ago has expired
https://discord.gg/kGnqqvZDcz
LOVE LOVE LOVE this game! Absolutely deserves 5 stars. My only issue is that the file name (.dungeon) got hidden in my files program on my phone. But I managed to find it. Also, THANK YOU for the epub file. I love being able to port things to my e-reader to read. Just out of curiosity, what program did you use to make it an epub? There's nothing wrong with it, I'm just curious.
Ghostwriter to format the text and then pandoc to do the exporting.
what is the link to the discord?
https://discord.gg/HzRWhTPP
I just missed out on the GOTY physical copy. Is there any plan to print more?
Sometime in 2022.
have been eyeing this up for so long - SUPER excited to have a gander through it! may i also enquire as to where the discord for this game is?
Could someone write a custom class or maybe their own version of content as if it were an expansion to the .dungeon mmo? Like when mmo's come out with new maps and areas after a few years?
Is this game playable online?
There's been a game running online in the discord for a few months!
oh, awesome! ty
