Demesne - A FitD Dungeon Building game. (Pre-Alpha)

Demesne - A FitD Dungeon Building game. (Pre-Alpha): Demesne - A FitD Dungeon Building game.  (Pre-Alpha)Publisher: b-design

This is the pre-alpha release of Demesne, a Dungeon Keeper inspired Forged in the Dark Game.   FitD uses the base systems created by John Harper for his excellent Blades in the Dark.

In Demesne, you play to find out whether you and the dungeon you’ve built can survive in a world that despises your very existence, a world where monstrous races have been forced into the dark recesses of the land by the powerful and ever expanding forces of good. You play as a group of these monsters building a dungeon and venturing forth into the Overworld to raid and increase your hoard.

You once belonged to a different dungeon, ruled by a powerful master, but after heroes came calling and overthrew them, what was left of the dungeon fell apart. It was then that you realized that there’s strength in numbers, so you’ve banded together to start building your own dungeon under group leadership. Even if one of you falls, the dungeon will survive. While you begin the game with the intent to create a prospering dungeon, events in the game tend to pull characters in different directions and complicate the situation.

As you dig deep into the earth, building rooms, and recruiting minions to do your bidding, you must build your hoard of gold and secure resources to grow stronger. But as you raid the world for these, the terror you cause spreads and you build notoriety - leading to adventurers taking notice of you and aiming at ridding the world of your presence. Can your minions, locks, and traps fend them off?


I'm actively looking for comments and feedback!  Currently, I'm running two weekly playtest games that have been going really well.  If you're interested in playtesting, or even better GM'ing a playtest, please get in touch or hop on the Discord to chat!  I'd be more than happy to help arrange online games!
