A rules-lite, word ad-libbing, fantasy roleplaying, destructible game for up to 5 players, packed into a zine!
Funded on Kickstarter!
What is Dump Quest?Dump Quest is a tabletop roleplaying game with simple rules. The pamphlet contains a series of pages outlining a narrative adventure through which a Game Master will guide their players. However, the construction of these pages is not set in stone! The GM must request nouns, adjectives, numbers, and more from their players to modify the contents of each encounter, ensuring that neither Player nor Game Master can be certain exactly where their story is heading.
Our first issue of Dump Quest is styled as a classic fantasy dungeon crawl, featuring (possibly) a spooky witch, a mysterious treasure, a sticky floor, a dangerous cult, a giraffeamulet, a soggy wizard, and *lots* of lava!
CharactersEach player is provided a character sheet at the beginning of the game. This provides the player with their list of special, single-use abilities. However, each ability has missing words. Players request words from their teammates to flesh out their abilities, without knowing exactly how they will be used.
The AdventureEach page of the adventure provides the Game Master with the essential information to run the encounter, broken into the following sections:
Players must progress through each encounter using their character’s special actions. If the player can describe how their action fits into the scene, it is considered successful. However, the Game Master is free to impose any consequences they desire based on the action they used.
Final Notes
Dump Quest intends, by design, to create absurd, yet whimsical, roleplaying situations. Your party’s Fighter might end up using a Tiny Cleaver to lockpick the chains off a captive Delicious Bard dangling above a pool of Lime Jell-O, and this is OK!
Throughout the game, you’ll write all over pages, modify art with your own art, and tear components out of the pamphlet as your group dredges this story out of a word salad and into reality.
