Our take on Novice Dungeon Master
The defining structure is a 30-day dungeon contract: management choices determine the dungeon’s popularity, rank, defense, and eventual ending.
What is Novice Dungeon Master?
Manage a fantasy dungeon under a 30-day contract after the protagonist becomes its master.
Adventurers arrive for different reasons, including seeking herbs, minerals, battles, treasures, dreams, or hopes. Shape their visits by building facilities they want, arranging traps, and placing monsters. Their experiences affect the dungeon’s popularity: satisfaction attracts more visitors, while danger can also draw adventurers seeking risk. Visitors who fail to find what they want reduce the dungeon’s popularity. The contract requires defending the dungeon while increasing its rank. Completing the 30 days leads to an ending determined by the actions taken during management.
