Downcrawl
 |
Downcrawl is a system to help gamemasters run randomly generated¸ open-ended adventures in a weird and fantastical underworld called The Deep¸ Deep Down: a place so far from the surface that the sun and sky are only legends¸ and so vast that no bounds can be placed on its dimensions or contents.
Compatible with any fantasy roleplaying system¸ Downcrawl contains rules for taking dangerous journeys through unmapped places¸ tables of fungi with curious effects¸ procedures for GMs to generate strange new peoples¸ places¸ and encounters¸ and tips for running a satisfying¸ spontaneous campaign when your players might explore in any of six directions. Oh¸ and huge intelligent spiders who eat faces. Watch out for those.
