Adventures Dark and Deep™ is a tabletop fantasy role-playing game inspired by the first edition of the world’s most popular RPG. It aims to take that original vision and streamline it in some places, expand it in others, and generally make it everything it could have been. It uses six main statistics, a number of unique sub-systems for combat, magic, and skills, which encourages experimentation by the game master, and is not linked to any particular setting, allowing game masters to design the sort of world they and their players want; everything from dungeon crawling and exploration to massive narrative storytelling on a world-saving scale.

Are you just starting out?

You’ll want Adventures Dark and Deep™ Lite, which strips everything down to a sleek, yet fun, core, all in a single book for game masters and players alike. There are five character classes, a cap on experience level, and a trimmed down list of monsters, but you can still get years of enjoyment out of the game.

Ready to dive in to the full experience?

The Adventures Dark and Deep™ Core Rules and Core Rulebook have everything you and your players could ever want. There are more character classes, endless experience level progression, nearly a thousand monsters, and hundreds of spells and magic items.

Still want more?

There are also expansion books that take you on journeys into new genres and options. You’ll find everything from Lovecraftian horror to fantastic adventures based on Chinese mythology and Wuxia films, a book of random tables to help inspire your imagination or play solo.

Just want the new stuff?

Are you already playing some other game and just want to add in the new stuff from the Adventures Dark and Deep™ Core Rulebook and Core Bestiary? We’ve got you covered. The Book of Lost Lore and Book of Lost Beasts allow you to just add in the new classes, monsters, magic items, and so on. Take what you want, leave what you don’t. Want to add mountebanks to your game, but not dark elf player characters? Go right ahead; everything is completely modular.

You don’t need these books if you have the core books!
