 Foreword Index
This is a solo Roll and Write dungeon crawler as How to play - 3
an entry for the 2022 DURF jam. For now it’s an Creating a Character -3
unedited an un-tested version of the game but
things will be tweaked and improved on the Recruiting Hirelings - 3
following weeks, hopefully will be the base for a Rolling the Dice - 3
bigger and more complex game like 100D
dungeons or Advanced Hero quest.
Also an important source of inspiration are
games like Note-quest and Basilisk, the later
one gives this one that scope of raiding a single
dungeon with a single objective in mind, defeat
the last evil!
Finally while I try to add some of the quirkiness
of the original DURF but you will find this
adventure is a bit darker featuring evil cultist
and old gods from other dimensions bringing
unspeakable knowledge and doom, hope you
enjoy those themes as I do, the important thing
is to have fun and not to be so serious about
them.
Lastly you will find some rules based on DURF
by Emiel Boven in this book that will help you
have a solo adventure, but feel free to add more
players, add some house rules if things are a bit
harder or even add more tables if you wish. The
more important thing is to have fun.

How to Play
In order to play The rise of Nidroth the bare
essentials are a pencil, grid paper, a 20 sided
dice (D20) and a pair of six sided dice (D6). (Still
is suggested to print all adventure sheets, these
include a character sheet and a dungeon sheet).
Create a Lone Adventurer to delve into
Lerwisburg Castle. Reach the top floor and
defeat the Mad Sorcerer Vrilkan before he
summons Nidroth Lord of Decay into this
world. But be quick, you only have until
midnight before all hope is lost.
