As Above, So Below
This document contains rules for playing an adventure game in old school style called "Picaresque" where players explore the depths of dungeons and wander into wilds inspired by various role-playing games. It focuses on delving deep underground, exploring ancient ruins filled with traps to avoid or face off against dangerous monsters lurking within them while also encountering powerful bosses that must be defeated for rewards like magical weapons and equipment worth a fortune in gold coins.

Additionally, it provides tips such as using traps to avoid enemies or sneaking around undetected while avoiding detection by guards that can also be found at various points throughout each dungeon level in order
