A rules-lite, word ad-libbing, Western roleplaying game for up to 5 players, packed into a zine! Funded on Kickstarter! What is Dump Quest?Dump Quest is a single session tabletop roleplaying game with simple rules. The zine contains a series of escalating encounters through which a Game Master will guide their players. However, key elements of these encounters are not set in stone! Players provide nouns, adjectives, scary monsters, and even more chaotic elements for their GM to incorporate into the story. The party never knows how these words will be used until the impact of their decisions is read back to them creating a one-of-a-kind, wild adventure for every play-through.

At the start of each encounter, players provide the Game Master with words to fill in the blanks
