Downcrawl
A tabletop roleplaying engine designed for creating open-ended adventures to be run by GMs featuring randomly generated content within a fictional underworld called "The Deep" with tables of fungi having peculiar effects, procedures for generating new people and creatures in the game, tips on running spontaneous campaigns where players can explore six directions, random encounter generators that focus on strange situations rather than monsters or yet another monster to fight. There is also an extensive journey system featuring underground expedition rules which allow GMs to create their own hexcrawl with a sense of wonder while maintaining momentum and narrative flow using the roll-dice feature instead of success/failure for determining outcomes, learning tips on how to generate unique intelligent creatures or seek out fungi druggists. DownCrawl offers players tools like random encounter generators that focus solely on strange situations rather than just monsters in addition to a full Journey system with underground exploration rules all centered around the world's many language and race changes as well as maps constantly changing throughout, providing an infinite universe for GMs looking to create their own unique experience.
