I purchased the game a couple years ago. Building out your own dwarf fortress is really enjoyable. It has a good balance between creative interpretation and mechanical structure. If you like the idea of a "create a map" game but are overwhelmed with choices/interpretation in something like Ex Novo, this gives a more narrow focus and is worth a try.
I made a short review of the game on my substack: https://abstr.substack.com/i/100521089/rpg-delve To summarize: ( + ) The systems successfully drive a specific narrative without being too hands-on.
( - ) It's hard to be emotionally invested without a central figure. (I let you judge if that might apply to you.)
Hello, could you clarify one sentence, I am confused by it's meaning. "Dorms: Increases the max number of Units each adjacent Room can house by 50% per grid of Dorms". Not sure what is meant by "per grid of Dorms". Thank you
I really do love this game, but how does the pdf NOT have bookmarks, in a game that requires constant flipping back and forth to look things up? It was such a nightmare I added bookmarks myself in Adobe Acrobat. That said, fantastic game!

I have wanted to play this game ever since I learned about solo dice games!

Are there ever going to be more community copies?
I just played this together with my SO and immediately had to come buy a copy for myself! So much fun! What a great game!

Just bought everything for Delve, Rise, and Umbra. What happened to Quests though??
It's been taken down until I can rework it as there were daily questions about certain mechanics not working.
thanks for the quick reply! i look forward to when it comes out again
Love it!! Combined it w/ To Care Is To Cairn and now I'm basically got an archaeology plotline for my campaign. Excellent.

The Dwarf Generator supplement doesn't have the name "Urist" in it. Other than that, REALLY COOL!
Link to "Quests" expansion looks like it's broken :/
Maybe not broken, but the page is private... So we don't have access to it...

No bookmarks because I had no idea how to add them in. Glad you enjoyed it despite the egregious flipping :)
