Hello! Thanks for the questions.
- Boss room is just a plus one room. So if you roll eight rooms, then play eight rooms normally, and add a ninth room as the boss room.
- NPC 's can sell things if it makes sense narratively. As you noted, solo RPG'ing requires some self-initiated rulings that make it go smoothly.
- NPC reactions are just there if you need them. If you've got a story going and don't need some inspiration then skip the oracle npc reaction roll.
- Back tracking is a D6 minus three yes. Did this so that the rooms are almost always empty since you've been through them. But I didn't want people to just go free reign back tracking out of the dungeon to a town to restock items before fighting a boss without some level of risk.
- Sounds like you got some bad luck on that one! Sometimes these rpg's will just get ya!
- Exactly right, "rooms" should be interpreted lightly. Does not have to be a dungeon. Could be any setting.
- Yes food is just a prompt. Nothing behind that really. But if the narrative fits, go with it! Maybe it's fake food and a trap!
Thank you for the questions!!
