Darkfast Dungeons: Fantasy Adventure Game Basic Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Average Rating (3 ratings)

Note: as many people have asked, this game is more of a complete traditional tabletop role-playing game. It is fully compatible with Darkfast Dungeons which is a complete and independent print and play tabletop dungeon crawl miniatures game with minor role-playing elements.

The Darkfast Dungeons tabletop game is a fun and easy to learn print and play tabletop game for the whole family. This Fantasy Adventure Game expands the game to a full-blown Role Playing Game that's easy to learn and full of nuance and strategy. Character creation takes minutes and creates a unique hero ready for adventure. 

The Basic Game includes eight character origins and eight character classes, spells, miracles, magic items and 34 pages of monsters and animals. There are even rules for GM-less and Solo Play! Totally compatible with Save the Day RPG.

Choose from eight Origins

Screen_Shot_2021-03-19_at_5.25.50_PM.png

Combine with eight Classes. 

The basic resolution system is very Rules Lite. Tasks and combat are resolved with a simple roll of 1d6 vs 1d6 modified by Ability, Talents, and modifiers. The outcome difference determines the effect of the action. 

May be used with Darkfast Dungeons or any other classic dungeon crawl game.

Sorry I didn't notice discussions. I haven't been getting alerts. Making a POD is on my list of second quarter things for 2024 to do. I am hopeful to get to it sooner than that.

So...what is the combat system like? Abstract theatre of the mind, or tactical miniature game within a game?

Combat can be mini based (it IS based one and compatible with a tactical miniature tabletop game), but I've run theatre of the mind just fine. I would just keep track of distances on a tracking scrap of paper, etc. One of the reasons I kept it more tactical is for the option of solo play.

Really enjoying the rules so far but have some questions and minor errata (i think)

Errata: Under Game Turn, it should be their nor then? The example character sheet is missing the Dark Secret Fey Aspect? Under Thief Talenst its says Sneak, whereas the rest of the rules refer to this talent as Sneaky?

Now some rules questions/clarifications:

1. Can a new character start with more than one rank in one Talent?
2. Can you elaborate on why passice Rolls are a thing? They seem to be an odd call out and I cant really understand the reasoning behind it considering it seems to be a slight shift away from the smooth, roll ability + talent vibe the rest of the game gives.
3. Why do Mages start with 3 Ability, which in turn makes them basically better fighters and all around dungeoneers? Im guessing it's to give them more Power? Wouldn't it make more thematic sense to just make the Magic Power Talent say something like "You always have Ability +1 power points"?...See more

These are great questions. Let me see what I can do.
I'll get to work on the bookmarks soon. I want to make sure it all fits together properly.
I will get to the Errata you mentioned this week:
Game Turn errata fixed, thanks. The character is missing Fey Aspect, yes, I will see what I can do to fix it. It is supposed to read Sneaky, good catch.

Rules:
1. Yes, as per page 37. The number of Ranks in a Talent may not exceed the character's Ability.
2. Passive rolls exist because of the Take 5 and Take 6 rules. It reduces some rolling for the GM. If it's not vibing for you just make a roll as usual.
3. Mages are more experienced and knowledgable in their training. It's funny, I always just gave them an extra Ability point. I suppose there are so many things in the game setting that just want to eat mages, maybe that was it? Also their lack of combat skills in a mostly combat-heavy game meant they needed a bit of a push. They are also always a few rolls away from...See more

Thanks for answers David!

Ohhh, so a passive roll is actually just taking the average (3) when someone isn't under undue pressure? I completely misread that! Sorry!

I guess my "Mages starting with Ability 3" concern is that it also has more immediate advantages because of "If you want to break down a door, avoid running away in fear or not be knocked out after losing Health Points you will need to make an Ability Check" & "Combat rolls are the total of the Character’s Ability plus the roll of one six-sided die"

It just seems........well odd, that a mage would be better at these things than a Fighter, Barbarian etc out the gate. In a game that really only has one core "stat" starting with a value of 3 as opposed to 2 seems like a massive across the board advatnage?

My next question is, when levelling up can you only select talents from your class/origin? My gut says if the fiction says it's ok go with what you want,...See more

These are good points. The extra Ability is balanced with a Dark Secret, but as I said, a Hedge Wizard option just means drop the extra Ability and Dark Secret. My wizards always tended to be a bit more physically capable maybe?
I hope the changes (thanks for the keen eye) will be minimal at this point.

For those wondering, the mages were finally given a starting Ability of 2, just like the other classes. No worries. It makes sense. The board game has some other options this way, but the Mages are more in line with the other starting characters for the game now.

I'm just making sure the PDF is ok after some errata. I will sit down and work on this in the next little bit. It's a good idea.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
