Perils & Parasites

The rich drained the world of its resources, and when the world woke up to what was happening, they chose to build dungeons and fortresses to hide away rather than face the consequences of their greed. The centuries have worn down these once-impervious strongholds, and the desperate inhabitants of the barren world are more desperate than ever to breach these strongholds and claim the resources inside for themselves.

You are the bravest, most capable, or the most foolhardy of these people. You want to break down these fortresses to help those that you love, and to bring vengeance to those that starved you.

This game is designed to be easy to learn with simple but flexible rules. If anything doesn't make sense, contact me and I will fix it! I can't afford an editor so mistakes happen.

This book leaves lots of room for you to fill in your own details about the world and characters. There is enough to run your own adventure, but making your own using these rules is also strongly encouraged.
