Introduction
OZARK’S
FORUM RULES
1. No bigots. No tolerance for the intolerant.
2. Racism is an auto-ban. No one cares if 
you’re “just joking.”
3. Trans rights are human rights.
4. We are strictly anti-facist.
5. No bootlickers.
6. Auto-ban for anyone who willingly invades 
the safe spaces we have set up for a variety 
of marginalized identities.
7. If you’re questioning whether or not to spoiler-
warning something, just do it. This includes 
images and possibly triggering material. 
8. Forum moderators are not special or given 
unique privileges. They are the garbage 
collectors of the site. They clean up messes 
and help enforce bans. We cycle through 
moderators every few months.
9. Similarly, devs are not given special 
privileges within the community. This is 
your space. We have our own spaces just 
for us elsewhere. 
10. We are liberal with the ban button. No one’s 
got time for that.

GLOSSARY
Roleplaying Game. What you’re reading now 
and will be playing soon.
The world of .dungeon. Also the name of the 
“sad god” in the game’s lore.
Massively Multiplayer Online game. World of 
Warcraft is probably still the cultural touchstone. 
Everything inside the game of .dungeon. The 
world of the game itself.
“In Real Life.” Everything outside the game. The 
world we live in right now. The world where 
we sit to play the game.
The standard set of dice includes a d20, a d12, 
two d10’s, a d8, a d6, and a d4.
“The Chain.” The set of dice in ascending order, 
from d4 to d20. Going up the chain means 
using the next largest dice (you can’t go past a 
d20). Going down the chain means using the 
next smallest dice (below a d4 is 0, meaning 
instant failure). 
The people you are playing the game with, 
either at the table, over voice chat, or through 
text. Often called “Players,” or “PCs.”
The virtual character you create to explore the 
virtual world. Exists only in the virtual world.
“Players Unknown.” GM-controlled players. 
Fictional people who exist IRL and create 
Avatars to explore the virtual world.
Every object, NPC, and mob in the game. If it’s 
inside the game, it’s an entity. 
Non-Player Characters. Pieces of code within 
the game with predetermined dialog and 
interactions. Not real people.
Hostile entities. Monsters. Creatures.

Random Number Generator. A short hand for 
“random chance” or luck.
Traditionally called a “Class” in RPGs. Grants 
your avatar bonuses while playing.
An ability that references the real world. The 
fictional VR headset used to play the game 
scans you and your environment to allow 
cross contamination. 
The currency of .dungeon.
An expendable resource for travel and upkeep. 
An expendable crafting resource.
The cost to use and maintain certain entities 
like pets, vehicles, and structures.
An entity being attacked by a weapon or spell is 
that ability’s “target.”
Everything targetable by melee, spell, or 
ranged attacks.
All entities and spaces that are within melee 
range of the target.

HELP MENU
8 .DUNGEON/
At any time, you can pause your game to take a 
step back and collect yourself. When the game 
is paused, nothing can harm your character 
and your avatar is temporarily removed from 
the situation until you unpause.
In the Help Menu you can adjust things like 
difficulty, graphics, and audio, setting the game 
to better fit your needs. Lowering the 
graphical fidelity removes the aesthetic gore. 
Changing the difficulty will help guide your 
character to content you will enjoy. And audio 
settings can be altered to enable in-game hints 
or remove the sometimes-overwhelming 
original soundtrack.
You can also save your game state and return 
at a different time, or just exit the game and 
return to your last checkpoint. This is helpful if 
the situation you find yourself in is too 
overwhelming. Remember! If you do not have a 
previous checkpoint, you can always return to 
Tutorial Town through the main menu.

THE SERVER HOST
To create a server in .dungeon, one player takes 
on the role of Server Host (sometimes called a 
Game Master in other games). Their job is to 
run the world’s Entities—its mobs, NPCs, and 
objects, hostile or otherwise—making sure they 
react appropriately to the PCs’ actions. The 
Host will run dungeons, give rewards for 
quests, and roleplay as the PUGS gaming in 
Annwn. Later chapters in this book will have all 
the tips you need to be a Server Host! For now, 
gather your friends and just start playing. 
Tutorial Town will walk you through 
everything you need and teach you how to run 
the game while your friends learn to play.

You awake in an open cage. A broken key in the 
lock. Annwn’s voice echoes from above, 
“Welcome to our world. Take your time. Don’t 
be afraid.”
The cage sits in a cupped palm beneath an 
orrery of 12 hand signs, all rotating around a 
giant, glowing eye.
After being severed, the left hand of Annwn 
joined the Sun in the sky as a celestial body. The 
largest of .dungeon’s natural satellites, it rotates 
on a constantly shifting axis which puts it in 
varying degrees of eclipse with the Sun.
At your feet is your gift, determined by your 
birth month and its corresponding hand sign. 
This is all you were left with.

safety. Tears after use.
WOLF. Dungeon Foil. Removes you and one ally 
from a dungeon or encounter. Tears after use.
CUB. Hafgan’s Foil. Heals all statuses for you and 
all allies. Tears after use.
BUTTERFLY. Lon. A floating orb creature that 
can hold one item for you.
GOOSE. Firebombs (3). Each bomb destroys 3 
d4’s from an encounter when used.

Painted statues of .dungeon’s polyhedral 
pantheon: The d20, d12, d10, d8, d6, and d4. These 
are the organs of Annwn, left behind as she tore 
herself apart. Assign them to your stats.
You bring four stats with you into the virtual 
world. These are your real-world traits. Assign 
four of your dice to them.
BUILD: System mastery, character 
optimization, the crunch of the game.
META: Knowledge of the game, its setting, and 
its development.
PRESENCE: Your senses, charisma, and 
immersion in the virtual world.
HANDS: Your reaction time, hand-eye 
coordination, and precision.
Assign one of the two remaining dice to Tilt. How 
you keep your cool when the virtual world is 
unfair. Other RPGs call this a “save” or a “saving 
throw.” Whenever your character would take on 
a status effect, roll your Tilt dice. Getting a 4 or 
over is a success, avoiding the status.
Place your remaining dice in RNG. Also known as 
“luck” in other RPGs, RNG rolls are done for 
random events, loot drops, and other acts of 
chance the Server needs to account for. You can 
also roll RNG against an NPC to see if they are 
nearby, or to determine who gets targeted by the 
Dragon’s fire attack.

of the sad god. Her four sides 
are pained, angry, violent, 
and hungry.

Stone bricks erode into ruins. A tree clips

ROOM THREE
18 .DUNGEON/
ROOM FOUR
A Goblin fumbles with spears on the 
barracks wall. They clang and clash onto the 
floor. A garden grows from the walls. When 
the door opens from Room 3, the Goblin is 
startled and attacks!
DICE. Monsters are dice! In a contest, roll its 
dice. If it loses, the dice is removed. When a 
monster has no dice, it’s dead.
BONUS. If a monster has bonuses to contests, 
they’re listed here.
INIT. Initiative. PCs have to roll over this to go 
before the monster in combat!
MORALE. PCs have to roll over this to 
communicate with the mob(s). Mobs have to 
roll over it when making a morale check.
DROPS. Unique drops are listed here!
When the Goblin attacks, determine turn order 
by rolling initiative. Each player rolls their 
HANDS dice and compares their number to the 
Goblin’s Initiative: Rolling over means you go 
first, tying or going under means you go after 
the Goblin.
Most weapon differences are purely cosmetic. 
Each PC can find any weapon they can imagine 
here (and one quiver), but all the weapons from 
this room are made of wood. (See 54. for more 
info on weapons.)
Simple weapons are one-handed swords, 
folding knives, gauntlets, brass knuckles, 
walking sticks and other such weapons. 
Greater weapons are buster swords, katanas, 
scythes, big pairs of scissors, double sided 
blades, and other such weapons. 
To attack with melee, roll BUILD + Melee against 
the Goblin’s d4 (this is called a Contest). Win 
and the Goblin is destroyed. If you lose, 
subtract the difference from your Sync (this is 
called takingdamage).

Ranged weapons are crossbows, longbows, 
blow darts, throwing stars, and other such 
ranged weaponry. You cannot use a ranged 
weapon while in melee with another 
combatant. All ranged weapons need quivers. 
Quivers are depleted by the end of each session 
and must be replaced/replenished with Bytes. 
To attack with ranged, roll HANDS + Accuracy 
against the Goblin’s d4. Win and the Goblin is 
destroyed. If you lose, subtract the difference 
from your Sync.
Your damage type is determined by the 
aesthetic of your weapon. (See 54. for details.)
Everyone shares one pool of Sync that starts at 
100. It’s reduced every time a player takes 
damage. See (49.) for the Sync Chart.
Mobs are made out of dice. When it's their turn 
in initiative, roll a mob’s dice to deal that 
damage directly to the party’s Sync.
When you defeat a mob, roll RNG to see what 
loot it drops!

A cylindrical room carved with glorious 
champions sporting various y2k aesthetics. 
Three pillars sit in the center of the room, 
illuminated by light cutting in from the 
ruined roof. The pillars hold a shield, a 
sword, and a staff respectively.
The beautiful voice floats down once again. 
“Power sleeps within you. If you give it form, 
it will give you strength.”
When a pillar is approached, the voice 
speaks about its Role.
SWORD: “The power of the fighter. Brute 
strength. Is this the power you seek?”
SHIELD: “The protection of the companion. 
Calming presence. Is this the power you seek?”
STAFF: “The majesty of the spirit. Blessed healer. 
Is this the power you seek?”
Roles grant you in-game abilities or bonuses. 
DPS.
All combat rolls count as +1. 
Tank.
Once per encounter you can reduce incoming 
Sync damage to you or a party member by d6. 
Support.
All healing you do or take counts as +2. This 
counts for items, magical effects, and Rest Dice.

path is set,” and opens the door to the next room.

/REMASTERED 21
A circular dining room, dominated by a large 
table carved from a mighty stone. Foods and 
drinks mold into beautiful arrangements. 8 
Goblins pick their teeth with the bones of 
previous adventurers, lit by a wax-crusted 
chandelier hanging from a rusted chain.
Roll initiative! 
[GOBLIN;D:D4,B:-,I:4,M:6,DR:-]
Contests are what dice rolls are called in 
.dungeon. You might see or hear “roll a Melee 
Contest” or “Contest the Goblin’s initiative.” That 
just means to roll your Stat dice + a relevant 
skill against either an opponent's dice or a static 
number decided by the Server.
Two or more players can work together on a 
contest, rolling their dice and choosing the 
higher one to compare against the Server. 
Remember! Mobs can do the same to you.
When you succeed in a contest against a hostile 
mob, you can choose to do a stunt to it instead of 
destroying one of their dice. Stunts allow you to 
disarm, trip, or grapple your opponent. 
Remember! They can do the same to you.
Monsters deal damage directly to the party’s 
Sync. When initiative reaches the monster, roll 
one die per type of monster (so even if there are 
10 Goblins, just roll one die to represent them all) 
and deal that much Sync damage. This damage 
can be mitigated by Defense and shields.
Whenever you fail a Contest, you can mark a 
respawn to let it kill your avatar. This avoids any 
Sync damage, removes any statuses your avatar 
has, and respawns you back at the nearest 
checkpoint. You’ll return to your Party at the 
end of the encounter.
When the Goblins are defeated, two doors are 
revealed. One to Room 7, and one to Room 9.

A regal bedroom filled with wilting, wooden

allows you to customize your avatar and select 
one of the starting origins if you so desire.
There’s an illusory wall here hiding a door to 
Room 8.
Use the variety of sliders to adjust aspects of 
your avatar’s appearance, including color, hair, 
eyes, limbs, and body type. Since .dungeon was 
created in the late 90’s, its aesthetics have 
stayed there and in the early-2000’s. 
AVATAR
ROOM EIGHT
An altar for the Three Fingers. A spit of sunlight 
falls in through a crack in the roof, falling across 
the polygonal flower textures that cover the 
floor around the altar. Between the three fingers 
is a tome holding the spell “Heal.” Only one 
person can take and hold the spell.
Annwn bit off and spat out three, rebellious 
fingers that refused to listen. Each is named for 
an original Alpha Playtester who found and 
defeated Hafgan.
HAWTHORNE. The Skeleton Queen, ruler of the 
icy wasteland. The Skeletons and Werewolves 
are hers and hers alone.
ALYX. Holder of the Horn of Dragoons, one of 
the Ideas. Without her, Dragons would have 
stayed in their slumber.
MEGALONIA. The mother of all gLiches. 
Considered by the lore to be the most 
powerful magic user in .dungeon, holding the 
record for Most Spells Known by a single user.

“Stand amid the stars and select the ones that

DEFENSE. A character’s base damage reduction 
(DR). Choosing this constellation grants 1dr (-1 
damage from each attack).
MAGIC. This constellation grants the ability to 
read magic and cast spells.
MELEE. Characters trained in this skill can use 
Greater melee weapons, and add +2 to attack 
and damage with melee weapons.
PLATFORMING. Training in this skill gives 
tighter control over your Avatar’s movements.
STRENGTH. Lowers the weight of objects so you 
can smash and throw things easily.
ALCHEMY. This constellation grants the ability 
to create lesser foils out of Materials.
ARCANUM. Training in this skill allows 
characters to use neon weapons and adds +2 
damage to attacks with them.
DREAMS. Considered a hidden skill because of 
its inconsistent effect on gameplay. Choose if 
you’re curious and can’t stop yourself.

A square room of gray and red bricks, 
overgrown with kudzu and splayed hands of 
moss that wriggle at the sound of each footstep 
scoffing the stone floor. The door on the other 
side is reinforced with steel and has a large, 
steel lock. The UI prompts the players to use a

An identical square room of gray and red bricks, 
overgrown with kudzu and splayed hands of 
moss that wriggle at the sound of each footstep 
scoffing the stone floor. The wall which held the 
reinforced door in Room 11 is instead filled with 
the room’s normal brick texture. It’s an illusory 
wall that is dispelled when passed through.
The beautiful voice echoes from beyond the 
wall, “There may yet be secrets hidden in these 
ruins. Search carefully.”
ROOM THIRTEEN
A religious altar to Annwn, a beautiful mother-
figure with sunflower hair and blooms of 
moss for eyes. In her outstretched hands lay 
five elaborate tarot cards. A large painting of 
her horrible death (she bites her fingers off as 
she tears the polyhedral organs from her 
body) towers behind her, stretching from floor 
to ceiling. 
The beautiful voice chimes in, “Approach me, 
heroes from another world. Choose the aspect 
of your world you wish to bring with you into 
this one. It is your advantage against the dangers 
of this place.”
The Blink Entertainment system reads you and 
your IRL surroundings while playing the game,

ASPECTS
/REMASTERED 27
ALCHEMIST. Turn this card upright at the 
beginning of each day. While this card is 
upright, you can change a single word of a held 
item, warping its entire construction. Sword 
can become shield, for instance. Staff of 
Lightning can become Staff of Flying. After ten 
minutes, reverse this card. While reversed, the 
held item reverts to its original form.
BEAST. Turn this card upright at the beginning 
of each day. While this card is upright you can 
take the shape of your pet, giving you an animal 
form. After ten minutes, reverse this card. While 
reversed, you cannot take animal form. 
BERSERKER. Turn this card upright at the 
beginning of each day. While this card is 
upright, you can enter a berserk mode on your 
turn and make an additional attack for each 
piercing you have. Then reverse this card. While 
reversed, you cannot use this ability.
KNIGHT. When you make a promise to an NPC, 
turn this upright. While upright you gain +2 to 
all rolls while acting for that promise. If the 
promise is broken, reverse this card. While 
reversed, you gain -2 to all rolls until the next 
session.
MAGUS. Turn this card upright at the beginning 
of each day. While this card is upright, you can 
take on a physical trait from any tattoo on your 
body. After ten minutes, reverse this card. While 
reversed you cannot use this ability.
MERCHANT. Turn this card upright at the 
beginning of each day. While this card is upright, 
you can take a single item within reach into the 
virtual world. After doing so, reverse this card. 
While reversed, the item disappears after a 
single use or at the end of the session.

The first thing you see is the glow of the sun 
through the ruined church roof. Roll 2d6 to see 
what the sun looks like today.
2. FURIOUS CRIMSON. Open wide, pupil 
miosis, harsh and sharp shadows.
3-5. CONFUSED ORANGE. Open wide, pupil

wavering pupil, foggy and blurry shadows.
9-11. MELANCHOLIC BLUE. Half shut, watery 
pupil, no shadows.
12. ASLEEP NAVY. Fully shut, humming 
pupil, faint and dying shadows.
If you open up .dungeon’s files, the texture used 
for the sun is called “the_eye.png.” It’s always 
visible in the sky, rotating on its axis. Pixelated 
and glowering. It waxes and wanes, opening 
and shutting depending on how the eye is 
feeling. This changes the virtual world’s global 
lighting, shifting it in density, brightness, and 
even hue.

HEXES
Annwn is broken up into hexes. To 
travel through a hex, a player must 
expend a resource or lose a Sync as 
their avatar becomes exhausted. 
Travelingthrough a hex forces a 
random encounter check and may 
grant 1 Byte (see below).
RESOURCES
Traveling into another hex costs 1 
Resource per player. Characters who 
travel with no Resources lose 1 Sync.
BYTES
Entering a hex for the first time that 
session gives each player 1 Byte. Bytes are 
the currency .dungeon is built around, 
allowing players to buy cool stuff.
REACTION ROLLS
When running into an entity whose 
reaction is uncertain, roll their dice to 
determine their reaction.
1-2. Angry
3-8. Avoidant
9-14. Aloof
15-19. Attentive
20+. Amiable
RANDOM ENCOUNTERS
Upon entering a hex, the Server checks 
for a random encounter by rolling 2d12. If 
the first dice is a 10-12 there’s a random 
encounter. The second dice determines 
what the random encounter is.

ASSIGNING DIFFICULTY
At times the Server may need to 
assign a difficulty to something.
D4: Simple.
D6: Easy.
D8: Normal.
D10: Hard.
D12: Difficult.
D20: Impossible.
CLIMBING
Characters can only climb surfaces 
which are climbable. If the surface is 
deemed climbable by the Server, roll 
BUILD + Platforming against a difficulty 
they set.
CRAFTING
If you have the Materials and skill 
training necessary to craft an item, 
roll HANDS + Crafting against a 
difficulty set by the Server. Lesser 
items are normal difficulty and 
greater items are hard difficulty. 
Failure means you waste the time 
and Materials and end up with a 
“mysterious item,” which takes up 
an inventory slot.
DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS
Dealing damage to a non-hostile entity 
(like a door, an NPC, or a tree) means it’s 
destroyed. Some NPCs may be more 
sturdy, thanks to armor or magic, but 
that will be noted along with their 
information. Destroying a non-hostile 
entity means it's removed from the game 
and drops any loot it may have. For 
instance, when a tree is destroyed, it 
leaves behind Materials for crafting. If an 
entity is sufficiently large or resilient (like 
a wall), the Server can call for a contest 
and assign a difficulty.
EXPLORATION RULES
/REMASTERED 33
RESEARCHING
What information are you 
searching for, and where are you 
searching for it? Roll META + Lore 
against a difficulty selected by the 
Server. The wiki is filled with fan-
sourced articles about locations 
and entities in .dungeon. Some 
information can only be learned by 
saying the right thing to NPCs or 
talking with PUGS. If you succeed in 
your Research contest, gain a d4 to 
add to your next roll dealing the 
researched subject. 
STEALTH
To be sneaky, roll PRESENCE + Sneak. 
The Server will either assign a 
difficulty, use a PUG’s stats or skills, or 
roll a monster’s dice as opposition.
SWIMMING & DROWNING
Swimming is difficult in Annwn. Roll 
BUILD + Strength against the Server’s 
d12. Failure means you are drowning. 
Mark a respawn each turn.
TALKING
Negotiating with NPCs is handled with a 
contest. Roll PRESENCE + Speech against a 
difficulty selected by the Server. Not 
every discussion with an NPC should 
require a dice roll. Only roll when 
convincing the NPC of something, 
negotiating with them, or asking them to 
do something beyond their purview.
PUGs are not affected by the game’s dice 
roll mechanics.
EXPLORATION RULES
34 .DUNGEON/
TURN-BASED
COMBAT
Roll HANDS against the mob’s Initiative. You 
can always choose to delay your turn till the 
end of initiative.
Combat in .dungeon is turn-based. Each round 
lasts as long as it takes each player and mob to 
take their turn. A turn allows them to take an 
action and move.
If you’re not in melee with a mob, you’re a 
Movement away from them. Ranged weapons 
can only be used a Movement away. Moving 
further means you’re fleeing.
After moving, roll PRESENCE against the mob. 
Fleeing from a PUG means evading them and 
hiding, but they might be persistent.
Roll BUILD + Melee against the mob’s dice.
Roll HANDS + Accuracy against the mob’s dice.
If you use your action to aim, add d4 to your 
next ranged contest.
To dual wield weapons you will need to explore 
Annwn for a Role that allows you to. When 
using two weapons, you can make two Contests 
per turn against the same or separate targets.
If you use your action to go on the defense, gain 
1dr until your next turn.

/REMASTERED 35
If there is some form of cover, you can use your 
movement to take cover and gain 1dr from 
ranged attacks.
When two sides roll the same number in a 
contest, they roll again to break the tie. If the 
player wins, it’s a critical hit and they can take a 
second action. If the player loses, it’s a fumble 
and they lose twice as much Sync.
If you are knocked prone or are lying prone, 
monsters in melee with you deal +2 Sync damage 
and monsters at range do -2 Sync damage.
You can retrieve items from your bag on 
your turn and use them on that same turn. 
Retrieving and using the item is counted as 
an action.
Monsters have to check their morale after half 
of their numbers are defeated. To do this, the 
Server rolls the Monster’s dice and adds them 
together. If it’s higher than the monsters’ 
morale stat, they stay and fight. Lower and they 
scatter or retreat. Retreating foes will return 
with a +1 Bonus next time they are encountered.

The Dragon swoops from the guildhall to that

Gear
RNSZabcTEUVWXYPQIJNGNROJEFHIJEKLMOP
There are four tiers of gear: simple, greater, 
rare, and legendary. Most of the gear you can 
buy in .dungeon is greater or simple. These two 
tiers are also craftable by players and NPCs 
using the in-game crafting system. Most gear 
aids players in contests, giving them bonuses to 
certain rolls or allowing them to forgo rolling at 
all (no need to roll to climb a mountain if you 
have climbing gear). 
Rare items include magical items, most foils, 
and unique pieces of gear. These items can only 
be crafted by specialized NPCs found 
sporadically throughout Annwn. Legendary 
gear are the most powerful items in the game, 
often using the haptic feedback of VR to create 
bleed between reality and the virtual world. 
These items were created by the developers of 
the game and are typically hidden behind 
dangerous dungeons, multi-faceted quests, or 
difficult challenges.
The NPCs who create rare items are coveted by 
.dungeon’s players. In particular, the Diamond 
Dogs guild have made it their duty to protect 
certain NPCs because if an NPC dies, whether by 
troll or freak accident, them and their unique 
items are gone forever. 
RARE NPCS
52 .DUNGEON/
RAM
Each character starts with a backpack that 
has ten inventory slots. Anything more needs 
to be put into storage or it sits on the ground 
as a little rotating sprite of a bag. Anyone can 
pick up items that have dropped like this. 
Each storage slot costs 1 Byte perweek and 
can be accessed at any storage chest (found 
within settlements). 
Speedrunners and PUGs know that stripping all 
armor and clothes off a character so they’re a 
naked mass of polygons gives +2 to platforming 
and initiative rolls. But they also know all 
incoming damage is increased by +2 as well.
Every new avatar starts with 3 Bytes, a knife, 
and basic traveler clothes.
NAKED
STARTING GEAR
/REMASTERED 53
BYTES
Bytes are the currency of .dungeon. They can only 
be gained by interacting with the game: traveling to 
far away places, fighting mobs, exploring randomly 
generated structures, and taking on quests. They 
are used for everything from buying gear, to 
casting spells, and uncovering secrets in the world.
A character gains 1 Byte (1b) per day as long as they 
log in and play. Traveling into a new hex for the 
first time also nets 1b. Defeating an encounter 
without taking Sync damage will gain the party an 
additional 1b each.
Last year, players discovered that an entire region 
of the map was unlocked once they accumulated 
enough Bytes, leading to speculation that the 
developers have hidden other things behind the 
Bytes Currency. Secret doors have been found in 
the tutorial dungeon. Some mobs are hidden until a 
certain number of Bytes are acquired. There are 
many secrets we’ve yet to uncover!

are both powered, you can use one to travel any 
distance to any other teleportation circle.
Buying a circle means buying an unused or 
unpowered one, or building a new one within a 
new settlement or guildhall. These do not get 
you any extra Bytes, but they help to 
interconnect Annwn.
Two to four seats. 10 storage slots. Can travel 
freely over the server with no risk of random 
encounters. Buying one trip means paying an 
NPC or Player Character to pick you up and take 
you to a destination. The price does not include 
a ride back. Buying your own simple airship 
means you get to design it. Upkeep includes 
storing it in a settlement.
Larger, commercial vessels. 50 storage slots. 
Buying one trip means getting a ticket between 
two settlements. The flight lasts ten minutes of 
game time and allows for the guests to mingle. 
Certain NPCs only spawn on airships, including 
unique merchants.
Buying your own greater airship means you 
get to design it. Upkeep includes storing it in 
a settlement.

/REMASTERED 69
A small structure that sits on the outer edge of 
a settlement, granting all its NPCs +1 defense. 
Building one spawns a ranger NPC who 
collects supplies and resources for the 
settlement. No settlement can have more 
than four defense towers.
If all four are built, construction on a 
ranger guildhall begins immediately, 
and finishes after three days. This 
grants a low percentage chance 
for ranger allies to arrive 
and assist
the settlement. 
A modest house with 1-2 rooms. 
Buying one gives you a place to 
decorate. Building one will spawn 
a random NPC to live in it.
A large structure with a 
performance area and seating for 
50. Building one spawns three 
soldier NPCs who have an intense 
rivalry and will fight every
Friday night.

A small structure for a guild to decorate and call 
their own. Includes 20 slots of shared storage, a 
shared bank where members can store their 
Bytes, and a Respawn Anchor which, when 
active, allows all members to respawn at it 
instead of the nearest settlement. The Respawn 
Anchor can be moved by the Guild Leader.
GUILD BANNER. Costs 3 Fashion Materials, lasts 
for a single encounter.
A large structure that connects the settlement 
to the server Auction House, allowing trades to 
be made over long distances. 
Larger house with 2-4 rooms. Buying one gives 
you a place to decorate and a place for your 
party members to live. Building one will spawn 
two random NPCs to live in it, with a chance of 
them falling in love and making more NPCs.
Larger house with 4 small rooms upstairs and a 
serving area downstairs. Buying one gives you 
an additional 3 Bytes each day you log on. 
Building one spawns an Innkeeper NPC and 
allows traveling NPCs to stop by.
Smaller house with one large serving area. 
Buying one gives you an additional 3 Bytes each 
day you log on. Building one spawns a 
bartender and a chef NPC and allows traveling 
NPCs to arrive. This also creates a space for 
NPCs to mingle and possibly start relationships, 
which can grow the settlement.

LEGENDARY ITEMS
These are unique and powerful items that often 
bleed IRL into the virtual world. They are found 
in the most dangerous dungeons, at the end of 
long and complicated quest chains, or as 
rewards for hidden world events.
ARAWN’S MIRROR.
A glass hand-mirror with thin veins of blood 
pumping around the frame in off-beat 
rhythms. The holder can gaze into the mirror 
to create a duplicate of themself. The holder 
can control the duplicate while staring into 
the mirror, which shows what the duplicate 
can see. When not looking into the mirror, the 
duplicate acts of its own volition as any other 
NPC might.
BLACK ROSE.
A handcannon of black metal and gold that 
shoots blooming, ruby bullets. Every attack 
with a rose bullet adds +d6 to the contest. The 
Black Rose starts with a rose bullet for every 
flower/plant in the player’s IRL playing area.
DOG WHISTLE.
A bone whistle carved with a hundred, 
snarling, hound fangs. When blown, a war 
dog is summoned in-game for every dog in 
your IRL house.
NIRVANA.
A glorious staff topped with a golden phoenix, 
once held by Hafgan himself. Once per session 
you can spread the phoenix’s wings, causing 
all party members’ attacks to do +3 solar 
damage for the encounter.
SCAPEGOAT.
A cute, fluffy sheep doll that rests neatly on 
any backpack. Always smiling. You can put any 
number of Bytes into it each day. The 
scapegoat can negate an amount of damage 
equal to the Bytes put into it. Each point of 
damage removes a Byte. When it runs out of 
Bytes, it frowns.
/REMASTERED 73
LEGENDARY ITEMS
TEAM SPECIAL.
A baseball bat of twisted wood, branded as an 
“Annwn Slugger.” Functions as a simple 
weapon. Once per encounter, you can perform 
a combo attack with another party member, 
adding both of your attack rolls together to 
make one, combined Contest.
THE HORN OF DRAGOON.
Carved from the tooth of Annwn. This spiral 
horn, with its three separate openings, 
charms all Dragons who hear it. While 
charmed they will do as commanded, but 
they do not do it kindly.
THE RING OF MELANCHOLY.
A one of a kind ring, carved from 
the sadness of Annwn. Once per 
day, the wearer can tell a sad 
story which inflicts a special 
condition called “Sadness” to all 
within earshot. Sadness makes 
their avatar cry uncontrollably 
for 10 minutes, leaving them 
motionless.
TOME OF DREAMS.
The obsidian-bound text that acted as the 
foundation of the Abrellian Academy. When 
opened, all entities in the vicinity, excluding the 
opener, fall asleep and must fight their “inner 
demon” in a liminal dream space to wake up.
WINTER CLOAK.
A cloak of white fog and ice that blows with its 
own wind. During the winter months, the 
wearer can cross any source of water, as their 
footsteps freeze and leave behind small 
lilypads of ice.

Magic
The game’s current patch uses shadow magic, a 
magical art created by Annwn herself. By 
combining Bytes with hand signs that either do 
or don’t cast a shadow, you can create strange 
and sometimes helpful effects. Spells are 
discovered on scrolls, inside of tomes, and 
carved on dungeon walls. There is no 
centralized school of magic or a way to begin 
the game as a spellcaster anymore.
To learn these spells you must find a scroll, 
book, or carving that demonstrates the hand 
signs. Some PUGs are kind enough to pass on 
spells they’ve learned to others, but they have 
to be demonstrated in-game. Following a 
diagram on the wiki can teach you the hand 
signs, but your character won’t know the spell 
until they study it or are taught it. PUGs usually 
charge upwards of 50 Bytes to teach you one of 
their spells.
RNSZabcTEUVWXYPQIJNGNROJEFHIJEKLMOPLEARNING SPELLS
.dungeon’s options menu lets players toggle off 
spellcasting’s extensive hand movements. Some 
players prefer voice commands or the 
spellcasting menu where you simply use 
buttons to input the proper hand signs in the 
correct order.
ACCESSIBILITY
76 .DUNGEON/
Any single entity, player character, or PUG that 
is on the field of battle, including the caster.
The entity casting the spell.
Everything considered to be in combat at the 
time, in melee and range. If something is nearby 
but not present in the combat, it is not 
considered to be “in the field of battle.”
Removes the target’s current dice without a 
contest roll. If a mob is made of more than one 
dice, only the current dice is destroyed.
All entities and space that is within melee range 
of the target.
Magic that can be cast out of turn order. Using 
a spell to interrupt costs 3 extra Bytes and 
counts as your next up-coming turn. If the 
spell cancels an action that is being 
performed, or changes the conditions for 
whoever’s turn it is, that person gains another 
movement to use immediately.
If a spell calls for a dice roll, use the listed Skill.

.dungeon doesn’t stop when you log out. 
Between sessions, time for the PCs in the game 
world passes at the same rate as IRL time. This 
means that you are always playing .dungeon, 
even when you’re not logged on. Annwn is a 
world parallel to our own, that persists 
alongside our own.
A typical .dungeon campaign will involve a 
session of adventure followed by a gap of 
downtime until the next session. The Server 
might talk to the players over discord or text 
message, asking them what their character is 
up to during these gaps. A player might want to 
log on and do some shopping in town. Or a 
player might have a friend they want to check 
in on. These things can happen (personal time 
permitting) while not having a full session, 
through talking and maybe rolling some dice 
when necessary.
If you are always playing, and if time passes at 
roughly the same pace as reality, what about 
things that take more time than you have during 
a given night? Firstly, there aren’t many things 
like that in .dungeon except maybe grinding for 
drops or traveling over very long distances.
Secondly, .dungeon has a golden rule: Whenever 
you sit down to play, if you want to take an 
action that requires more time than you have 
to play, it can be done retroactively. In other 
words, it happened during downtime. As long 
as you have the Materials and the means, any 
long-term goal (shopping, talking to friends, 
grinding mobs, normal MMO tasks) can be 
accomplished retroactively.

The eye of the sad god, pixelated and glowering. 
Like our moon here on Earth, the sun waxes and 
wanes, opening and shutting different amounts 
depending on how the eye is feeling. This activity 
changes the virtual world’s global lighting, 
shifting it in density, brightness, and even hue. 
Roll 2d6 to see what the sun looks like today.

After being severed, the left hand of Annwn 
joined the Sun in the sky as a celestial body. It 
rotates on a constantly shifting axis which puts 
it in varying degrees of eclipse with the Sun. 
When the correct eye and its proper hand sign 
coincide, Annwn casts her magic on the world. 
Every session, roll a d10. On a 1, there’s an 
eclipse. There can only be one eclipse each 
calendar month.
ECLIPSES
/REMASTERED 83
No shadows are cast when the sun is 
melancholic, so there are no eclipses.
When the sun sleeps and the hand passes in 
front of it, it creates a null magic aura for the 
entire server. Casting magic has no effect. 
Creatures who cast magic are vulnerable, and 
magical enchantments, auras, and protections 
(such as illusions) are dispelled.
FURIOUS HORSE.
If a Rest Dice is rolled during this eclipse, it 
must be rerolled and the second number must 
be used. For better or worse.
TIRED BULL.
All healing from Rest Dice, spells, and foils is 
maximized during this eclipse.
TIRED CROW.
The illusion magic which hides secret doors 
within Annwn’s dungeons is broken, revealing 
them. During this eclipse, secret doors are 
marked with the symbol of the tired Eye.
FURIOUS HOUND.
The Wyld Hunt event begins. This is known as 
Arawn’s Revenge, as the Drowned King’s 
influence spreads and his Black Hounds begin 
their hunt. All servers are bathed in a full and 
total red. Those lucky enough to defeat a Black 
Hound get an invite to Arawn’s castle.
FURIOUS FROG.
All Legendary catches while fishing are the 
Scroll Toad. If given a proper gift, the Scroll 
Toad will give you a single-use scroll that can 
summon him. When summoned, the Scroll Toad 
will devour one entity for you before vanishing.
CONFUSED ELEPHANT.
Users who join and create their first character 
during this eclipse are “cursed.” They grow a set 
of unique horns on their head and begin with 
an invitation to Mazmorra, the cursed dungeon.

Users who join and create their first character 
during this eclipse are born from the mouth of

and are able to understand the Ancient Tongue 
of Dragons.
TIRED WOLF.
Players and NPCs inflicted with lycanthropy 
take on their Werewolf forms during this 
eclipse. If they don’t find a cure by the end of 
the eclipse, they are stuck in Werewolf form 
until the end of the next Tired Wolf eclipse.
CONFUSED BUTTERFLY.
Only during this eclipse can a powerful 
spellcaster attempt to become a gLich. 
TIRED GOOSE.
All Bytes gained or found during this eclipse are 
doubled. Each shop has a 50% chance to double 
their prices for the rest of the week.
FURIOUS FOX.
Mobs have a chance of dropping Fox Tokens, 
which can be offered to foxes in-game. If a fox 
accepts your token, they are bound to you and 
will follow you as any other pet would. Foxes 
grant +2 to Vibes and Navigation.

Mountains stretch strange into the clouds. 
Crags and cliffs shear, ebb, and collapse. 
Impossible structures of stone and rock. Nearly 
unclimbable faces of marble. Endless 
avalanches and earth that breathes deep 
through ravines and canyons filled with the 
most sought-after of treasures.
Unlike other terrain, mountains require 2 
supplies to travel. With a successful contest 
against the mountain’s 2d20, you can climb to the 
peak where a rare gem rests, worth 100 Bytes.
Plunging into the canyon requires one 
additional supply, but all encounters inside 
have double the drops.
A procedurally generated horror of sharp 
edges and flat cliff faces.
It has stats and will try to hurt you. Defeating it 
turns it into a normal mountain until the next day.

Dreamlike waves of solar lights dance amongst 
tree-tall flowers with faces, while blue blood 
floats through the air as a spray of mist. Cracks 
in the ground that exit into the clouds. Floating 
islands that hold entire settlements and 
dungeons. A mystery and wonder of solitude. 
The flowers spit out bits of dialog picked up 
from PUGs that travel through them. Hear the 
cursing and anger of a random encounter, the 
whispers of treasure in nearby dungeons and 
hexes. But only if you listen closely. 
Reaching them is the hardest part. They are 
mostly filled with dungeons, but on occasion 
there are untouched settlements with 
teleportation circles.
Occurs when Annwn’s debris falls and explodes 
into stardust. Multi-colored waves dance 
through the air, while sprinkles and sparkles of 
Annwn’s soul mingle. 
Massive dungeons that spawn on floating 
islands, creating miniature ecosystems of 
factionalized NPCs and mob horrors.

Silent hills rolling with fog. The midwest of 
America stretched thin. Telephone poles with 
nowhere to go, and the sounds of cicadas thick 
with the glow of the sad god’s eye. Ruins filled 
with Zombies where your house sits, 
untouched and waiting for you. A hell of google-
map textures. 
A few NPCs survive while others have long since 
become Zombies. It’s common for hordes of 
Zombies to assault ruins while NPCs cower inside.
A haze, tinted by the eye of the sad god. It rolls 
and breathes with its own life, covering entire 
fields with its mass. 
Lumps of green, gray, and blue. Sidle past each 
other in the sunlight. Moaning and groaning. 
Sighing and crying. Alive. The most docile 
denizens of Annwn.
The corpses of Annwn’s largest creations, fallen 
from the debris belt, or slain by players long 
logged-out. If 100 Dream Materials are gathered, 
you can enter the corpse’s memories and fight 
the beast yourself. Or talk to it. It’s lonely.

Bloody fields. Red and purple sands twisting 
around teeth that rupture from the ground to 
eat or just sit, monolithic. Tremors pulse 
through the fibers and code as deep machines 
pound away at unseen toils. The debris belt has 
never been so visible on a clear day.
Blood red meteors fall from the sky. The rain is 
tintedwith the blood of Annwn. Craters dot the 
fields. Monoliths of living rock and pulsating 
stone wriggle free from the dirt.
Bone white spires erupting from the ground. 
The Materials they produce are worth double, 
but harming the teeth immediately calls an 
encounter, as the ground groans in pain.
A cut, a gash, a slash. Cracks and craters that 
bleed blood from Annwn’s spinning body. NPCs 
can be resurrected if left to float in the pools 
for a day. Even a Skeleton will reform its body 
and return to its routines.
DEBRIS FIELD
GIANT’S TEETH
BLEEDING WOUND
Redlands
The sad god’s veins, still breathing and beating 
and filling with her juice. Darkened. She cannot 
see inside of herself. Only the horrors of the 
blackness and the ever churning blood. Caves 
and labyrinths that etch themselves through 
territories un-wiki’d, and never conquered. 
The veins of Annwn that stretch inside and 
outside of the ground. When they flood (during 
the rain) they are impassable. 
A hole that goes down. Forever. Many NPCs are left 
falling for eternity. Traverse it carefully, if at all.
The bodies of ancient Dragons form caverns 
beneath the earth. They once erupted from 
Annwn’s body as her children. When tired and 
old, they return for their rest. Dragon Materials 
can be found here.

Crying trees. A green and dead sea. Ancient and 
corrupt with broken lines of code. Ruled by 
families of Wolves that have swallowed Her 
debris. Swamps filled with oil, constantly aflame. 
Crystal growths that rival the mountains. Time 
and space bend to the forests here.
Hazy groves, angry willow trees, vines that 
yearn for your neck. NPCs can’t help but cry. 
Mobs may fight, but they do so with sadness in 
their digital hearts.
Webbed and impossibly claustrophobic. The 
spider priests wander these woods, looking for 
their lost god. Spiders furtively guide lost 
travelers to safety, knowing what the spider 
priests will do if they find you.
Crystalline and gleaming. Butterflies of blue 
glass beat their wings with water-like 
movements. Crystals found here can be sold for 
20 Bytes per inventory slot. Catching a 
crystalized lizard means nearly 100 Bytes, but 
they also make for good pets (like normal 
lizard, but they reduce spell costs by 1). 
Pools of oil and tar, bubbling and swallowing all 
entities that wind up in their liquid grasps. 
Fires set here will never go out. Pillars of flame 
from the earliest players still stretch up 
through tangled canopies.

Heavy thunder rumbles through the clouds,

lightning bolt striking someone at random each 
round. When rolling random encounters, a 12 
means that a lightning strike brings a Saga 
Prince. This is the only way to encounter a Saga 
Prince and get their unique drops.
Flat, static-gray clouds with the dull sizzle of 
rain on every surface. Pets hide under their 
owners and NPCs gather in taverns. The world 
sleeps for the storm.
The eye of the sad god watches.
The thick liminality of static-fog. A pleasing film 
grain tinted by the glare of the sad god.
Flakes fall from the atmosphere, freezing bodies 
of water into slick surfaces and coating the 
world in a blanket of soft crunch. Dragons sing 
their sacred song. If you’re close enough, you 
can give up 10 Bytes to learn the song.

The silver rule of .dungeon’s world is that if you 
look for a dungeon, there will be one. In 
alleyways, in abandoned settlements, beneath 
taverns, in the middle of the wilderness. If you 
need a dungeon, there will be one there. And 
there’s one here. It’s a flowchart that can be 
followed using a d10 dice roll.

96 .DUNGEON/
Any collection of structures (or a singular 
structure of considerable size) can be 
considered a settlement as long as it contains 
an NPC. Settlements that lose their NPCs 
become ruins and spawn Zombies, Skeletons, 
and other undead. 
Settlements are important because they are 
one of the few places that can be teleported to, 
and one of the few places players can respawn. 
They are also the only locations that can 
support a guildhall, allowing you to start a 
guild. And lastly, most equipment can only be 
bought or sold in settlements, because that’s 
where NPCs reside.
.dungeon was considered a “dead MMO” when 
the total number of players dropped below 
1,000 and Annwn contained more ruins than it 
did settlements. But ruins can be reclaimed and 
turned back into settlements with enough Bytes 
and Materials. See the Gear section for 
construction prices and times.

Players Unknown
Players Unknown (PUGs) are real people in the 
server who are also playing .dungeon. 
Interacting with them is different than 
interacting with anything else in the game. They 
don’t have to listen to the party, give them 
information, or do as the party asks (like NPCs 
do). Stats and dice do not work on them unless 
you are engaged in combat. Each PC has their 
own internal and external wants and needs that 
they are in this game to accomplish.
They have Sync, roles, aspects, and memories of 
the game. They are just as complicated and 
multi-faceted as you or I. Their only limitations 
are the internal mechanisms of the game. PUGs 
can be cruel and helpful. They can be 
streamers or roleplayers. They can have 
abilities from a previous patch, and gear 
that you can't even get in the game 
anymore. They are trolls, friends, rivals, 
and your companions in this dead 
MMO. 
Below are a few tables to help you 
flesh out a PUG, but there is no shortcut 
to this. This is roleplay. It’s up to you to take 
these disparate results and find the 
complexity of a real person.

WHAT THEY 
ACTIVELY HIDE
This is their secret, the one they keep close to the 
chest. Sometimes they don’t even know that 
they’re hiding it. This is their past, their regrets. 
It’s all the things they don’t realize about themself.
Roll for a deep insecurity or subconscious 
thought that they have that affects their life. 
This could be something they hope to change or 
something that they will learn to live with. 
There are no wrong answers.
1. I can’t believe that anyone could even 
think they’re better than me.
2. There’s not a law in the world that 
could stop me from doing what I want.
3. There’s not much that gets me excited. 
Or sad. Or anything really.

Everyone in the game has a reason to escape 
into a fantasy world. These are not inherently 
tragic, but they are part of their personhood. 
This reason is part of their life at this moment 
and gives them Sync, just like you. Each PUG 
starts with d100 Sync and a reason to be online.
1. Summer vacation. They’re in junior 
high and just got the game.

every day.

safe place within the game.

need to maintain an online presence.

2. I dare you to climb to the highest 
point nearby.
3. I dare you to switch weapons with me 
for the next encounter.

5. I dare you to make your avatar Shrek.
6. I dare you to buy and wear the silliest 
gear we can find.
7. I dare you to take care of yourself today.
8. I dare you to go outside today and tell 
me about something pretty you see.
9. I dare you to go hang out with a friend. 
In person. For just a little bit.
10. I dare you to call that person you’re 
always talking about.
11. I dare you to invite a friend to play 
.dungeon with us.
12. I dare you to take me to your favorite 
spot in the game.
13. I dare you to use all the foils in your bag 
and see what happens.
14. I dare you to find and slay a Dragon

1. What was it like growing up?
2. What is their fondest childhood memory?
3. What is their worst childhood memory?
4. What smell takes them back into the past?
5. What advice would they give their 
younger self?
6. What’s the last thing that made them 
feel ashamed?
7. When’s the last time they felt 
disappointment?
8. When’s the last time they felt really proud?
9. Has anyone ever saved their life?
10. Have they saved anyone’s life?
Secrets are pretty self explanatory, but they 
can be big or small. Anything hidden or kept 
close to the chest. Sharing something personal 
like this with another player can start a 
conversation and lead to a more intimate form 
of roleplaying. It might even be their “what they 
actively hide.” 
A great way to break up a silence or spice up 
travel is to have a character tell a funny story 
about a past adventure. Have them tell of a time 
when something went so wrong that they 
couldn’t help but laugh. Or a time when their 
party screwed something up and turned it into 
a farce. 
Player Characters have parents, siblings, and 
kids as well. Talking about their family is an 
easy way to add depth to them while also 
finding inspiration for the rest of their 
character. Things like troubled relationships, 
fond memories, and strange living situations 
are relatable things to add to a three-
dimensional character.
1. Lives with extended family.
2. Hasn’t spoken to them in years.
3. Has a brother they’ve never met.
4. Their father wasn’t around.
5. They grew up at their grandma’s house.
6. They moved around a lot.
7. Their parents worked all the time.
8. Their stepmom was cruel.
9. They’re really close with their siblings.
10. They have an adoptive family.

READING STATS
The number next to a monster’s name is how 
many of them appear when encountered.
Monsters are their dice. Some are made up of 
just one dice, others are made of multiple. 
When the first dice is beaten in a contest, it is 
removed. When a monster is out of dice, it’s 
dead. Notation is important: If a monster says 
2d10, that means that two d10’s are rolled 
together and added for each contest. 
Conversely, d10x2 means that the monster has 
two separate d10’s that must be defeated. 
This example uses d6’s to explain dice notation 
for stat blocks. 
• 2d6 means the mob rolls two d6’s and 
adds them together for each attack.
• d6x2 means the mob rolls one d6 for each 
contest, but when the first dice is defeated 
they have a second to take its place. 
• d6, d8 means the mob rolls a d6 until 
that dice is defeated and then rolls a d8. 
• d6/ means that the dice splits and gets 
smaller when defeated. The size of the 
dice will always follow the dice chain: 
D20›D12›D10›D8›D6›D4. Whichever dice 
is listed before the “/” is where you 
start, and dice only ever gets smaller.
These can be mixed and matched to make a stat 
block like the Manticore:
[MANTICORE (2); D:2D10, 2D8, 2D6, 
B:4, I:12, M:6, BY:--]
To defeat a Manticore, you have to beat 2d10 
added together, then 2d8 added together, and 
then 2d6 added together. Once all three sets 
have been defeated, the Manticore is dead.
This is the number the monster adds to all of its 
dice rolls.

This is the number the monster is trying to beat

This is the number of Bytes PCs need to see this

When monsters win Contests, they deal damage 
directly to the party’s Sync. When initiative 
reaches the monster, roll one die per type of 
monster (so even if there are 10 Goblins, just 
roll one die to represent them all) and deal that 
much Sync damage. This damage can be 
mitigated by Defense and shields.
When monsters win Contests, they can choose 
to perform a stunt instead, such as grappling or 
disarming a player. Any unique stunts are

EXPANDED SKILLS
Skills are in-game abilities that dictate how 
good your Avatar is at accomplishing tasks. 
Choose three skills to gain training in, alongside 
the one skill gifted by your Job. Training in a 
skill means you get +2 to rolls when using it. 
Expertise in a skill means you get +4 to rolls 
when using it.
Skills are categorized by which Stat theyfall 
under. Add your bonus to Contests where the 
Skill is applicable, rolling your Stat Dice and 
adding the Skill to the result.
To learn a new skill, PCs must find someone 
who can teach it to them. This requires a 
payment of 20 Bytes and a week of downtime. 
To gain Expertise in a skill, the player and the 
Server Host must agree to a challenge. Failure 
to accomplish the challenge locks you out of the 
skill until another challenge is agreed upon. If 
the challenge is accomplished, the player gains 
Expertise in the skill.
SKILL TRAINING
/REMASTERED 127
BUILD.
Instead of armor, characters have a base 
defense that acts as damage reduction. Training 
in defense gives you 1dr, and Expertise gives you 
2dr. Some clothes and armor may offer more 
damage reduction.
Training in magic lets you cast spells. Without 
training, you might be able to read the spells 
but their magic is lost on you. Expertise allows 
you to identify who cast a particular spell and 
detect magic in the area.
Training in melee allows you to use big melee 
weapons. Expertise allows you a unique “stance” 
with your weapon of choice. Whether you’re 
swinging a sword or punch, add your training 
when making attacks against opponents. 
Acrobatic leaps, climbing, and navigating 
dangerous terrain. Training in platforming 
gives you tighter control over your Avatar’s 
movements. Expertise gives you a double jump.
Knocking things over, pushing things out of the 
way, and general, hand-made destruction. 
Training in strength makes objects weigh less 
to your character. Expertise lets you throw 
large objects.
META.
Creating and identifying foils. Training in 
alchemy allows your character to craft lesser 
foils out of Materials. Expertise lets you craft 
greater foils.
The knowledge of and training to use magic 
items and sci-fi tech. Training in arcanum 
allows you to use neon weapons. Expertise 
gives you basic information about magic items 
that are within your line of sight.
Considered a hidden skill of the game, because 
it is not clearly defined on the wiki. Training in 
dreams allows you to make pacts with the 
pantheon of .dungeon. Expertise in it allows you 
to open yourself to the world of Annwn and 
receive messages from it. Often cryptic or 
prophetic. [Call to action! The .dungeon wiki is 
open for new contributors who know more 
about this skill.]

META (CONTINUED).
Training in lore means the game expands 
descriptive text. Expertise means the game 
might butt in to give you information, even 
when you didn’t ask for it.
Training in navigation improves your HUD 
radar and quest markers. Expertise gives you 
active hints to help you search and travel.
PRESENCE.
Training in animal handling allows you to take 
on animals (and some monsters) as pets. 
Expertise in animal handling lets you reroll 
animal reactions to you, and take on a mount.
Training in perception improves colors, sounds, 
and smells to enhance your senses. Expertise in 
perception does this even more and also adds 
faint outlines to things of interest. The invisible 
hands of the game like you.
Training in sneak reduces the ambient and 
active sounds of your Avatar. Expertise makes 
you completely silent while crouched.
Training in speech improves NPC reactions to 
you. Expertise in speech rerolls reaction rolls, 
even in dangerous situations.
Training in vibes improves the haptic feedback 
of your VR rig, giving you subtle signals when 
things are off. Expertise improves this even 
more and makes NPCs more readable.

HANDS.
Training in accuracy reduces arrow and bullet 
drop and other things that affect the trajectory 
of ranged attacks. Expertise subtly slows 
aiming down to give you greater control.
Training in crafting allows you to create lesser 
versions of items as long as you have the 
supplies. Expertise allows you to create 
greater versions.
Training in engineering aids you in repairing 
vehicles and other machinery in the world. 
Expertise aids you further by reducing 
repair costs.
Training in explosives allows you more wiggle 
room for failure while using them in combat, 
and aids you in building and disarming 
explosives. Expertise allows you to disarm 
explosives without destroying them.
Training in piloting improves vehicle 
responsiveness and makes them easier to 
control. Expertise allows for a semi-auto-pilot so 
you can take on simple tasks while also piloting.

turns until the bleeding is stopped.
All navigation or targeting requires a successful 
Luck roll. 
Take d6 Sync damage at the start of your turn.

that frightened you. You can’t take actions that 
harm the thing that frightened you.
You can’t move but can still take your action.
Make an RNG roll to be able to spot an invisible 
target. All combat rolls must be made using 
RNG as well. Hitting an invisible target makes 
them visible.

hit. Ranged attacks treat you as behind partial 
cover. You can end this status at the end of your

Individuals who have made a pact with Orion, 
the eight eyes of the sad god, become 
moderators. To do this, earn a moderator’s 
trust, get assigned a job, and if you complete it 
without hiccups they will take you to one of the 
eight eyes to make your pact. Tasks assigned by 
moderators include basic moderator duties, 
such as patrolling dangerous areas at night, 
protecting a settlement’s walls, maintaining 
goodwill with local guilds, and engaging in PvP 
against trolls and griefers. 
Moderators are given three special privileges. 
Mods found abusing their privileges will have 
them revoked and their moderator role stripped.
Silence. Target’s mic is muted for 30 minutes.
Freeze. Target is frozen in place for 10 minutes.
Kick. Target is forcefully removed from the 
server and placed on a temporary (1 hour) ban. 
After a user has been kicked, all subsequent 
kicks will double the temporary ban.
Moderators can use their abilities throughoutAnnwn, but their domain is the settlements. 
They uphold the “no PvP in settlements” rule 
and seek to protect players from griefers and 
trolls. As a moderator you might be called on to 
assist others in their duties at any time while 
you’re logged on.
Moderators are denoted by the purple halo that 
floats above their head. It sheds dim light, but 
other than that is purely cosmetic. Moderators 
who are stripped of their privileges lose the 
halo and are given a Jinx instead. Jinxes are 
small purple imps that hide in your shadow 
whenever they aren’t floating around your 
head. They offer no mechanical benefit and can 
only speak their name, “Jinx!”
MODERATORS
PRIVILEGES
/REMASTERED 133
Administrators have the same privileges as 
moderators, but they also carry a Sword of 
Banishment. If a player or PUG is killed by a 
Sword of Banishment, they are permanently 
banned from playing the game, .dungeon, the 
book you’re currently reading, ever again. They 
can no longer make characters or participate 
in sessions of .dungeon ever, ever, never.
