The World Player

Dungeon Game is a Blorb game and as the world player, you’re responsible for following its principles.

Blorb Principles

Missed Actions

If there’s something prepared to take advantage of the opening (an opponent, a trap, a hazard), the action is unsuccessful. Threaten them with a consequence (below) and ask their reaction.

Otherwise, they succeed, but you choose 1:

• make them spend focus equal to the difference
• wear down their equipment

Consequences

• mark fatigue
• suffer setbacks
• close off a course of action
• put them in a riskier position
• separate them
• introduce a complication

Resolving Ambiguities

As you play, questions will regularly come up about the specifics of how something works. Any decisions made are a group conversation with the World Player having the final call. Once made, everyone should make sure that the same answer will always apply.
