In the Heart of the Delve & Dangerous | Procedural Network/Dungeon Crawling Engine

In the Heart of the Delve & DangerousA Procedural Network/Dungeon Crawling Engine

‘In the Heart of the Delve & Dangerous’ contains a procedural point crawl adventure engine for exploring a network of interconnected spaces – e.g. dungeons, space stations or eldritch structures.

It is in a similar vein as ‘In the Heart of the Sea’, which is a procedural High Seas ‘Hex Crawl’ and ‘In the Heart of the Unknown‘, which is procedural wilderness Hex Crawling Engine.

Basically, in ‘In the Heart of the Delve and Dangerous’ there are two ‘game engines’ in the form of Hex Flowers. One engine drives locations and the other the encounters.

Each time you move to a new location, you procedurally determine what is there.

  • Optional chamber dressing random tables
  • An annotated example of play
