Welcome to Dank & Dark! Here we invite you to explore unseen worlds, create whimsical characters, and delve into the depths of adventure – all straight from your own imagination! Built off the framework of Nate Treme's brilliant Tunnel Goons RPG, Dank & Dark expands on these mechanics to give you a rules-light game that makes it easy to dive right in.

It's whimsical. It's daring. It's easy to learn. And it's really, really fun.

This system empowers GMs, engages players, and strips away the noise that hinders gameplay. With Dank & Dark, we're handing you the tools to make an adventure that's just right for you.

Keeping in mind the best parts of gaming, Dank & Dark is a rules-light fantasy game specifically designed to get you into the action faster (with less reading and flipping through rule books). Based on the Tunnel Goons SRD, Dank & Dark is easy to learn, easier to play, and ready to become the backbone of your next adventure!

If you've only ever played traditional RPGs, you may be used to thick books of rules and endless tables. Dank & Dark is something else entirely.

  • No initiative rolls.
  • No mile-long spell lists.
  • No rigid rules for rounds or movement.
  • No headaches.

Why? Because Dank & Dark builds on the bold ideas behind rules-light RPGs: you don't need a rule for everything to tell an unforgettable story!

  • Frag is a computer game without a computer. It's a "first-person shooter" on a tabletop. Move your fighter and frag your foes; draw cards for weapons, armor, and gadgets; move through the blood spatters to restore your own health! If you die, you respawn and come back shooting! 

    Easy to learn, fast-moving, fun . . .

  • Gelatinous. In Gelatinous, players start out as a wandering slime, using sparkling green dice to grow into a cube. But watch out, the other slimes are growing too! The first to grow into a cube wins – and the rest are lunch. 

    Includes 35 glittery green dice and its own dice bag!

  • Hack & Slash. In this quick game, your guild of adventurers is ready for anything: battles, rescues, and the "liberation" of whatever pays the most. Choose a quest and roll the dice! You may win fame, and even recruit a new comrade for your party. Or you may fail, and slink back to the Tavern. Don't fail!
