What it is about
Content warning: body horror, trypophobia What is this? Down the Belly of the Leviathan is a solo dungeon crawler where you venture into the carcass of a dead (mostly) leviathan to loot the gold trapped in its guts. Monsters made of flesh and coin stand in your way. You fight them, grab what you can, and try to get out before the whole thing collapses on you. Highlights One page, rules and tracking sheet included Printer-friendly version included You only need a single d6, 7 tokens, 30 minutes per delve A peculiar cascading mechanic where missing an attack can spiral into wounds, ruin, and death Competitive against yourself: track your high scores across delves (and share them with #DtBotL if you want) Every creature you fight has a Vulnerability Span that shifts as combat goes on, forcing you to make decisions that can cost your life. After each kill, you choose: press deeper for more gold, or get out while you still can. Between delves you can heal, but it costs gold. Finding a new leviathan costs gold too, and the rumors might be wrong. Everything you earn is something you'll have to decide whether to spend, risk or keep.
