Dungeon Cynth

Finish your dungeon-synth album before Khothor manifests (your fault btw) in this “fun-dark” solo TTRPG. Saving the world is optional. Hails! You are Cynth (short for Cynthia or Cynthian), a dungeon synth artist working on an album. By playing certain notes in a forbidden order, you have accidentally invoked Khothor the Wastelayer, a god of the Outer Chaos. He will manifest in so many days to destroy the world. In the time left, your goal is to finish the album and release it. If the album has been released by the time Khothor arrives, you can die happy. Who knows, Khothor might like your music if you play it him, and decide to spare the world. But that would just be a bonus. Saving the world is unimportant compared to getting your album out. Includes prompts for playing Dungeon Cynth as a solo journalling game, plus a  “DS Word Spool”. Requires a handful of six-sided dice (d6s), a pen or pencil, and a notebook or paper. "A real love letter to DS. And surprisingly funny!" "A homage to dungeon synth." *** Downloads include a b&w printer-friendly version of the rules (easiest to read, text only) + pdfs of the rules for a bespoke-length J-card (made for cassettes - not included - with the game’s dungeon-synth soundtrack; see below) + the haunting and immersive soundtrack (10 tracks, album length approx. 48 mins). I recommend printing the Dungeon Cynth printer-friendly rules "as booklet" to make an A5 zine. *** Soundtrack, The Coming of Khothor , by Blades of Folmär . Art by Doriana Dream .
