The Random Dungeon Fate of Doom Chart

(Adapted from here, with adjustments from here.)

The style of play for this game is a "West Marches" style of game for episodic play, potentially for multiple groups. Of course, that means to support this players need to begin and end in civilization so that there's no overlap or continuity issues, so there has to be logistical support for this.

Ending a session

Ending a session without returning home

This means a session ends one of three ways:

  1. The players can choose to return home, ending the session.
  2. The DM can announce that we will stop playing in one hour. If the end of the hour comes, then the session ends normally.
  3. If the players have not exited the dungeon at the end of the play session, then either:
    1. everyone must commit before leaving the table to another session within seven days with all the same players and characters to pick up where they left off1), or
    2. everyone in the party must roll on the Random Dungeon Fate of Doom Chart to determine their character's fates.

Players who leave early

The characters of players who leave early are assumed to have wandered off or gotten lost and are left to the whims of the gods. They must roll on the Random Dungeon Fate of Doom Chart.

The Procedure

First, you must determine if you escape, and if not, you have to determine your fate.

If the players fail to reconvene or the same group cannot reconvene, then all players default to the Random Dungeon Fate of Doom Chart

Fumble! You lose your wind and realize you should try to relax.
