# Tiny Dungeon tags: #game/rpg/tiny-dungeon ![[Tiny Dungeon (cover).jpg]] ## Tiny Dungeon **Tiny Dungeon** is a tabletop role-playing game that lives up to its name by offering a streamlined, minimalist approach to fantasy gaming. Its goal? To get you playing fast, without getting bogged down in rules. Perfect for those who think character sheets should fit on an index card and that "encumbrance" is just a fancy word for "inventory management." ### Core Mechanic **Tiny Dungeon** uses the TinyD6 system, where you roll a number of six-sided dice determined by your attribute (Strength, Dexterity, etc.) and count the number of 4s or higher. - **No successes:** Oh dear. Looks like you tripped over a pebble and landed face-first in a puddle. Maybe adventuring isn't for you. - **1 success:** You manage to accomplish something, but it might not be pretty. Think hitting the orc, but also your ally standing next to it. - **2+ successes:** Huzzah! You're a legendary hero! Or at least competent enough to swing a sword without dislocating your shoulder. This system, while simple, allows for some tactical decision-making. Do you push your luck and try for a more complex maneuver, or play it safe and aim for a single success? The choice is yours, but remember, fate (and those fickle d6s) can be cruel. ### Editions and Changes **Tiny Dungeon** has seen a couple of iterations. The second edition, **Tiny Dungeon 2e**, streamlined the already simple rules, added more micro-settings, and generally polished the game. Because apparently, even "tiny" can be made tinier. ## References - [Tiny Dungeon: Second Edition - Gallant Knight Games | TinyD6 - DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/230298/tiny-dungeon-second-edition) - [Tiny Dungeon 2E - Gallant Knight Games](https://www.gallantknightgames.com/tiny-dungeon-2e/) - [Tiny Dungeon - Bundle of Holding](https://bundleofholding.com/store/TinyDungeon) - [Experiences: Tiny Dungeons 2e : r/rpg - Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/jp1i8l/experiences_tiny_dungeons_2e/) - [Tiny Dungeon 2e + other genres with d6 any good for solo? : r/Solo_Roleplaying - Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Solo_Roleplaying/comments/1351aps/tiny_dungeon_2e_other_genres_with_d6_any_good_for/)
