DURF

An Expanded edition of DURF is currently in the works. Support me on Patreon to get early access to the latest drafts!

DURF is a rules-light dungeon-fantasy RPG in the vein of games like Knave, Troika! and Into the Odd.

This game uses the OSR elements I personally like (risky combat, simple stats, and prepping before an expedition) but also uses more modern ideas (reduced bookkeeping, quick character generation, a simple advantage system etc.) to make the game easy to pick up and move along smoothly.

Give it a go if that sounds like something that might tickle your barnacle!

Check out The Lair of the Gobbler, a low Hit Dice dungeon written for DURF.
