Duskmarch

Duskmarch is a dice-based RPG in which you create a hero, recruit companions and explore a fantasy world. Your choices shape its stories and outcomes as you travel between locations, complete quests and fight tactical, turn-based battles.

Create your hero and party

Roll dice to determine your hero’s attributes, then choose an archetype such as a rogue, warrior or spellcaster. Earn experience to level up and improve skills or spells. Recruit companions with unique abilities, manage their inventories and customize their gear to build a party suited to your strategy.

Explore the world

Travel across a 2D world map by spending movement points to reach locations, from eerie forests to ancient ruins. Each location can lead to stories, dialogue and battles, with skill checks that let you resolve conflicts peacefully or through combat. Castles serve as hubs with shops for gear upgrades, quests for rare loot and opportunities to meet allies. Rest to replenish movement points before setting out again.

Make choices and uncover stories

Location-based tales introduce events, characters and mysteries. Dialogue choices and attribute checks can let you negotiate peace, uncover secrets or enter a fight. Castles contain networks of stories and battles, as well as points of interest where you can find rewards or companions. Your decisions shape the outcome of these adventures.

Fight with dice

Combat is turn-based, with initiative determining the order of actions. Move across battlefields, swap weapons, use abilities or cast spells to outmaneuver your foes. Each attack rolls a 20-sided die, testing your hero’s prowess against enemy defenses; damage dice also roll across the battlefield. Victories earn experience, coins and loot, while you can flee if a fight turns against you.
