Wallet Dungeons

To be honest I sort of forgot I had started uploading things to DTRPG. I’ll update the Wallet Dungeons listing to include the plain text version, and continue my (slow) process of getting the rest of my stuff up there (including Wallet Stations).

Wallet Monsters is slated for a reformatting to bring it more in line with the other two, and when I do that I’ll include a plain text copy as well.

Super cool to hear you’ve used Wallet Dungeons at the table! I love hearing about it actually intersecting with people’s games!

That’s awesome! Glad I could provide even a little bit of a push!

That’d be rad! Please shoot me an email (found at https://awkwardturtle.games to avoid posting it here to be scraped by bots).

Thanks for the kinds words!

My intent for “combine them” is your second example, to add them up. What this looks like is very much up to the reader though. Could be different encounters scattered throughout the large space, or a single encounter that has the characteristics of each rolled entry.

The nice glossy copies are printed with a local printer as actual business cards, but it wouldn’t be hard to find a place that can do color + UV gloss. Even staples or fedex would do a decent job for pretty cheap (assuming you wanted a bunch of copies for some reason).

Otherwise I’ve seen people just home print either double sided, or single sided and fold, then trim and laminate.

Awesome to hear it’s been so useful.

And I have actually gotten other requests for a city version, but I haven’t progressed it past some notes so far. I’ll move it up the priority list!

Awesome, thanks for the mention! Great recommendations otherwise as well, I’m familiar with Yokai Hunters Society but the others were new to me.

Also to answer you question, “AwkwardTurtle Games” is just me (David Lombardo) and Brian (of brstf.games) is a buddy of mine that I collaborate with a lot.

Whoops, thanks for the heads up. I’ll get that fixed.

Thanks!

Two answers to the labyrinth question:

First, you shouldn't be able to get the labyrinth result except on multi dice rooms (Towers and Halls). It is intended that if you have a room that's next to a Hall or Tower, you don't include the entire room in the sum, just the physical die that the room is touching. Small example but if you have [6][6][3] you'd have a Hall with a total of 15 (Arboretum) and a Split with a total of 9 (Kitchen).  I wanted Labyrinth to only be likely to show up if you had a particularly large Hall or Tower, where it would makes sense that the interior could be broken up into a complicated maze. I just didn't have enough space to explain things fully enough to avoid confusion.

Second, the nice part of this system is that even if you don't resolve things the way I intended, you still end up with something you can use. In your case, if I ended up with several single room labyrinths, I'd be tempted to say that they're all connected with portals or some weird non-euclidean geometry. Or a less esoteric answer could be that those are all entrances to a labyrinth that stretches across the floor below the rest of the dungeon.

The third bonus answer is that the exact results the dice spit out is often not super coherent or useful as is, and requires a bit of finessing on the part of the user to make it work at the table.

Anyway, hope that's helpful!

Only one 5 means it's a very short tower!

The non-glib answer is that the generator fails a bit for some combinations of numbers. Rolling multiple fives means you have a tower, rolling just one makes it just another room and some of the specific rules don't make a ton of sense anymore.

If you make either of those please let me know! I'd love to see what other people can do with this idea!

Yeah, you'd stack all the 5's into a single tower three dice high.

The way I determine the room is to add up the entire tower (in the example on the card it's 10+neighbors = 19). Then for things that neighbor the tower, I only count the specific dice that are physically in contact (so for the 3 die it only gets +5 from the tower).

However! It totally works either way you do it, it just shifts the results on the Room table up or down. So if you want more low results only count the top down view, if you want more high results count the entire merged rooms.
