Gnome Quest
A downloadable game
Gnomes!
Gnome Quest is a family friendly TTRPG about exploring the mountains where the gnomes have made their home. You'll traverse tunnels, fight monsters, and discover new peoples and lands within the mountains!
Using a simple 2d6 system and played either solo or in a group, you'll create a character, generate maps for the mountains, and explore.
After designing Mech Hammer, I really liked the mini-zine format and thought it would be the perfect little package for making a game for my seven year old while he's home this summer.
This is a work in progress but the foundation of the game is the 2d6 and generative exploration/dungeon crawling. My goal is to have three mini-zines: Player's Handbook, GM Guide, and Atlas. From there, I may continue to expand the game, depending on how my son likes it.
Come follow along.
Inspired/influenced by Mausritter, Brighthammer, Tunnel Goons, and Kal Arath, among other games. The biggest influence, however, are the stories I told my son when he was between the ages of 2 and 4 about a gnome and his dwarf friend exploring their mountain, fighting goblins, and protecting their friends.

Lovely little game, bravo!
Thanks! My son has been trying it out today so I've already made some revisions. Going to update the files in the next few days.
