 D100 DUNGEON
A pencil and paper game by Martin Knight ©2022
D100 Dungeon is a game in which you will steer an adventurer through underground caves and
dungeons, looking for lost treasures and completing dangerous quests. With each game your adventurer

e
will gain wealth, recognition and become stronger and increasingly skilled in their pursuits. All you
will need to play D100 Dungeon, is a pencil, eraser, a few dice and your imagination.
Your journey begins when you create an adventurer and start performing the dungeon training
missions. Once they have been successfully completed your adventurer will be ready to face some

fil
greater challenges and begin questing in an endeavour to gain notoriety and wealth, rivalling that of
royalty and who knows one day their greatest exploits might even become stories and songs performed
by bards in every tavern throughout the kingdom.

BEFORE PLAYING YOUR FIRST GAME

The first part of this book contains information explaining the rules of the game, and the second part
contains tables that are used to generate the dungeons your adventurer will be exploring. It is highly

e
recommended that you read through the rules at least once before playing your first game and if you
have the time, re-read any sections you might be unsure of. At the back of the book are some adventure
and dungeon sheets that can be photocopied. You will also need to create an adventurer before you start
playing. The dungeon sheets are used to map out the dungeons as your adventurer explores and you
pl
will need one or two dungeon sheets for each quest you play (it is always a good idea to have a few
spare). You might find it useful to photocopy the handy sheet and monster abilities sheet too, which
detail some of the more common rules and will save you time searching through the rulebook. They
can also be downloaded and printed from www.mk-games.co.uk.

DICE
m

To play D100 Dungeon you will need to use three different dice. If you don’t own any dice or do not
wish to buy them, you can always use some of the many free dice apps offered on mobile phones and
tablets. The dice used in D100 Dungeon have ten sides and six sides. The six sided die can be rolled
normally and produces a result of 1 to 6. The ten sided dice are slightly different to each other, and
whilst they both have ten sides, the first is numbered from 0-9 and is called a unit die and the second is
numbered from 00-90 and is called a tens or percentile die. They can be used in two different ways to
produce either a result of 1 to 10 by rolling the unit die (numberer 0-9) on its own, or by rolling them
Sa

together to produce a result of 01 to 100.

8
 Abbreviated Dice
The dice are often abbreviated in the rules, and at times you will be asked to roll a specific die or dice.
They will appear as “d6” for a six sided die, “d10” for the unit die and “d100” to roll both the ten sided
dice together. The abbreviation will often have a number before it which tells you how many dice you
will need to roll, for instance, if you see “2d6” the rules are asking you to roll two six sided dice and

e
add the results together, whilst “1d10” requires you to roll one ten sided die (numbered 0-9).

Dice Modifiers
Sometimes the game will instruct you to alter the result of a dice roll, and this is called a dice modifier.

fil
Dice modifiers will look something like this “1d6-1”, in this instance the game is asking you to roll a
six sided die and deduct 1 from its result. Another modifier may look like this “1d100 +15”, the game
is asking you to roll a d100 and add 15 to the result. Whenever dice rolls show a modifier you must roll
the die or dice and add or subtract the modifier shown for a final result.

D10 and D100

If you are familiar with how a d10 and a d100 are used you can skip this part, otherwise take a look at the
ten sided dice. You will notice that one is numbered from 0 to 9 (unit die), whilst the other is numbered

e
from 00 to 90 (tens die). When you are instructed to roll a d10, roll the unit die and read its result like you
would for a d6. A result of 0 is read as a 10. All other numbers are read as they are displayed.
When rolling a d100 you roll the tens die and the units die together and read the tens die first, followed
pl
by the units die. The tens die has results ranging from 00-90, and you always replace the 0 at the end of
the tens die result with the value rolled on the unit die; for instance, if you rolled 20 on the tens die and
1 on the units die you replace the 0 at the end of the 20 result with the 1 for a result of 21. If you
happen to roll 00 on the tens die and 5 on the units die, you replace the 0 at the end of the 00 result with
the 5 rolled on the units die for a result of 05 or 5.
When a result of 0 is scored on the units die, its value is 0 and not a 10, as would be scored when
m

rolling it alone for a d10 roll, for instance, if you rolled 90 on the tens die and a 0 on the units die, the
result would be 90 because you are in effect replacing the 0 at the end of the 90 rolled with another 0
from the units die rolled.
When the tens die has scored a result of 00 and the units die a 0, the result rolled is in fact 100. The
chart below will help you better understand how the d100 can be read.

 Natural Dice Rolls
Sometimes the rules will stipulate that a natural roll is needed for something to be triggered or to cause
a certain effect to happen. The player must score the value shown on the dice without any modification
being made to the result. For instance, if a natural roll of 1 is required, the player must roll a 1 on the
die regardless of any modifiers.

e
CREATING AN ADVENTURER
When you start playing for the first time you will need
to create a new adventurer; you can begin by taking a

fil
blank adventure sheet and performing the steps below
in order to create your adventurer.
1. Characteristics
There are 3 characteristics used in the game, Strength
(Str), Dexterity (Dex) and Intelligence (Int). When a
player creates an adventurer for the first time they
assign any one characteristic with 50 primary points,
another with 40 points, and the remaining characteristic

e
with 30 primary points. How these are assigned is
entirely up to you; for instance, a player could apply 50
points to Str, 40 to Dex and 30 to Int, or 50 to Dex, 40
to Int and 30 to Str, the choice is yours.
pl
2. Hero Path
Each adventurer has a path they have chosen to follow
and dedicate their life towards learning. By choosing a
path they will benefit from a greater understanding, and
accelerate their learning in its direction. There are three
hero paths used in D100 Dungeon; they are: Warrior,
m

Rogue and Sorcerer. You can either roll on table H -

Hero Path, or choose a path for your adventurer; then,
write it in the box provided on the adventure sheet and
apply the modifiers to the primary characteristics, add
the skill bonuses, and shade in all experience stars µ
shown for the adventurer’s hero path.
Sa

3. Race
Dwarves, elves and humans dominate the lands, and our adventurer will belong to one of those three
races. Either roll on table R – Race, or choose one to determine which race the adventurer will be, then
record it on the adventurer sheet, and apply the modifiers to the primary characteristics, add the skill
bonuses, and shade in all experience stars µ shown for the adventurer’s race.
4. Skill Bonus
Before the adventurer started exploring dungeons in search of lost treasures, they gained a few extra
skills other than those provided by their hero path, or race. Choose any two skills that don’t currently
have any skill bonuses and add +5 to each skill.
