The Broken Wheel

A tabletop dungeon crawl that never has to be scheduled.

The 2024 tabletop rules, played properly, in ten-minute pieces. On your own, or with people who are never online at the same time as you. Nobody gives up a Saturday.

The problem is not the rules

It is the diary. Four adults, four hours, every fortnight, is why campaigns die — not because anybody stopped enjoying it.

So none of this waits for anyone

A turn takes seconds. Your party can take theirs tomorrow. Your character, your camp and your half-brewed potion are still there in a fortnight.

Alone is a real way to play

Every one of the twelve classes was measured on its own before parties were built. You never need to find anybody to get started.

The rules are the actual rules

Weapon mastery, attunement, opportunity attacks, Hit Dice spent on a short rest. Taken from the published reference document and checked against it line by line, not approximated.

How it goes

Make somebody. Species, background, class, and twenty-seven points to spend. It takes about two minutes and the game explains every choice as you make it.
Take work at the Wheel. A contract off the board, or walk out of the door and find your own trouble in the Long Work below.
Fight, carefully. Positions matter, so does what you are carrying. Rest at a hearth, spend Hit Dice, brew a potion while you sleep.
Come back whenever. Swear to a company, join an alliance, and read what everyone else did while you were at work.

Start

Or leave it blank and name them as you make them. You can change it later.
