The Game
Cover (Design and illustration: Andrea Rick)
You are a group of anthropomorphic bunnies in a traditional fantasy world who have bought a dungeon to move in there together…
Bunny, We Bought a Dungeon is a GM-less OSR story game for 2-6 players. It needs zero prep and is perfect for one-shots. Just gather some dice, get something to write/draw, open the zine/PDF and start playing!
It's available in English and German, as a printed zine and a PDF.
In 2023, the German version of Bunny, We Bought a Dungeon won a Crystal Stephan (places 4-10) for Best Role-Playing Game in the "Publikumspreis für Eskapismus, Nerdkultur & Phantastik (PEN&P)", short "Goldener Stephan" (Public Choice Award for Escapism, Nerd Culture, and Fantasy).
The Rules
After creating your bunnies (which is quick and easy), you drop 4-12 dice onto a piece of paper. The number of dice determines the length of play. You can also adapt it later during the game.
Based on this, you draw your dungeon map over the course of the game. During that, you narrate how your group of bunnies explores and furnishes the dungeon. 22 random roll tables support you with lots of ideas.
