Adventure! Riches! Death and Madness! (ET Plays Darkest Dungeon)

I write this journal so that I might remember how it all happened, and that I have not gone insane - that the things I and the others have seen are indeed real.

I arrived at the behest of the last correspondence of a distant relation. We even now waging war against an enemy that we do not fully understand. Will we win? I do not know, but if by any chance we fail there might be some record of our findings, so that our effort is not wasted.

My name is....Paranoia.



What is this?

This is Darkest Dungeon, a game by Red Hook Studios and published by Devolver Digital Edit: scratch that. It's published by Red Hook themselves - I'm not sure where I got Devolver Digital from but it. This thread specifically is for a sort of communal LP - I'm going to ask for volunteers as 'adventurers', and let them as a party dictate their actions in battle and in camp.

In most cases I'll explain things as we get to them, however.

Isn't there an intro to the game?

Yeah, there is.



Have a look at it, if you want to.

So how does this play out, anyway?

Darkest Dungeon is a roguelike - a party member's death is final, and cannot be reversed! In addition, each party member has a stress bar - with enough pressure, they can even snap, or have heroic second winds.

If they snap and get even more stressed, however, their body will give out and they will die.

Apart from that, there are several persistent elements, like gold that can be used to buy supplies before delving into a dungeon, and you can upgrade various services around town to unlock new skills or upgrade equipment for your party members.

So what do we need to start with?

I need Four (4) people willing to probably die horribly. With that in mind:
