What is the stuff that adventurers are made of? Nobody knows for sure. But Kadzjim was definitely made of it. He was a full blooded Arab male, six and a half feet tall (which is huge among his folk), with a strong and supple body. He was a good at fighting, especially at boxing and at throwing knives, and he was very nimble too. He loved to travel, and his curiosity was second to none. But maybe even more peculiar to him was his excellent sense of smell.

The first thing to do when you want to play a game of Dark Dungeon?, is create a Character. The Character is the role you are going to play in the adventure (at least if you are a player, and not the Game Master? of this particular game). You can be almost anything you want, as long as it is within the bounds of the game setting, and as long as it is not a too powerful character?. You cannot be the very best, all powerful, all knowing super hero as of yet - because the game would not be so much fun then (where’s the point in playing, if you already have everything?).

So, in Dark Dungeon you can basically be any sort of person in a fantasy setting: a knight, a sorceress, a thief, a priest, a wizard’s apprentice, a mercenary warrior, a courtesan, a noblewoman, a barbarian clan member, and so on. Usually, characters will be humans, but some may be elves, halfelves, or dwarves too. The first thing to decide is which of these sort of roles you’d like to play. Once you have decided on that, you can start building up your character and flesh it out.
