A couple of months ago, I splashed out and bought the "Bundle of Holding!" package. As well as the basic Darkfast Dungeons game, it contained a load of extra material for the game and the basic Save the Day game. All-in-all, the whole download was just over 500 MB!
But, for the time being, I am just concentrating on the basic Darkfast Dungeons game.
Darkfast Dungeons is a print and play tabletop game from Okumarts Games. The idea is that you download the game files, print them up and start playing. It costs (at the time of writing) USD 14,95 from DriveThruRPG.
Initially, this seems fairly easy, but to be honest, like most things, if you want your game to look good, you need to put a fair bit of effort into it. The page on DriveThruRPG says:
"You will need a colour printer (or access to a printing company like Staples, Fed Ex Office or UPS Store), cutting tools, glue, card stock paper, matt board (heavy cardboard) and time."
If this puts you off, you could try a quick-start approach, by just printing everything up on normal paper, even just in black and white to have a few quick games while you are putting it together with colour printing and with more durable materials.
The Bundle download contained the following files:
- Basic Rulebook 1E.pdf
- bases.pdf
- Character Cards-blank.pdf
- Character Cards.pdf
- Character Minis.pdf
- Game Cards.pdf
- Gazebo Promo.pdf
- Green Knee Promo.pdf
- Marker Sheet.pdf
- Miracles And Spells.pdf
- Opponent Cards-blank.pdf
- Opponent Cards.pdf
- Opponents 1.pdf
- Opponents 2.pdf
- Opponents Bosses Cards.pdf
- Opponents Bosses.pdf
- Other Opponents Cards.pdf
- Tables.pdf
- Talent Cards.pdf
- Wild Cards Dark Secrets.pdf
- instructions.jpg
- usinglayers.jpg
- Ghost Woods.pdf
I have, so far, printed up the highlighted files.
I usually make my paper-minis by printing them up on either paper, or even better, A4 label paper (it's self-adhesive, but costs much more!). I stick them to waste cardboard, such as from cereal packets and so on.
I used to print direct to art paper/card /180 to 200 g/m2, but my new printed doesn't seem to like that thick paper.) I am also fitting the build in between work and redecorating the house
One also worth noting, is that all the figures' PDF files have layers, which means that you can switch off (or on) what you can see and print. For example, you can switch off the explanatory text and logo from the page and save a bit of ink. With the figures though, this means that you have options for the colours of the the clothing. So, if you have several players all wanting to play the same character, each one could have a different colour. You can even print them up as black and white line-art and colour them in yourself, which I think is a damned neat idea.
