Goblin Dungeon -ongoing- - Version- 0.1 _hot_ Link

Core Concept: A low-level "starter" dungeon that introduces players or readers to the mechanics of goblin society, traps, and subterranean survival. 1. Dungeon Atmosphere & Lore

Description: A damp, repurposed limestone mine smelling of wet fur and burnt mushrooms. Crude graffiti in Goblin-tongue marks the walls.

Lore: This outpost was established by the "Broken-Ear" tribe after they were kicked out of a larger mountain stronghold. They are desperate, disorganized, and prone to infighting. 2. Room Registry (Draft) Room 01: The Muddy Entrance

Features: Two sleeping guards (low Perception check to bypass). Loot: A rusted key hanging on a peg. Room 02: The Scraps Kitchen Features: A large boiling pot of "mystery stew." Hazard: Slippery floor (Dexterity/Agility check needed). Room 03: The Boss Burrow Entity: "Grog the Slightly Larger." Combat: Grog uses a cracked shield and throws rocks. 3. Mechanics & Balancing (v0.1) Goblin Dungeon -Ongoing- - Version- 0.1

Enemy Scaling: Goblins have high evasion but very low health (1-2 hits to defeat).

Trap Logic: Focus on "loud" traps (falling bells) rather than "deadly" traps to alert the rest of the floor. 4. Development Goals for v0.2 Design a loot table for "Goblin Junk." Add a secret passage behind the kitchen. Define the "Shaman" mini-boss behavior.

What’s in the Box (Version 0.1)

Let’s be clear: this is an alpha. It is not feature-complete. There are placeholder icons, occasional UI jank, and a save system that currently operates on “trust me.” However, the core loop is surprisingly solid. Core Concept: A low-level "starter" dungeon that introduces

The Premise: You are a goblin. Not a hero. Not a chosen one. A green-skinned, pointy-eared scrounger named Grib (default name; you can change it). Your tribe has been scattered by a band of "noble adventurers" (read: murder-hobos in shining armor), and you’ve retreated into the only place they won’t follow: the Deep Tangle—a procedurally generated dungeon that grows more hostile the deeper you go.

Core Features in 0.1:

• Procedural Generation (Basic): Each run’s first three floors are different. It’s not Spelunky-level yet, but corridors twist, traps spawn in new places, and loot tables vary.
• Scavenge & Craft: You can break down rusty swords into scrap metal and turn three scraps into a bouncy spike trap. Very on-brand.
• Stealth Combat: Direct fighting is a death sentence. You rely on backstabs, shoving enemies into pits, and the "Stench Aura" ability (which is exactly as effective as it sounds).
• Tribe Reputation: This is the most intriguing half-baked system. Every goblin you rescue (scattered on floors 1-3) adds a passive bonus to your camp, from extra inventory slots to a 5% chance to find mushrooms instead of rocks.
