Welcome to Delve

You awaken on a beach surrounded by the debris from a wrecked ship, you are not alone as others seem to be also awakening from their ordeal. You had no time to pack and all you have is what is in your pockets or what you can find amongst the wreckage. This begins your adventures on the island of Cragbarren.

Delve is a fantasy RPG of discovery and adventure, you are on a lost island with no way to leave. The island is filled with dungeons, ruined cities, old caves, mad mages and monsters, with a lot of opportunity for an awesome GM to create their own.

This book has everything you need to play:

Both quick and advanced Character Creation.
Rules for lighting and fighting your way across Cragbarren
The town of Wreck Haven
The City of Stench
Gear and Equipment including crafting rules.
Magic spells
Bestiary
And much more.

So grab a sword and some friends and go seek your fortune or just some adventure on the island of Cragbarren.

Could you tell me how you manage the search and discovery of secret doors(if any) into the dungeons?

I would use the Search skill with bonuses if the player actually states they are looking for secret doors.

I'd like to suggest the addition of Mediation [Empathy] as a skill in v2.5 for use with both diplomacy and bartering.

The characters sheets that come with this and Cragbarren are wrong. They're both for another of your games called "Stranded".

I would like to see more Official Character Classes, specifically Alchemist, Herbalist, Assassin, Barbarian, Explorer, Gladiator, Monk, Paladin.......I've played around with the classes already available, and I realise that some of the aforementioned can be approximated using current class builds, but I would prefer to see some official content.

Hi, just bought Delve 2nd Ed today. I can't find a duration for most of the spells. Some have a specific duration or an instant effect but a lot don't seem to have one ie Levitate?

Also, there is no map of the island itself. I can see that that might be on purpose as it can be infinitely expanded but it would be nice if there was map with the landing bay, Wreckhaven, Gnarling and Stench on it perhaps?

There is a Guide to Cragbarren which has a load of maps of various places as well as the island. The city of Gnarling is coming as a separate book.

I really enjoy this book and system. I think you need to do a kickstarter and take all the additional material from the PDFs in the series and combine them into the book. I hate pdfs and while I have them and like the material that they add, I do not like having to rely on my laptop that is prone to crashing and freezing. I do not have a printer. This is a great system and deserves a new edition with all the materials collected into one book.

This would also allow you a chance to re organize and be sure that things are placed in an order for easiest learning of the game. The game would be able to reach a new and greater audience. A new printing would fix some of the print copy issues (my hardcover had many, although still totally worth getting), like a picture out of place and covering some type. You would be able to add some things if you've had any new ideas. A few tables and advice for solo play would be great with the current situation the world finds itself in.

Just a thought....See more

Yeah, the plan is to do a Kickstarter for the Gnarling City Guide which will include a 2.5 of the core rules where I can do all of the above and more. Thanks for your feedback and I am glad you enjoyed the game.

I tried this system on a whim after seeing a review posted online. Our group is made up of one GM and 3 players, and we have played multiple systems, ranging from various d6, d20, "proprietary dice", etc. This was the group's first time playing a d100 system, and we love it. The core book is an easy read (so much so I found I almost read through it in one sitting without realizing it). It includes a beginning adventure that runs smoothly and explains the rules as you go along. Character creation is a breeze. The character sheets are simple and clean. NPC's are well thought out and easy to roleplay (shoutout to Cedric) The art is well done. It has the OSR vibe and that's a good thing. I've since gone back and purchased the companion book, the Castaways guide, and the Everglade and Other Tales pdf. There are a few spelling errors in the book, but they are easily overlooked. If you are looking for a new system, give this one a shot.

No problem. Thanks for making the game! What did you have in mind for the value of coinage in the barter system? I know it has intrinsic value as a metal, and metals have different uses (Iron/steel would seem to be worth more than gold on the island), but most of the setting seems to lend itself to coinage not being worth much. Is there a good "rule of thumb" for determining barter value of coins? Thanks!

To be honest, I loved this. I am building rules where Magic Users can drain Magic Points from other party members in a worse case scenario. Of course Magic is connected to Life, so there may be some unfortunate side effects...... who can say? Muahahahahaha!!!

We are planning a spell book which will have spells for all classes, so that was set in place for in the core book so we would not need to later.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
