About

“Dungeon Rats, named after the 7th Heavy Armored Division of the Imperial Guards, is a turn-based, party-based dungeon crawler set in the Age of Decadence world. It's an RPG focused almost exclusively on combat for players who like turn-based combat in general and AoD combat in particular, so if you want to fight your way out of a prison mine (or die trying) you've come to the right place.”
