Undaunted
Do you enjoy solo RPGs, but want more pressure, clearer consequences, and a world that pushes back?
What is Undaunted?
Undaunted is a solo-play ruleset for Adventurous Fantasy RPG.
It lets you run full campaigns alone using clear procedures, Moves, explicit consequences, and constant world pressure.
You explore wilderness and settlements, delve dangerous dungeons, take on quests, form bonds, and face escalating threats.
Undaunted replaces the missing GM with a solo engine that keeps play moving and the world reacting.
It is built to be fast, structured, and unforgiving in a fair way.
What makes Undaunted unique?
Most solo RPG tools focus on generating ideas.
Undaunted focuses on generating pressure.
It’s designed first and foremost as a solo game-engine, not a prompt engine.
What that means in practice:
- A closed-loop system where outcomes feed back into procedures
- Explicit consequences instead of vague “add a complication” results
- Pressure that exists between moves, not only inside them
- A Doom track that escalates the world regardless of player intent
- Campaign-level mechanics that create long-term consequences
Undaunted doesn’t ask you to invent momentum.
It creates it.
What’s included?
Undaunted contains everything you need to run Adventurous solo, using clear procedures and a Move-driven engine.
Core sections include:
- Moves: 15 core Moves covering facing challenges, resting, wilderness travel, settlement play, and dungeon exploration.
- World Generation: A tight procedure for generating your own version of the Grey Coast.
- Wilderness Exploration: Rules and procedures for exploring the world, generating points of interest, and encountering unique NPCs and dangerous foes.
- Settlement Generation & Exploration: Tools for creating settlements and exploring them, including event tables for villages, towns, and cities, useful establishments, and tavern events that push play forward.
- Dungeon Exploration: Procedurally generate dungeons as you explore. No pre-built maps. Rooms, threats, and discoveries emerge during play, keeping delves dangerous and unpredictable.
- Encounter Tables: Terrain-, locale-, and scenario-based encounter tables. You never invent danger. The game does it for you.
