Chronicles of Stampadia

About this game

The reign of Stampadia had thousands of years of history of dangerous places and brave mercenaries before disappearing mysteriously from our globe. But Stampadia monks, generation after generation, managed to document relentlessly the story of every single adventurer, the map of every single dungeon, and the clue of every single mystery in a huge tome called Chronicles Of Stampadia. We managed to find a damaged copy in an abandoned basement and it looks like that the book is imbued with some kind of magic: the reader can live every page of its story with just two dice, an eraser, and a small token! We’re trying to recover, translate and digitalize a new page of this book every day on the project website! Chronicles of Stampadia is a print-and-play adventure game inspired by classic roguelikes, board games, and gamebooks that has a little twist: the map, the enemies, the quests, the mysteries, and the traps are mixed and generated by a computer algorithm, as in a roguelike videogame. On the Chronicles of Stampadia homepage you will find a unique dungeon to download, print, and discover every day. —description from the designer
