The FREE quickstart is available here: https://mmgorman.itch.io/tumquickstart

If you've seen my older post about TUM from November, this is the new definitive version of the quickstart. Tighter mechanics. Clearer language. More art. More dwarven.

If this is your first time seeing it, Those Under the Mountain is a ttrpg about dwarves. A love letter to Dwarf Fortress and the OSR, you and your intrepid party of pioneers take to the Untold lands to begin anew.

The game follows an in-game weekly cycle where the labor of your dwarven kin is spent to advance your fortress. Carve grand halls. Craft legendary artifacts. Delve into the deep. After labor is spent, survive the dangers of the Untold Lands of Carrion in trad ttrpg format. Fight goblins, viscious chickenlegs, and the unholy abomination of ancient horrors! Then, begin the cycle again.

All art, design, and writing is done by real people, mostly me. The full game is set for a crowdfunding campaign later this year.

From the quickstart to Those Under the Mountain: "These underrealm ambush predators resemble giant slugs with eye stalks and many tentacles. They hide in the ceilings of caves amid stalactites and drop on unsuspecting prey. Their primary offense is a long prehensile radula, an appendage covered in razor sharp serrations. 

Sensitive to sound, they can be scared off using high-pitched whistles. Singing or screams can stun them, or scare them off entirely. According to the duergar, who live alongside Blithlers, they fry up nicely as well"
