About the Game

In the perpetual gloom of the underworld’s massive vaults, strange creatures prey on those eking out a living in the ruins of ancient halls. Only the bravest of adventurers prowl the rubble, seeking forgotten riches and wondrous artifacts.

In Deep Below, you take charge of a six-strong warband exploring the underworld’s collapsed keeps and claustrophobic caves. It is both a standalone game and a variant of Five Leagues from the Borderlands, tailored to the deep, dark environment, and integrated to allow characters to transfer between games for an expanded game universe.

Deep Below uses streamlined core mechanics, offering a full campaign experience with its own character progression.

The 116-page full-colour PDF includes:

Archetype-based character creation. Rune Magic, a new mystic art. New origins: Grey Elves, Derzkan, Weaslings, and Windspite Clan Dwarves.
