2D6 Dungeon App

Welcome to the official documentation for the 2D6 Dungeon Appβ€”a complete digital companion and adaptation of the classic-style print-and-play solo dungeon crawler, 2D6 Dungeon, designed by Toby Lancaster (DR Games).

This digital adaptation helps you automate the tedious bookkeeping, card/table references, and paper-tracking of your adventures so you can focus entirely on the exploration, tactical combat, and story!


⚠️ Important Companion App Disclaimer

This application is a digital companion. To play and fully experience the game, you still need to purchase the official rulebooks and files.

  • Get the Game: You can purchase the official rules, tables, and print-and-play materials directly from the DR Games Itch.io Store.
  • Respect the Creator: This app does not replace the rulebook. Instead, it serves as a digital sheet, map constructor, and dice helper to streamline your sessions!

πŸ–₯️ The Home Screen

When you first launch the application, you'll be greeted by the clean, retro-styled Home Page.
