I couldn't find a fan site for one of the best roleplaying games ever invented, so I decided to make one. If you've never heard of Dinky Dungeons, you're in for a real treat. This game is a piece of RPG history. Though it isn't widely known, it had an impact on the rules development of other games. If you've heard of Dinky Dungeons and you're nostalgic about it, please take a moment to visit the Guest Book and tell us about your Dinky adventures.

Advice From The Grizzled Veteran: "Trust your instincts. If a situation looks too quiet or easy, don't rush in."

Adventurer's Horoscope: Take the quest. It is your destiny. Adopt a stray pet.

Famous Last Words: "I throw the rock into the darkness."

Playtesters wanted!
The second revision of the Dinky Dragons system is complete. Now it's time to check play balance. Sign up as a playtester and receive a copy of the complete rules in PDF format. Does the skill system work well? Is combat too weak or deadly? Are the spells effective but not too epic? Send me an email with system comments and suggestions. Anyone who contributes adventures, spells, rules changes or other expansions to Dinky Dragons will be given full credit on this site.

First Module
The first full module is complete, including maps, NPC statistics, and sample dialog. Bold adventurers can now explore the Tower of Dark Sorcery. This combat-light module is a humorous tale of a grumpy old wizard, a mysterious witch, and a clever young genie. Characters can gamble at the inn, chase a pesky phooka, explore an ancient tower, and perhaps even help two old rivals become star-crossed lovers!

Dinky Submissions
Have ideas for a Dinky Dragons rules addition, supplement or module? Submit your idea - we'll publish it on this site and give you full credit. Especially good submissions will earn a gift certificate to J!NX or Think Geek, your choice!

Looking for Doc and Uncle Morty
I'd love to exchange emails with Denton R. Elliott and Phil Morrissey. If we're lucky, perhaps they'll give us a short interview with comments and memories about this amazing game. If you know how to contact anyone involved in the creation or playtesting of Dinky Dungeons, please contact me!
