Caves & Catacombs is a solo dungeon crawling game based on Advanced Aventuras Heróicas (Solo), my expanded version of Aventuras Heróicas, a game published in Brazil in 1991 and heavily inspired by HeroQuest.

Though derived from a board game, Caves & Catacombs is meant to be played with just pencil, paper and some dice. In fact, the main reason it exists is to make the experience of those old dungeon crawler games portable and playable solo.

Salve, irmão! Tem alguma versão em português?

Opa! Você encontra a primeira edição no meu antigo blog: https://bit.ly/candccg

How does poisonous bite interact with the character during battle.  Example encounters Greater Zombie has poisonous bite.  

When poisoned, a character loses 1 Vitality for every action performed until healed. This includes attacking, spell casting, and any other action, whether it consumes a combat turn or not.

Love the atmosphere, exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know a way to play with my wife or something that is the same classic dungeon vibe? Thanks!

Glad to know you're liking the game! To answer your question, you and your wife can each create one or more characters and take turns with dungeon generation rolls. This way, you'll both have a hand in shaping the adventure while also taking part in it.

thank you! love to have the creator's input on something like that, very happy! great illustrations btw

Hey I’m in love with the game and the instructions are clear and simple.

Though I’m a bit confused about the rule for generating segments. Let’s say I roll a 4 squares corridor size and a U shaped corridor, how I’m supposed to fill the whole “U”? I’d need at least 5 squares for doing the smallest U shaped corridor.

Hi!

I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the game!

Regarding your question, the segment size in squares is just a reference, and you don't need to follow it strictly. In cases where the segment size seems insufficient to accommodate a certain shape, you can ignore one (or both) of these rolls to generate the dungeon in the way you find most interesting ;-)

Thank you for your support!

any chance to use paypal? :)

I had some trouble with PayPal, so I disabled it. You can also find the game on DriveThruRPG, but don’t hesitate to contact me through my email, which you can find on my linktr.ee profile.

thx! is there also the remastered version :)?

The current version is the Remastered Edition, and I’m working on a new edition for the Encounters supplement.

Thank you for your support ;-)

this looks neat! will this ever get community copies? thanks so much.

I will take a look into this later on.

Hi. What were the updates on the latest version? I just printed mine two weeks ago and I'm wondering if it's worth reprinting a new copy.

Hi. Nothing new. Just fixing some minor typos ;-)

Excellent! But it looks like I'm going to be reprinting Little Town :)

really awesome! look forward to a delve soon

Thanks! I hope you have fun :-)
