Once more unto the Pit
A downloadable game
A Brutal Solo TTRPG Demo
The pit does not remember your name.
It only remembers the coal, the blood, and the bodies left behind.
Once More Unto the Pit is a free, rotpunk solo TTRPG where you descend into a collapsing mine to dig, bleed, and claw your way back to the surface.
Compatible with Mörk Borg, but nor required.
It’s dangerous.
It’s random.
It’s cruel.
And you won’t be the first to vanish here.
This is a standalone, early-access demo for the upcoming full game, Of Coal & Corpses — a sprawling Spiritual Rotpunk TTRPG of overland hex-crawling, dungeon delving, faction warfare, and mining scabs trapped under the iron grip of the Coal Authority.
In This Demo:
-
Solo dungeon crawling through collapsing pits
-
Randomised rooms, peril, loot, and monsters
Simple mechanics, harsh consequences
-
Play, die, try again — the pit doesn’t care
What’s Coming in the Full Game:
-
Overland hex-crawling across cursed lands
-
Massive, labyrinthine mines to explore
-
Multiple character backgrounds and hidden endings
-
Factions, day/night cycles, camping mechanics, and more

Hi this looks neat and I'm following the KS launch, the game refers to Creature and Peril tables. I don't see either. Did I miss something?
The creature & peril tables are on the top of page 5 (front page as 1)
d'oh. I was modifying it for a pages format and I may have accidentally cut off a page! Thank you. When's the projected launch of the KS?
ah no worries, easily done.
honestly, it depends how quickly it gains traction in terms of campaign followers but I’d like to say in 3 weeks time. End of July, start of August. Could be a little sooner, could be a little later. But if you follow the campaign you’ll be the first to hear when it launches.
I’ll probably announce a date on here and my other socials to give people like a weeks notice before launch.
Would it be possible to get a pages upload in addition to the spreads? It would solve OP's problem and the problem for any future players.
And this is fun so far!
oh absolutely yeah! I’ll get one exported and uploaded when I get 5 this evening.
Will post a devlog update with it as well so people know it’s available.
Thanks for the suggestion!
And it’s awesome to hear you’re enjoying Once more into the Pit! Would love to hear more about how get on with it or if you have any feedback/ thoughts on it do drop me a line!
