Last year, I tried out a demo of Paper App Dungeon. And I did not enjoy the experience. And I really did not like that there wasn’t a PnP option, particularly since the spiral notebook format doesn’t lend itself to lamination.
Then, I learned there is a PnP option. In fact, I learned that Gladden Design has a number of PnP products. Including later Paper App designs that have been better received than dungeon.
At some point, I do plan on properly looking into their catalog. However, they had a tiny free game Roll for the Goal. That I felt like I could try out right now.
It’s a soccer game where you draw a line to the goal on a dot grid. Roll a die for distance. If you end next a defender, roll off against their value. Roll under, you lose.
It’s a nothing little exercise but it answered all my issues with Paper App Dungeon. You actually have choices and there’s a combat system.
In fact, I went back and tried the Paper App Dungeon again to see if I had been wrong about it. Nope. Still don’t like it.
However, Roll for the Goal has made me decide I want to eventually look further into Gladden Design and Tom Brinton’s work.
