01Book one

The No-Kill Dungeon

The dungeon is open. Please wipe your boots.

Somewhere beneath the hills, a dungeon has decided it would rather host than hunt. The skeleton keeps impeccable manners, the minotaur pours a perfect pint, and the slimes are delighted to see you. Adventurers come looking for a fight and leave with a full belly, a new skill, and a reason to come back.

The No-Kill Dungeon 2

Business is booming, and the regulars have opinions.

Word has spread, the doors are busier than ever, and the dungeon keeps growing new rooms nobody planned for. With new maps to draw, new monsters to welcome, and a crew that refuses to lose a single friend, running the coziest dungeon in the realm is about to get a lot more interesting.
