Drowning & Falling is a light-hearted spoof of Dungeons & Dragons. Characters are defined by 10 helpful and 5 harmful traits (both types range from 1 to 6) , alignment, and class (or race). Task resolution ("challenges") involves rolling 2d6 three times against a target number (set by adding two helpful and subtracting one harmful trait), with the difficulty determining the number of successes needed to succeed. The same trait cannot be used more than once in a challenge, and all challenges involve a chance of drowning or falling.
