Wasteland Warlords

eden Hudson, James Hunter

D31/100
Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast. Dungeons popped up in shopping malls and airports. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new kind of gold rush. Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his chainsaw-toting brother Joe are going west to try their hand at monster killing. The loot from low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn't the real reason they risked the Infested Zone — they need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in ten thousand hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland.

Cultivator Andy

Walker Miles

D31/100
Wake up. Mine crystals. Don't die. That's the job, and Andy doesn't remember ever having a different one. The guards have guns. The other workers have agendas. The tunnels have monsters that shouldn't exist. On his first shift, surrounded by men who've already made their peace with the dark, he decides he won't be one of them. Then he finds the cavern — crystals bigger than anything on the work floor, whispering secrets the guards would kill to keep buried. It's a path to power, maybe a path out. But he'll have to hide it from everyone until he's strong enough to stop hiding. No one leaves the mine alive. Andy intends to be the first.

Refusing to give up, Aderyn sets out to prove the world wrong. With the help of a young man from another world, she'll tackle dungeons, political intrigue, and continent-spanning quests — showing that a Warmaster can do anything.

Edge Cases

Silver Linings

D30/100
In the Prime Kingdoms, the system dominates everything — dictating strength, skills, and power, and spawning dungeons filled with monsters. But every system has its limits, and it is about to push four oddball adventurers to theirs. There is Derivan, an enchanted suit of armor in an existential crisis; Misa, a tanklike half-orc who loves exploiting the system but misses her family; Vex, an anxious lizardkin wizard who has run away from his; and Sev, a cleric who would rather have tea with his god than worship him. When a simple quest goes off the rails and a mysterious dungeon linked to each of them appears, they discover that something is deeply wrong with the Prime Kingdoms. The system is malfunctioning. The world itself is falling apart. Their only hope is trust, shared secrets, and perhaps a bit of healthy communication.
