Dungeons & Kittens RPG: Core Rulebook

Step into a world where cats rule the ruins of civilisation. Dungeons & Kittens is an original adventure roleplaying game that blends animal tales and Medieval fantasy in a post-apocalyptic world — one where humans have all but vanished, nature has reclaimed the land, and animals have evolved to fill the void. It's whimsical, imaginative, and surprisingly rich.

You play as Kittens exiled by the naughty King Walter, exploring a world teeming with meowgic, makeshift technology, and colourful characters. Tunnel-digging rats with headlamps, magician cats conjuring rainstorms, dogs in tyre armour — this is the new Middle Ages, and it belongs to the animals. The Core Rulebook gives you everything you need to run and play full campaigns in this wonderfully original setting.

Designed to be accessible for younger players while offering enough depth to keep adults engaged, Dungeons & Kittens is a fantastic entry point into tabletop roleplaying — and a genuinely fresh take on the genre.
