<p><em>Donjon</em> is a fantasy game that is both a parody of and an homage to <em><a title="Dungeons & Dragons" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons">Dungeons & Dragons</a></em>. Based on the result of die rolls in conflict resolution, players get to add facts to the situation, which gives them power to steer the adventure in directions the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Game master" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_master">game master</a> doesn't expect.</p>
