PSYCHODUNGEON is a fantasy workplace action drama, played using No Dice and No Masters. It's a tabletop roleplaying game set in a world of mobile phones and magic spells, mass transit and malevolent demons, the supernatural intermingled with the everyday.

In Glyndain, when a persons trauma hits a breaking point, their troubles manifest physically as a psychodungeon full of monstrous nightmares. Plumbers are called in to clean out the dungeons and close them off. It’s difficult work. Dangerous. The kind that follows you home. Part adventurer, part handyman, part therapist. Still, it’s a living. You’ve got bills to pay and rent to make. It’s time to go down, down into the PSYCHODUNGEON.
