- Getting stronger while you play? Like with weighted dice? 
- If only we had a Generic Universal RolePlaying System. You could even give it a clever name, like G.U.R.P.S. - Or HERO System if you want to be heroic (and really crunch those systems) 
 
- You could maybe just remove the mechs from lancer. Maybe like double the health pools of pilots so they fight longer 
- I bet you could build something off of Starfinder. - Yes. Starfinder has planets, and some planets have caves. - Yes! Exactly! And some of the aliens in those caves might be somewhat monstrous! 
 
 
- Go big and try Rifts. There’s at least some way you could force the GM to have a cave oriented game in that one. - Oh! Set it in Missouri and be ordered by the Coalition to find the fabled Cheese Caves! 
- Theres a cool game called Slugblaster which has a similar concept, except that you’re going into alternate dimensions. I am sure you could handwave the dimensional travel as caveing 
- I hear Dungeon World is pretty good! - Check out Uncommon World for a wonderfully refined version! - Thanks so much! - https://troypress.itch.io/uncommon-world for anybody else wanting to check it out - Appreciate you linking it! 
 
 
 
- It would be a stretch but I think Dawn Patrol could work.
