Presenting a full megadungeon in a compact format is difficult. <i>Stonehell</i> took one approach and I'll be employing another one, namely to leave a lot of rooms empty of monsters, treasures, and, in some cases, descriptions, to give the referee leeway to make it his own. I will include suggested monsters and treasures, along with descriptions of unique dungeon features, like the "cleric tree," the moon pool, the azoth reservoir, and so on.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-20362749206899228882010-04-02T22:26:43.705-04:002010-04-02T22:26:43.705-04:00Is that a Moon Pool I spy with my X=Ray Dungeon Ey...<i>Is that a Moon Pool I spy with my X=Ray Dungeon Eye? </i><br /><br>No comment :)James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-63527124907606371622010-04-02T22:26:12.757-04:002010-04-02T22:26:12.757-04:00Nice!

But damn, can't you sign the players to a "Won't look a the product" contract so we can get the ongoing "real" D.mount?</i><br /><br>The "real" Dwimmermount includes a lot of stuff not fit for use by anyone but myself. By that I mean that, when I started the dungeon, I had no intention of sharing it with others, so I initially designed a lot of it rather haphazardly and coherently. Those levels probably wouldn't translate well into a published product. My approach changed as time went on, though, so the deeper you go into the dungeon, the closer it is to the place my players have seen.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-60137019354090439882010-04-02T22:22:13.983-04:002010-04-02T22:22:13.983-04:00I wonder what could be found in those large empty ...<i>I wonder what could be found in those large empty spaces?
