Dungeon23 Update February 15

 Well, it was a fun run, but honestly I'm surprised I made it as far as I did! Daily challenges are neat especially when you have the discipline for them, but I am admittedly a hobby butterfly. Still, I have 41 cool dungeon rooms and a multi-level layout done, and that's something. I can always add to it later, but the daily updates have reached their end. Thank you for reading, we'll get some other content up soon.

Dungeon23 February Room 10

10. Cleared cave-in

Dungeon23 February Rooms 8 & 9

8. Empty Room

9. Makeshift Office

Dungeon23 February Rooms 6 & 7

Whoops, missed a day there. That's what happens when you wax poetic about discipline. ;)

6. Vault, locked door

We return to our T-intersection from the beginning of this level.

7. Golem Workshop

Dungeon23 February Room 5

5. Empty Room

Ever wanted to make your players a little nervous? This is a good way. Or maybe it's a nice place for a nap?

Dungeon23 February Room 4

Sometimes it's hard to keep doing something every day. Motivation wanes, inspiration disappears, and sometimes you "just don't wanna." But the discipline you're building is worth it, especially when you need to do literally as little as possible as the baseline. So today I present to you:

4. Empty Room

Dungeon23 February Room 3

3. Cluttered lab, secret storage

Perhaps someone is in here and interested to hear how the maze went?

Dungeon23 February Room 2

2. Mirror Maze

The die is cast! We go to the right, where a relatively simple maze is complicated by mirrored walls, floors, and even the ceiling! Madness!

Dungeon23 February Room 1

1. Junction with Statue

Tomorrow I will roll a D6: on an odd we go left and on an even we go right.

Dungeon23 January in Review

Alright, we made it!

One month down, eleven to go! I wasn't sure how to properly start this challenge (as you can see by the initial entries, and even the earliest entries in the final run), but I settled into it. I now have a ready-to-use dungeon, and so do you! You'll notice that I left off scale (five or ten-foot squares would work fine) and all but the most minimal suggestions of encounters. This is intentional, as early publications assumed that you would be using random monster tables or otherwise filling in the gaps yourself. Maybe not what a lot of people want in a modern product, but it seemed to work well enough back in the day. For me, it has been a feat of mental acrobatics to pare down my thinking and planning, but it's been worthwhile.

Collected below are the three pages that comprise the first three pages and first two levels of our Megadungeon. I'm excited to see what February is like!
