#Dungeon23
Hey folks > I saw this over on the EnWorld forums and figured I'd share it. Looks like it could be a lot of fun.
https://www.enworld.org/threads/dungeon ... st-8870640
There are already several variations. Just followed the links within the thread for more info.
I'm going to give it a whirl.

Splitting the thread off so as not to continue to derail this one:

Get together a map and a quick, couple sentences of background, then folks claim different rooms/areas on the map. Actually probably be more old school to let the background grow as the rooms do. We don’t have to be all “ecology of a dungeon” about it, unless it adds to the fun.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Appendix A of the AD&D DMG (1e) is all about random dungeon generation. Appendix C is random monster encounters, G is Traps, H is Tricks, I is Dungeon Dressing.

Ben made a short but really good video about this on his Questing Beast channel a few days ago:
The "Dungeon23" craze is taking over DnD (3:31)
That recommended notebook looks pretty cool, but I like the index cards idea suggested in one of the top comments.

Re: #Dungeon23
Nice video and chock full of gaming links!
My Hobonichi Weeks arrived yesterday
And I'm going to do an alternate type of design I saw somewhere online.

Re: #Dungeon23
Nope. It is an interesting idea and I would love to see what anyone has done though.

Factions, a duchess to rescue, a variety of monsters that make sense being in close proximity, terrain hazards, roleplay opportunities, and a magic shield hidden as a filth shovel!
So far, so awesome!

Re: #Dungeon23
Hey guys I appreciate all the kind comments.
It's been fun (and challenging) so far. I'm delving deeper this month and I'm not sure exactly where to take this. I have an idea of an underground sect of ooze/slime/fungi worshipers but not sure this hasn't already been done to death.
Thoughts?

Re: #Dungeon23
Sounds cool. Just about everything has been done to death so from my perspective it is about how you do it not that it has been done before.
