Building a Better Dungeon
Since my last post, I've run the Cha'alt campaign twice, once on Roll20 and once in my face-to-face home game.
The sessions have been fun, and it's been a learning experience (playtests always are, which is why we should do them whenever possible). However, there have been times when I feel my creation is less than inspired. That's not surprising since this is all a rough draft of sorts. It's got all the quality and refinement of a Roger Corman picture.
As neat as that is, I've done the B-movie version of dungeons (and many other things) to death. I've come to realize that there's a lot of stuff I don't know or haven't thought of when it comes to a fully realized dungeon.
Since I want this one to be the best it can be, I'm pulling out all the stops!
I'm not too awesome nor fucking boss to admit when I need help. So, upon Endzeitgeist's recommendation right over here, I'm reading up on the subject. Sure, I'm probably more or less aware of 85% of the material covered, but sometimes you've got to dig deep in order to reach that last 15%.
And that's what I'm after! So, while I digest that book, if anyone has a suggestion to make, I'm in the mood to buy and read PDFs on dungeon design. Please feel free to comment with your own recommendation.
