DUNGEONS

There's been a lot of threads around here about monsters. Dragons, chimeras, the undead... Now, that's all well and good. We should be concerned about these threats. But, really, what good is a monster without a good ol' fashioned DUNGEON?

Look at that thing. PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THERE.

Look at this one:

That is not a DUNGEON. It is a tomb. Get it right.

IT'S A CRYPT, YOU GOOSE.

I- okay. Technically right. Fine.


But, really, we should talk about DUNGEONS. Good DUNGEON design, how to escape if you find yourself in a DUNGEON, and maybe your favorite DUNGEONOUS hang-out spots. I guess we could also talk lesser underground complexes, too. But they're not nearly as cool.

My favorite DUNGEON?

This motherfucker right here, from the Oracle of Ages on GBA. Spent hours trying to crack this thing, before I realize that I had to think on a 3d level in a 2d game. All of the Zelda GB/GBA DUNGEONS were amazing, in my humble opinion.

    Look, the real question here, is: would Dungeons take human form for breeding purposes?

    That last one isn't a dungeon, where's the torch you can pull to make something open?

    What would a Half-Dungeon character bring to the table, I wonder?

    No, the dungeon is your home.

    speaking of which, Legend of Grimrock and Dungeons of Dreadmor are wonderful games.

    What is the Optimum number of levels in a dungeon


    I wanna say somewhere 5-8. Less and it's like come on why you even wasting my time. More than that and you know there's a couple filler levels in there.

    As much as we would want this, it just collapses into a man-cave

    It depends on if you want to use pitfalls as a method of puzzle-solving and travel. They need more levels than simple dungeon models.

    If you're using pitfalls I can see levels in the dozens. Slides, ladders, tomb raider style crap to climb up, gaps you can't cross without a whip.

    The dungeon thread exists right as the dragon thread gets locked.

    A sad day.

    For all the times I've played it or seen it discussed, there haven't really been any dragons when it comes to Dungeons & Dragons. What gives?

    So when this thread is locked you have to make the "GOLD! JEWELS! RICHES BEYOND IMAGINATION!" thread.
