There is a "who built it" and "why something this big, what's its purpose" and "what happened to them" behind it all, but in my world the ruins are thousands or tens of thousands of years old. The world is an after the apocalypse world. For me as a player it is all about exploration and gaining both knowledge and treasure. As the referee, while the dungeon and the world have a history, there is no pre-written story, i.e. script, i.e. railroad, I don't foist any of that on the players. They are free to go where they want and to set their own agenda. And IMO exploration is not characterized as "without a specific aim", exploration is a specific aim IMO. Yeah, different philosophy of gaming. Glad you enjoyed the read. Curious to see what you think by the end of the year.<br /><br />Also the #dungeon 23 is just about designing rooms, I am going a little beyond just the rooms content to add a little more context.Halenar Frosthelm™, The Perilous Dreamer™https://www.blogger.com/profile/03872120077602032749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317543264462975785.post-25640109187869860652023-01-01T12:32:07.265-05:002023-01-01T12:32:07.265-05:00An interesting read.

As a writer, I like the story, not the "hack and slash" most commonly associated with "dungeons," in particular.<br /><br />When I do run a dungeon, it's more of a "who built it" and "why something this big, what's its purpose" <br /> and "what happened to them" type thing. In truth, the monster races that we usually face, do not build such things.<br /><br />So I don't wander about dungeons without a specific aim. For me, "treasure hunting" is not really a "specific aim," unless you're looking for a specific item.Mystic Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593826779432906953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317543264462975785.post-39840632605370115472022-12-03T16:49:58.214-05:002022-12-03T16:49:58.214-05:00Iron Falcon was already on my wanted list of purch...Iron Falcon was already on my wanted list of purchases bur now I'm going to get both of these products!Charlie Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899037807693796298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317543264462975785.post-28862466481551075202022-11-28T00:52:46.764-05:002022-11-28T00:52:46.764-05:00Thank you, "ancient old and grognardy" w...Thank you, "ancient old and grognardy" works for me!Halenar Frosthelm™, The Perilous Dreamer™https://www.blogger.com/profile/03872120077602032749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317543264462975785.post-65388499600628004602022-11-27T21:48:58.157-05:002022-11-27T21:48:58.157-05:00I absolutely love those attributes!

It makes the abilities stand out from the crowd because they are defined by three words combined into an abbreviation rather than one all-encompassing word that doesn't necessarily fit. <br /><br />I like the inclusion of extraordinary abilities for all of the abilities instead of strength only. If somebody wanted to house rule that a race got an adjustment to the extraordinary ability roll that could be done quite easily.
