Rumor has it that 'something strange and terrible lurks in the abandoned monastery' located in a fen outside of town. In today's edition, I intend to dig into the background information found primarily in the first three paragraphs of the 'The First Dungeon Adventure' section on page 96. But even in the tiny amount of material provided there is a wealth of detail that will help the obsessive DM to extrapolate an entire adventure out of this tiny fosselized finger bone of a dungeon. To describe the sample dungeon as 'unfinished' would be an understatement on appearances, this thing was barely even started. As you're probably aware the sample dungeon included a map of a single 'dungeon' level and a write up detailing the first few rooms along with a smattering of background information that indicates that the dungeon is beneath the ruins of an abandoned abbey. It should be no secret by now that I like to analyze the crap out of esoteric stuff that only a few members of our species care about (see The Restenford Project as further evidence), but that's kind of what the OSR blogosphere is all about, right? No, you say? My mistake.Ĭlass, please turn to page 95 of your Dungeon Masters Guide.Īnyway, the latest object of my obsession is, if you haven't guessed already, the sample dungeon provided in 'The Campaign' section of EGG's DMG beginning on page 94.
