Two Things I'd Like

[calithena]

- A 1 page dungeon level in every issue from now on. Send 'em in.

- If anyone still knows how or has old stuff lying around, I'd like a real, honest-to-gosh, old-school ultra-gonzo powerdungeon. There's a fine art to this - it has to push the edge of insanity without becoming a cartoon. Ideally this would be something that's been in someone's basement since the eighties, but if someone wants to try to take a stab at doing one now, that would be cool.

The second one probably can't get published until issue 6 at the earliest, but the first I would really like to get into #5.

Like the 1-page template thing? Map, rooms, encounters, treasure all on one page, and self-contained?

[grodog]

Or, are you thinking of a Level Map a Quarter type thing, Sean?

I have been thinking of submitting an old dungeon of mine, but that... doesn't have power levels. It is empty spaces, then skeletons, skeletons, slightly higher powered skeletons, skeletons, skeleton charioteers, A d**n LICH and then some more skeletons.

Maybe in a later issue when I have run out of new ideas.

Melan, I'll take one of those with a large fries and a Coke, to go.

Mako: yes. I want to start putting a one-page dungeon template in every issue.

Melan, that sounds kind of fun. I am eyeing some of my and my friends' childhood dungeons with similar uncertainty. I would certainly consider such material carefully.

But I do also want an artifact-festooned demonlord-slaying fest.

I've got an EPT megadungeon I could recycle for you; I'd add D&D stats and, because it is a wizard's private plane with connections to all sorts of 'demon' planes, Gamma World as well, or possibly Traveller, or possibly no stats at all, just vague hints at how likely a TPK is at any given location, state your preference.
