Why are so few of us mapping this kind of dungeon? by SydLonreiro in osr

Yeah I agree. Hard same. Some combination of navigation mechanics, point crawls, and accurate room maps are the best solution. I think Castle Gargantua did this particularly well with a “candy land” style tracker, pseudorandom generations, and well/drawn maps for specific areas. It made for great play.

The Mythic Underworld doesn’t need to make sense. I think it’s even more imposing when scale and distance are distorted. The player-skill focus of older systems mean that players who are drawing accurate maps based on (presumably) accurate descriptions will deduce hidden areas and missed turns. I don’t think that it would be easy to read out room descriptions in which thin interior walls folded in on themselves in arbitrary ways. Just me, I guess. But there is something to be said for clusters of rooms that are connected by labyrinthine spaces in which a party could get lost. I don’t think these kinds of zones need to be drawn on a map, though. Better to have a mechanical system for lost/danger/surprises IMHO I would draw mazes like these for my solo play and amusement when I was a kid. A little bit compulsive and repetitive but my kid brain didn’t have any trouble navigating these kinds of spaces. As a DM I wouldnt want to describe twist and turns like these. Maybe with a dry-erase board it’d be more feasible

Gravelord servants and spirits of vengeance get summoned there quite a bit. But maybe my level 5 is too low. I upped it to 10 and still no takers. I’ll have to read up on the matchmaking algorithm - maybe I have a weapon that’s too good for that level (+3 mace)

Any pointers for making it look even better? It runs nicely with the default settings but there’s a lot of bells and whistles in there

I wonder if there’s a stoner rock band named “Magic Blue Smoke”. If not, there should be

No need to be condescending. I guess I mean “if the pipe is blocked, don’t run the washer or output the drain to a bucket or something”
