Here's a quick sneak peek into the first quadrant of Level 1 of Dreadrock. I am in the process of finishing up the key and putting it into a nice little PDF for download here, which I hope to have complete by the middle of the week.
This area is where adventurers will start out in the dungeon. This quadrant is the current home of the orc tribe I described in my previous entry, the Rakshir Orcs. As such, the density of monsters vs empty rooms will be a bit higher for this section. Of course, feel free to use this current map and key it however you like.
Area 1 is the entry point, via a dimension door from the tavern in Dreadrock Bluff. Naturally, you could replace the dimension door with a stairwell from a ruined keep, or a cave, whatever your preference.
**edit**
Note: This is only the first of 4 planned sections that make up the entirety of level 1 of the dungeon. There will be multiple entrances into the dungeon in the other sections as well as multiple entrances to level 2 in those subsequent quadrants when I map them out.
Nice Dungeon! I like your mapping style... probably because it looks a little like mine!
ReplyDeleteSomething to keep in mind, a single entrance is a *very* limiting factor in a megadungeon.
Also, I don't see any sets of stairs going down to a lower level...
Thanks! This is only the first quadrant. There will be 4 sections that make up the entirety of level 1. This is just the first of those sections.
ReplyDeleteThere will be multiple entrances into the dungeon in the other quadrants as well as multiple entrances down to level 2 when I map them all out.
I love the idea of multiple entrances. That allows for a non-linear approach to gaming, which is something I really dig.
