Jon BAfter 114 episodes, close to 3 years of continuous emergent play, and countless memories, 3d6 DTL's campaign of the Halls of Arden Vul comes to end this Tuesday, June 24th, 2025! Bear witness to our last session in the greatest <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/megadungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megadungeon</a> ever conceived. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSR</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPGs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPGs</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSE</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DnD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DnD</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/actualplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#actualplay</a>

martinPartly I just really want to have the "dragon" in D&D, as we hardly ever manage that. Partly, I love the idea of the party really needing to gather information and plan tactics against a single terrifying foe.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/megadungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megadungeon</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#osr</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/dragon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dragon</a>

martinPressure to beat the dragon as soon as possible leads to players having multiple goes at it, starting before they are really powerful enough, learning and adapting as they go. Some crews specialize in recovering bodies and selling them for resurrection them (like Dungeon Meshi). Also, giant spiders that creep around the lower levels and drag bodies off to be preserved in webs, including those left by the dragon. So corpse recovery doesn't involve fighting the dragon.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#osr</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/megadungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megadungeon</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/dragon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dragon</a>

martinI think it would be fun to run an OSR campaign where the goal, known from the outset, is to slay a dragon before it emerges and lays waste to the kingdom.The dragon dwells at the bottom a megadungeon under the city, which has been sealed for centuries to prevent the underworld spewing forth horrors.Now the King is forced by augurs of doom to break the seals and grant licences to any who would dare the darkness beneath, seeking the power to defeat the dragon...<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#osr</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/megadungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megadungeon</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/dragon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dragon</a>

Strange QuarkI went on an adventure in the Wieliczka Salt Mine today. It's basically a 9-level <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/megadungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megadungeon</a>, but we only got to explore levels 1-3.You start by going down 54 flights of stairs to a depth of 65m (level 1). According to the local rumour table, level 9 is 327m down.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Dungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dungeon</a> corridors are standard 10' width. There are 287 Km of tunnels.Everything is carved out of rock salt.

F.

Due to training time for levelling up and a couple of other things, there were times when somebody wasn't available to go into the dungeon. For those times, the player might roll up a backup character, play a henchy, or the other players would agree to advance the timeline so that their character was available.

LexTenebris<a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/@juergen_hubert" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@juergen_hubert</a> The problem with the megadungeon is very much the problem with travel in any context – the initial bits are cool, getting to where you want to go is cool, but the repetitive, tedious bits along the way in the middle are absolutely reprehensible after the first couple of times. Most systems make the process of exploration as painful as they can out of a desire for "realism."Newsflash: Reality is often tedious and boring. That's why we're not out exploring caves and putting our lives in the line every moment we do so.My own feeling is that you should run a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/megadungeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megadungeon</a> in very much the same way you would exploring any sort of outdoor adventure; there are places that are safe enough to camp, there are places with interesting things to do, and then there's that smear of places in the middle that you resolve with just a couple of rolls, dispense with for color, and get on to what you really would rather be doing.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a>
