Megadungeon Map

The players find this somewhere in the megadungeon, showing how the areas connect, where the Gate of Six Keys is and where the keys are.

DVAR said...: A little bit of point crawl inspiration? I read the term recently. Since I have no drawing skills, this is something I can see myself assembling at a session. As Others mentioned on this thread, useful and mysterious - so it is inspiring.; December 6, 2024 at 10:42 AM

Michael Cobden said...: For me, this type of map is perfect for players. One of the best feelings is watching them argue about what those things mean, and meanwhile I take notes because sometimes their theories are so much better than whats in the book or my notes.; December 9, 2024 at 2:46 PM
Severed Fane said...: This is being a neat idea. I have not thought of using a map in-game to encourage exploration of a mega-dungeon.

Did your players entering the dungeon with the full knowledge that it was a mega-dungeon, or was that being a surprise?; December 9, 2024 at 7:30 PM

they didn't know; December 9, 2024 at 7:39 PM
fbnaulin said...: I'll be honest, I'm not sold in the idea about pictorical dungeons. I'm too text guy. I hate those games like Dixit or Cubes Story, you know.; December 10, 2024 at 2:38 PM

Everybody handles information differently. I wonder what you'd think of this:

Arnaud said...: When you speak of megadungeon, how many rooms / encounters ?; December 10, 2024 at 11:06 PM
Peggy said...: Very puzzling… A nice prop to give the players.; December 10, 2024 at 11:07 PM

Riquez said...: I used to do a lot of handouts, tea stained burnt scrolls etc, Ive become lazy & dont do it as much. ive begin running pre-published adventures (gasp!)
I still love things like this, handouts or any physical stuff on the table is enjoyable. I desire to do more of this, but my time seems to slip away these days.; December 12, 2024 at 5:39 AM
Adrian the Bard said...: i started doing them too! although not being good at drawing has me printing on them first, and sometimes the ink coalesces into stains when i pour coffee and it fucks up the page.; December 18, 2024 at 11:03 AM
Adrian the Bard said...: i like the map a lot, saved it as a guideline for when i too shall make a megadungeon prop! i think it's a great tool for changing the experience of exploring the dungeon, on one hand without a map there's the sense of wonder and dread, while with it you get the "aha!" moment when you finally understand where you are or ended up.; December 18, 2024 at 11:17 AM
Zapper said...: I have planted maps inside LotFP adventures only to see players completely bypass the hook.; December 18, 2024 at 4:02 PM
jbeltman said...: I think a lot of players find maps really interesting. They will pore over them. It's a great way of giving them information without it being an info-dump.; December 21, 2024 at 4:25 AM
T5un4m1 said...: It's literally like the "First time, huh?" meme (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs).; December 21, 2024 at 12:13 PM
T5un4m1 said...: It's really funny when players find other people maps. Sometimes there dravn wrong. Sometimes there intentionally wrong. Grinding Gear come to mind.; December 22, 2024 at 1:27 AM
