MEGA DUNGEON MARCH PT 4


The Mega-Dungeon. Who built it, why did they build it, whats in it?
We have taken a look at some of the best the hobby and explored some of the ways to make the story of the Mega-Dungeon more interesting then Ork/Room/Pie so that our heroes have a reason to keep coming back.

Now lets face it though, even after all this the real reason we love Mega-Dungeons is Monsters and Treasure, epic puzzles that make no sens and the big bad at the end.
That is if there is an end and no matter what the mega-dungeon does have to end, not in the sens that “well you got to the last room and killed Orcus so I' am throwing this away” end, because a good mega-dungeon will live on and on through each person who explores it and each person who runs it. Look at Castle Greyhawk.
But all stories end, even in our hobby. Characters reach 20th level. Players move away, games get boring. Mega-Dungeons end!
The question is how do you want yours to end?
A big fight at the end with a huge boss monster and the players retiring?
Passing the Mega Dungeon on to others to run by publishing it-Like Barrowmaze?\
Posting blogs about it like this one?
All stories end, I chose to end my Mega Dungeon story this Wednesday March 25th at Seths games and Anime with a big boss fight at the end, before we take a month off to play Supers.
The main theme of the Mega- Dungeon March campaign was the party was looking for a long lost magic submarine called GAO SHARK! Ages ago GAO Shark had been a mechanism used for good, but it had been lost and used by the forces of evil as a Pirate vessel (This is Freeport after all) . Year after year the mutated Minatorycrew set out from there secret base inside the Dungeon to attack ships and take there cargo.
This all comes to a stop as the final fight will be an epic slug fest between the party and the crew of the ship.
Should the party be successful then Mega Dungeon March will come to an end. They beat the Big bad of the scenario and got a ton of EXP and stuff and a Robot Shark!
If the party fails then mega Dungeon March ends with the villains victorious, the power of GAO SHARK remains in the hands of the Mutated Minotaur Crew who will then make a deal with the evil adventuring company of VAIN or perhaps align them selves with the 4 lichs?
No matter what the story ends at 10Pm March 25th.
All stories have to end, that’s just the nature of Stories.
Perhaps in may we will begin a new Mega-Dungeon and a new party of adventures will be ready to plunge into the dungeon and face the various tasks awaiting them
And yes, GAO Shark is 20 ft so yes I did manage to fit in that 20” shark in the 10” room.
Thanks for exploring the mighty madness that is mega-dungeons with me
Till next time'
Stay excellent!
