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!
Next Month: Avengers April: Super Hero
