Mega Dungeon Level Ideas

[Hassat Hunter]

Well, I probably not getting agreed upon a lot here.

 

While many mention quests to go to the dungeon, I rather take it further, having several quests added outside of the dungeon asking fro resolution in the dungeon. Keeping the dungeon part of the game, even if it IS optional.

It's also part of not making the dungeon "fire and forget". While I do agree I want good lore and a nice story inside the dungeon I would prefer it if a level would be cut by adventuring and then another level, adventuring. So not 'in and straight to the end' as some people here really like. So absolutely fine if the first level is aimed at level 3 or so and the final actually level 12.

 

As for the content of the levels, I think OE will do just fine.

You can't get more classical than killing rats in a dungeon.

I'm hoping the entire dungeon or at least the last levels of it will be end game content. I know some people may not agree with this, but for such an enormous project and a wonderful concept, I'd really love for it to be something end game that I can enjoy later on and not something I delve into within the first few levels of my character.

I'm assuming that the entire dungeon will be "recommended" for a higher level party. I'd hate to get my expectations whipped up to a frenzy from all the Hype, only to discover that it's nothing more than a giant kobold stronghold. Because that would be the biggest letdown ever.

Hopefully it won't be recommended for anything. Enter at your own risk etc

Wheres the new picture of the megadungeon?

[Loranc]

I only know of the one on the kickstarter page, it's up to 6 levels right now.

Perhaps there is an in-bred community of Necromancers living deep in the dungeon? They've discovered the secret of living (somewhat) safely among the undead, but in the process have become living dead themselves. The community established themselves early in the history of the dungeon and have become cut off from the outside, forming their own culture. They employ the undead as their slaves while working to solve the great eternal mystery of how to become immortal. As they very slowly age and die over the course of centuries, the experiments in necromancy are used to transform their corpses into various sentient abominations; often different from each other and with varying special abilities. These wander the rest of the dungeon, engaging in incomprehensible tasks and using the other undead as their minions. The abominations battle among themselves for power, forming factions and engaging in long-running feuds. The more powerful dwell deeper in the dungeon, while the weaker are forced nearer to the surface, where they scheme to work their way deeper down the pecking order.
