The Designing Dungeons Course: Or, How to Kill a Party in 30 Rooms or Less
Free tutorial on dungeon design!
If you are hosting a fantasy adventure game, you own the act of creating dangerous environments, populating them with monsters, designing traps to be overcome, and hiding rewards. In short, you are the master of the dungeon. Creating a dungeon can seem daunting, but it’s really just a series of small, discrete tasks.
Designing Dungeons: Or, How to Kill a Party in 30 Rooms or Less is a free tutorial, including practical examples and exercises, designed to walk GMs through the process of creating a new dungeon from scratch.
The course provides a hands-on approach in an attempt to demystify the process. You’ll learn the nitty gritty of writing a dungeon from inception to completion. Like Bob Ross, you can follow along at home using the provided workbook. And, like Bob Ross says, there’s no wrong way to do things—you can make different choices as you follow along. At the end, you'll have a working dungeon you can actually run at the table. Best of all (did we already mention?), it's completely free!
If you've always wanted to really design your own dungeons but didn't know where to start, this course offers something for new and veteran GMs alike.
