Dungeon Week at Musings!

April 11, 2009 by The Chatty DM

dungeon-mapI love me a dungeon!  I really do!

Starting with the  gaming reports of the first session of my Primal/Within campaign, all posts of this week will relate to Dungeons and the goodness that comes from them!

Regardless of the version of D&D we favour, most of us share a love for this archetypal adventure locale (even you 2e fans, I’m sure you had some guilty dungeon crawling pleasures).

Be it the recent recrudescence of Megadungeons or the more succinct 5-room dungeon, there’s so much to love about dungeons.

I feel its time we set aside Edition Wars and stop all this raging against the questionable buisness policies from some clueless corporate giants for a few days. We should start sharing our common love for the Dungeon instead.

That’s why I’m telling you to get ready for this week’s big announcement!  On April 14, Chgowiz and I will launch what I think is the biggest contest ever on the RPG blogsphere.  I’m sure you’ll love it and the number of prizes for it is absolutely phenomenal!

So get you torches, 10-feet poles and iron spikes ready, because we’re going to Dungeon Crawl like it was 1975!

    “On April 14, Chgowiz and I will launch what I think is the biggest contest ever on the RPG blogsphere.”

    Tease! I’m hooked.
    (And CommentLuv has been oddly appropriate lately.)

    Cool 1975, Captian Kangaroo, Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner hour, American Bandstand, 3rd grade… uh maybe not. Classic Dungeons? Count me in.

    Huzzah! Bravo to some positive momentum on the gaming front online. It’s been a dark cavern filled with raging grognards and compulsive haters lately 🙂

    When I think of the formative D&D experience, I instantly imagine opening up ‘Keep on the Borderlands’ and seeing those draconian grid maps…Yeah, dungeon week sounds like fun!

    @Anders: Hey, I’m all about the teasing! You’ll see, it will be totally worth the wait!

    @Vulcan: Man, I started learning English watching Captain Kangaroo and I was slavishly following the Bugs Bunny & Road Runner show, heck I knew the song by heart before I understood what the words meant!

    @Warlord: Thanks man, I really want the hobby to move forward and grow from our online communities. All the hate and the drama slows down (and destroys) what will become something so much awesome!
