INTRO

Going into 2023 the #ttrpg TableTop Role-Playing Games community of Twitter is enthusing about ‘dungeon23’ open project. 

Originally envisaged as ‘draw one classic tabletop roleplaying game type of dungeon room per day’ to create megadungeons. 

However, I am currently nowhere close to my studio to be able to draw or design. I’m travelling through my ancestral homelands and have to make do with my phone which contains over 8000 notes of bits of my writing, ideas, etc. So that’s what I can do right now. Put my imagination into a new blog for the purpose. It’s come out as a Select Your Own Path multi-option game-book. 

One ‘room’ may comprise of multiple entries and options at the end of each paragraph. Although these entries are dated one per day, sometime I will release a group of them days early (and probably sometimes a few of them days late). I write them in batches of associated story content. I have a busy life which means I don’t always have time to focus on this project every day. As a generalisation I am aiming for: 

ONE STORY SECTION PER MONTH (thirty 'rooms'). 

When creating scenarios I usually make them location based. I build the world from places where things might happen or have happened. 


Also however, as we go into 2023 I released a commercial product which is literally a megadungeon-builder. The Infinite Castle is available for $4.44 from DriveThruRPG. So to dedicate every day of 2023 hand-crafting megadungeon rooms on the back of that seems somewhat of an overkill and a misuse of my precious time better dedicated to other creative pursuits. 


I want to thank my amazing son Charley for helping immeasurably in developing this world during improvised storytelling sessions. Very much of what has been written about here is consequence of his decision-making, planning, innovation and imagination. Love you always! 


The story starts HERE.
