After the work I did on the node-based megadungeon, I think I’d like to take it for a test drive. I’ve wanted to try Blood & Treasure since I got my hands on it, so I think for the first pass at least that’s what we’ll do. I aim to …
It took me a couple days past the end of my weekend to finish this iteration through the megadungeon. This thing? It’s big. In total there are 107 nodes in this dungeon. Many would be mapped as single rooms, most could easily be 3-5 rooms. Many could be even more — …
