    Looks good! I like a lot of what you are doing here. I'd be tempted to remove limits on what spells you can know and just have the mana so casters can learn spells they find as treasure. Do you have any plans to add in higher levels? I would be concerned about slowing down leveling so much so that 5 be the maximum. My players typically expect a little more rewarding system than that but I like it as a GM.

How To Make A Ten Room/"30 Minute" Dungeon In 2022

Image
What Is This? Way back in 2018 when I started my blog, the main thing I made were "30 minute dungeons". I made several posts on the subject and a couple that had tutorials on how to make them yourselves. The goal was to produce a relatively usable adventure, sans map/statistics, in only 30 minutes. I've moved past the "30 minute" aspect a bit, and what I usually do now is simply make a dungeon in about 10 minutes on a single sheet of notebook paper and then elaborate it later into something proper at my leisure. That is how I made my last two posts. What I aim to do in this post is to consolidate all of the information from my previous dungeon design posts into one big post here, for the convenience of everyone. For the convenience of everyone I will be referring to this concept as the Ten Room Dungeon for the rest of this article. I've recently tried out the OD&D style of art, that is to say heavily using a reference and adding slight changes. This gobl...

The Holy Empire of Norenlund and the Carnomagocracy of Arcturon

I recently developed a set of 10 worldbuilding questions for settled regions in your campaign world, and have been working on answering them for various locations in my home campaign setting (which I have recently named Visterra). Below are the questions, and then below that are the answers for two nations. What is the government like here? What are the people like here? What religious beliefs do people follow here? What are some notable cities/settlements? What are some noteworthy people who live here? What goods are available to purchase here? What unusual laws are there which PCs should be aware of? What kind of adventures can be had here? What is the environment like? What is a brief history of this place? The Holy Empire of Norenlund It is a theocratic monarchy. The church and the state are one and the same, and it is known as the Imperial Orthodoxy. There is an emperor who is ostensibly in control, and some whispered rumors have it that he is the ...

30 Minute Dungeon Guide: Room Prompts

Image
Hey so you know how I made the 30 Minute Dungeon thing that blew up for a while? Well I've been working a little on refining it. For those of you who may be new to the blog, the 30 Minute Dungeon method is something I came up with where you set a timer for 30 minutes and make a 10 room dungeon, using the following checklist for what must be included: 3 Empty Rooms 3 Combat Encounters 2 Traps 1 NPC 1 Special/Weird Thing It took off and I compiled a collection of the dungeons I made, selling them in a pdf which got a justifiably mixed review by Skerples of Coins and Scrolls fame. A big problem I had with the formula is I kept being repetitive with how I designed the dungeons and how I would sometimes waste time getting stuck not knowing what to do for rooms. So I decided to come up with some prompts that help me come up with ideas for rooms without being too specific, ultimately coming up with 6 prompts for each room type, therefore allowing me to roll a d6 to randomly de...
