minus-square val ( @val@infosec.pub ) linkfedilink6•10 months agoThe dungeon layouts from malls and subways is just stupid. Just placing rooms is not a meaningful portion of the work in designing a dungeon. If you want to steal one, there are so, so many already designed for TTRPGs already and available freely.
minus-square Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) OPlinkfedilink6•10 months agoPersonally I find the room layout the hardest part so stealing a layout helps me jump off Laying out traps, secrets, monsters, etc is the easy part Now area maps are a whole other ball game though, my players have been exploring Idaho now for 2 years and no one has caught on yet.
