se you ve got an episodic megadungeon campaign each session the group picks a location in the megadungeon to explore sometimes these locations are already deep within the dungeon now a well designed megadungeon has multiple entrances some of which provide ready access to deeper parts but what if those entrances haven t been found yet reality impedes our gaming quite enough how much time do we spend just getting to the good parts i m pondering a game mechanic whether a random roll skill check or something more or less involved that can shorten that process i haven t made one yet but i m putting this out here for feedback some groups may spend precious game time working through the map newly restocked as a megadungeon should attempting to avoid encounters other games or groups may

catastrophe effect so they got a vision that the alabaster oracle an npc in dyson s module could tell them of a pilgrimage she sent them to the frog god i gave the player that post a comment read more
