Just an old-school dungeon level... I wanted to draw something labyrinthine, with densely packed and weirdly shaped rooms. Inspired by the megadungeon topics on Dragonsfoot. Of course, at ~80 rooms, this is a relatively small offering :)

How long does it take you to play through an 80 room level?
ReplyDeleteDepends on a lot of factors (player goals, dungeon population, etc.). But in general I agree Brett's estimate - 4-6 sessions.
DeleteRecently I ran The Shattered Circle, a 2e adventure, which is ~70-75 rooms (spread out over two [and a half] levels). It took 5 or 6 three-hour sessions.
I ask because I'm in the middle of making my own mega-dungeon and trying to get a feel for how big to make each level.
DeleteIn my game I've been finding 10-12 rooms a session is the most my players clear. That may be because I use a lot of puzzle monsters and "special" rooms.
Old-school megadungeons often have "empty" rooms, so if you add 5-6 rooms to the 10-12 rooms, that's a good "speed".
DeletePlay through? As in a majority of rooms explored? 4-6 sessions?
ReplyDeleteSounds about right!
