What is a dungeon?

[Nightfall]

No...if that's the case then the Underdark is just a dungeon. Caves and tunnels do not a dungeon make.

Meh. Dungeon=Adventure. Doesn't matter if it's above ground, under ground, whatever. It's a series of encounters to challenge the players.

Let me explain my feeling what a Dungeon is:

First a Dungeon is a big black dark something.
And if you search long enough in your backpack
to find something to make a light - or you are one
of the luck guys who is able to cast a light spell -
you can see .....

.... a lot of horrable things that make you wanna
scream and run away.

That the point where the fun begins (for your GM ;-)

A Dungeon is anything that isn't a Dragon.

It's where the adventure happens. Unless it's a urban or wilderness adventure.
