[QUOTE="Satyrn, post: 7297947, member: 6801204"] Can y'all help me with some information and inspiration, please? Info: Does anyone know where I can find 5e statblocks for Borderlands monsters? Inspiration: I'm looking ideas on how to fit Borderlands game maps in a megadungeon. TS;WE? (Too short, want explanation?) I'm building a megadungeon based on a couple ideas. One of my players, when he tried DMing, began running a campaign based on an anime about a sadsack adventurer who tried to make his fame - and win the love of some great adventurer - in a megadungeon under the city. Success is measured by reaching lower levels of the dungeon, by beating boss monsters, etc. And I'm intending to make the dungeon a little silly by creating areas of the dungeon drawn from the Borderlands videogames. Like, the Fridge is an absolutely perfect map to use. Its direct line from entrance to exit means that the area can be mostly bypassed by delvers heading deeper into the dungeon. And the various side paths provide the fodder for exploration and destinations for quests to be placed. I've doubled down on the cold, though. That direct path from entrance to exit is filled with a perpetual, supernatural storm fueled by the very cold part of Elemental Chaos, and so is dangerous all by itself. (Ooh! That storm is mostly an ice storm; every once in a while, maybe it's a firestorm. Evil!) I intend to populate the Borderlands levels with borderlands monsters. There will be crystalisks and rakks in my Fridge. And psychos and bandits, too, though I'm thinking they will just be underdark goblinoids, orcs and the like. Anyway. I'm looking for thoughts on which Borderlands maps would make good dungeon levels, and how they could be tweaked a little, like adding the elemental storm to the Fridge. The Wildlife Preservation Center, Caustic Caverns, and Krom's Canyon are the maps that leap to mind. (Yes, I'm happy to draw from all 3 games). Ideas? Please. TL;DR? I warned you! And thank you. Whew. My longest post ever. [/QUOTE]
