Message: <blockquote data-quote="rounser" data-source="post: 208369" data-attributes="member: 1106">Indeed.Better yet, why bother with a dungeon at all?  Monsters don't pay rent, and dungeons are damn expensive to build.  Why not just put your treasure in a single room vault?Why?  Because this is D&D, and silly logic puzzles in tombs made by long-dead wizards who like playing games with intruders are in-genre, making them forgivable.Soon, other questions might occur, such as: How do those little villages survive with 1d6 trolls and worse horrors regularly wandering around the landscape?, or, Why do wizards want for money after they master invisibility and silence spells?, and, Why don't kings employ single 20th level fighters to take on armies of orcs instead of 100s of 1st level warriors?  I'm sure you can think of more, the list goes on and on....You say this like it's a bad thing.  Frankly, I'm sick of new-school "cabinet contents" dungeons, with their empty rooms and their barracks and their bedrooms and their boredom and their two copper pieces and a dead rat in the rubble, and their precious verisimilitude.  Forget the "v" word, give me the "f" word!  ("Fun", that is.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If you really want to have your cake and eat it, you can take a leaf from Richards and come up with a justification for throwing logic puzzles around...But on to more important matters; such as how good Mialee's looking in that illustration. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
