You get about 30 sheets for $15. You can then draw your dungeon as you go (in true dungeon crawl style) and as a bonus, if the party back tracks or returns to a fork or branch, you just go back to the earlier sheet. A few other quick notes:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Crawls work better with some prepared stuff. Create some encounters, traps, and memorial bits to insert as needed</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Don't be afraid to take a break to collect your thoughts on what comes next</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A crawl is a perfect time to solicit ideas from the players. I wouldn't go so far as to ask them what is behind the door but you can usually get them to toss out ideas on their own ("I hope that isn't a wraith behind that door") and take from them what you want.</li> </ul></blockquote>
