[QUOTE="HACKBattleMage, post: 4707508, member: 82863"] New to the forums, first post (but I dig this whole site) but I have hit a snag in my game. Dungeon Concepts! Some GMs are too wuss of heart to make a GOOD dungeon. Anybody can throw some Kobolds in a room, toss an Otyugh Boss at the end and call it a day. I believe dungeons can be just as in depth as a small story arc of a campaign, they just need a lot more work. Point being... There are few ideas left in my arsenal for a good dungeon, and my game is due for one. I would love to hear my fellow GMs best dungeon ideas / themes. And if you can think of one to fit my scenario, that would rock. These guys are about 15th level. THE SCENARIO: Cliche but always good, a Great Wyrm has made a secluded island his home. He has not left for 500 years for two reasons: he is agoraphobic (afraid of open spaces) and 501 years ago he stole a magic artifact from the head of the Dragon Council and is now on the lamb. This island is tropical, and he has built a large dungeon underneath for his hoard, but the artifact he ate (for safe keeping). It is hard to write for such an overdone scenario, so I turn to you. Any ideas? This is a HIGH level group, so the fantastic is possible. [/QUOTE]
