Dungeoncraft Compilation

[TarionzCousin]

Monte Cook wrote almost 30 Dungeoncraft articles for Dungeon magazine. The last one was in December of 2006.

Note: Inexpensive equals $20 USD or less.

Edit: I would buy the compilation, and I own several.

Whoa! I wasn't even the first respondent to my own poll. Zoom!

Edited Again: I didn't realize my sentence was too long. One response should read " No. Wolfgang Baur's Dungeoncraft articles (since January, 2007) are more my preferred style."

 

[Patlin]

I'm a dungeon subscriber, and I haven't even sat down and read a significant fraction of them. I know I have them all, I just don't find them all that interesting.

 

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

As terrific as they are, they would be more useful compiled into one volume.

The 3.0 DMG stands up as an outstanding guide to how to D&D. Dungeoncraft was (and still is) a wonderful series, but Monte's were the best and all worked together to encourage constructive DM thinking.

 

[Tauric]

I read several of them, and thought they were quite good, though some not that helpful to my personal situation.

I like Wolfgang's style more, but I can't judge his usefulness yet (I've only read two).

Oh, I voted yes.

 

[Shadowslayer]

I'm a huge advocate of the initial series by Ray Winnenger, but his are pretty much centered on campaign startup. I've only read a couple of Monte's (I don't subscribe to Dragon) but what I've read has been very even-handed and helpful. I'd definitely give it a look.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I like Ray's the best, of what I've seen.

 

[Wombat]

Possibly.

Would depend on final price, hardbound vs. softbound, and a few other intangibles of the moment.

 

[00Machado]

I'd buy it for the convenience of having it all in one place.

I would want a complete run, from Ray's first, through the current ones by Wolfgang, with an index, and maybe re-arranged into the most logical flow.

 

[JustKim]

For anyone interested in the idea, I would recommend Robin's Laws of Good Gamemastering.

 

[Olaf the Stout]

Personally I found Ray Winnegar's (sp?) Dungeoncraft articles on worldbuilding to be the best that I have seen in either Dragon or Dungeon magazine. Despite having all of the articles in the original magazines (and in a Word doc, having copied them off of the WotC website) I would still buy a compilation if one was put out. If someone could get Ray to write some more articles on this subject it would be even better.
