Message: <blockquote data-quote="tk32" data-source="post: 7027780" data-attributes="member: 6871723">Interesting concept.  I'm using 3d Printed dungeon models that I'm printing and assembling myself.  They are stackable for multilevel dungeons. I've finally got enough pieces printed and assembled to build a 12 room dungeon with 1-2 rooms on an upper floor.  I'm hoping to print enough for a 30-40 room multilevel with bridge crossings, traps, and intricate design with pieces that are secret doors, leading to hidden chambers, alcoves, new dungeons, etc.I don't think of dungeons as casltes or fortresses. I am working towards a 5th edition level 16-20 dungeon. The Doomvaults of Thay.  All the Thayan secrets hidden and guarded for all time deep within a dungeon in the middle of the land of the dead.  Magic experimentation, portals to hell planes, deals with master devils, demons, and the like, with a final boss a legendary boss that is looking to perform a coup of Thay and overthrow the current ruler..  One of the most powerful liches to ever exist.  That has made deals with primal forces of evil to gain his power.  He'll have a dragon lich as a companion, and have had time to enchant the entire dungeon and with powerful forces of magic, creating a lair that bends at the will of the lich.  Finally, if the PCs succeed in penetrated deep into the heart of the lair and somehow defeat the lich, there will be a full second round of battle....  Where the lich reactivates as a demi lich....Round 1 will be the draconic lich.Round 2 will be the lich master himself.Round 3 will be the lich reforming into a demi lich... As DM, it will be my job to ensure these battles, and the dungeon itself whittle at the PCs resources and they are forced to make sacrafices, decisions, alliances, with denizens of evil, or have no place to rest and die from exhaustion and/or just succomb to the brutality of the evil that exists within these doomvaults.In all I anticipate around 600 piece 3d printed dungeon tiles with traps, secret doors, bridges, etc.  I do what you're doing, draw it out, label the rooms, then start populating the rooms with creatures.  The dungeon is not so much a fortress as it is, in my case, a massive secret hideout to build up the powerful forces necessary to overthrow a political leader.  The dungeon is not designed to be a defensive structure so much as a structure to suit the needs of a mad scientist or organization.I'd equate it to the underground hideouts that military dictators have used in WWII in Germany, or the underground hideouts of Iraq, etc.  These are places that are meant to be able to hide a small population, not to be a castle that requires a military army to storm.</blockquote>
