[QUOTE="Andrew Ridenour, post: 6189332, member: 6705723"] So, I was looking around, and I found in the alexanderian an article called something along the lines of "Prep Tips for Starting DMs". It mentioned something called a 5 room dungeon, which appears, from what I can tell, to be a small adventure consisting of five parts, not an actual dungeon, but it can be a dungeon, if you so wish it... Anyways, I was looking at it, and I think, for simplicity's sake, and my own, I'm going to handle the first couple adventures using that. I mean, my adventure is already feeling a bit like that as is. The Guardian/The Role-play(Aka Use Skills here)/ and the Big Bad and the Reward/Revalation "Rooms" are already decided upon. All I need is a trick and then I can focus solely on the encounters themselves, and since that's the part I'm having trouble with, why not, you know, focus mostly on that. Thus, a quick, starting adventure of a group of level one characters. I'll still be working on my grander dungeon. I actually have the map for the first floor drawn, and the encounters designed, mostly goblins and rats, as well as a "young" gelatinous cube, but they aren't entirely placed yet. I'll be finishing that up tomorrow, and hopefully start on the second floor. Sadly, it doesn't appear that I'll be able to upload my map. The printer that I use doesn't want to use its scan function with this old junk of a computer, but I'll see what I can do. [/QUOTE]
