[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7927812, member: 22779"] Oh, and the Dirty Dungeon idea that I was looking for can be found here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/john-wick-the-dirty-dungeon.310157/[/URL] Fantastic fun. ----- Exploratory play is hardly the only style of gaming in the world. And, since any given player will only know 1/4 of the dungeon, at best, they still get their exploration. Why on earth would you need to schedule time for prep? Good grief, you've never heard of email? A wiki? I'm not quite sure what you're envisioning, so, follow the link below and you'll see it better. As far as what they set up, of course they set up everything in their section. Why wouldn't they? It's not like the game doesn't have guidelines for treasure placement. You'd almost think that we're performing magic. Making a dungeon crawl isn't exactly rocket science. Yes, they decide what monsters are there, what treasure is there, where and what traps are there. Of course. But, yeah, I can see how some folks might see this as far too threatening to their authority. We cannot possible share the workload of DMing because, if we do so, then we have to share some of the authority as well. Can't possibly have that. :erm: [/QUOTE]
