[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9183420, member: 29398"] Kind of like a starburst pattern. That's one type of level design, for sure; and [I]starburst[/I] is as good a name for it as any. The sample-of-play dungeon in the 1e DMG uses this format, I think. Another type is [I]dendritic[/I], where there's numerous dead-end branches (and sub-branches) off a single "stem" route. There's another type of design that kinda resembles the freeway map around Indianapolis, where there's a "ring road" with various ways of getting to and through the center of it. The lower level of S4 [I]Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth[/I] uses this format, except if you squint there's actually two ring roads, one inside the other. My only issue with using "warren" as a name is I once had a player named Warren, and complex looping dungeons weren't really his preference. :) [/QUOTE]
