Other than Gimli they had little interest in exploring the place.Dungeons can be useful places to stash a mguffin or a captured NPC, or a place to conduct an eldritch ritual.A dungeon can be a place to explore and to find secret locations and mapping can be useful. It is not a playstyle I find a lot of fun, and it takes a lot of time to do it, which I do not usually have. I still have no idea how to do this efficiently online. Nominate a player a mapper and have them photo their map each session and upload somewhere?Or perhaps some kind of shared whiteboard app.What do you do if the player makes a mistake? Have the character make a survival roll or take it that the character also made the mistake?How often do the player meet and play. One of the things I find unreasonable about some assumptions relating to things like this, is that player that may meet once a week for 3 or 4 hours are expected to remember as relevant facts over a period of months that their characters have experienced over the course of perhaps a day or less.One of the problems I have found with this style of play is the players fixating on descriptions meant as colour and missing the bits that I  actually wanted them to notice. Have others had that problem and how do you address it?</blockquote>
