It's not the system.Dungeons are more prep than, say, a plot-based adventure that takes place in a city which takes all of a couple of sentences (if that) to throw together. This is why I think dungeon adventures are not as common, at least in my experience. But a good dungeon delve is the easiest way to hit the archetypal story beats and people love archetypal stories, often for reasons they can't understand or properly articulate. Leading them, perhaps, to wonder whether the game was the thing that did it as Mearls seems to do.I think he'll hit upon the truth once he watches that Joseph Cambell lecture.</blockquote>
