[QUOTE="JamesDJarvis, post: 2130588, member: 2515"] some of the dungeons in my current campaign: “The Black pit of the Dark Masters” home of a hideously powerful cabal of necromancers is 50 levels deep and all told has about 70 levels when sub levels are considered. A few levels only have a dozen or so rooms but there are also several levels with 50 or more rooms, one has more then 200 rooms, features and chambers. Other big dungeons in my campaign are "The House of the River Witch" about 30 levels with lots of magical stuff and hybrid monsters. It is a tower that “travels” along major rivers in my campaign setting. "The Metal Fortress of Suffering" at least 20 levels of constant misdirection and deathtraps a real meatgrinder of a dungeon with a horrible secret at the end. Divination magic is a bad idea in this one and it messes up folks part of the time. The metal floors and walls of this dungon also absorb any metal that forcefully strikes them. "The Elementalist Monastery" is multiple structures in a vast ruined temple complex with 80 or so "levels" of above ground ruins and underfoot catacombs populated with ancient religious relics, guardian spirits/elementals, creatures and tribes that make use of the ruins and currently the domain of a dwarven warlord that has almost organized the ruins and raised an army of darkness. "The Fallen Towers" is an immense multi-mega dungeon in a vast maze of caverns, chasms and water courses that flows through a region dotted with the remains of an ancient civilization and the strongholds and hideouts of modern rebels and miscreants, also a bunch of dragons. I've been working on bits and pieces of it for 2 years at least and am still just beginning to work on it really. [/QUOTE]
