[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8246111, member: 42040"] Did dungeons ever really go away? We know they were alive and well throughout the 70s and 80s as the classic form of adventuring. In the 2e era, especially at the tail-end, we got some pretty big ones like the high level Labyrinth of Madness, The Night Below (billed as "the Ultimate Dungeon Adventure"), and the Undermountain boxed sets. 3e was highly touted as "return to the dungeons," with a Greyhawk setting default, and emphasis on miniatures, traps, and tactical play. 4e also kept the dungeons alive with modules like Keep on the Shadowfell. I'd say that the dungeon was the default assumption of that edition. 5e has had numerous adventures featuring dungeons, whether greatest hits compilations like "Tales of the Yawning Portal" or megadungeons like "Dungeon of the Mad Mage." So let me ask, when did we ever stop playing dungeons? Was there even a five year period without a lot of dungeon content? [/QUOTE]
