[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8249280, member: 86653"] Awesome. Thanks. This one I understand. A more limited scope makes prep easier. Sure. What is it specifically about dungeoncrawls that allows this but other environments don't? How do other environments limit your ability to "really, really go creative"? Again, what's special about dungeoncrawls that lets you do that but not other environments? Couldn't you go just as weird in a forest, in a lake, in a town, on a mountaintop, etc? I too am a fan of the weird in old-school D&D. Barrier Peaks and Blackmoor and Hollow World and invisible moons with samurai rakasta who ride flying saber-tooth tiger mounts...through space...yum. I'm also a fan of Spelljammer. I'm assuming you feel that comes from the more limited scope of the environment you mentioned above. If I'm wrong, please let me know. What I'm trying to understand is how the dungeon is special in this regard. You can have limited-scope locations outside of dungeons, so you should be able to achieve the same or similar results with other limited-scope locations. [/QUOTE]
