[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 3693423, member: 1131"] Greetings! Well, I have one group of friends that are pretty combat-focused, booty-hungry players. On occasion, I have designed a huge series of dungeons--caverns, hallways, rooms, floorplans, and so on. Along with these interchangeable dungeons, I have designed and statted up a whole roster of encounters, including treasure, tactics, spells, and so on. Then, roll the dice, and let the fun begin!!!
