[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 5680765, member: 11760"] Google "How to Host a Dungeon" and look at the free PDF. It's a solo game for telling yourself the history of a dungeon and, even with the free version, it's hard not to create a dungeon with real depth and history and multiple themes you can pull from. But, more basically, remember that your dungeon has a past. It was not created as a container for XP and treasure. Someone built it, for a reason. They may be gone now, and if so, traces of them remain, even if someone else has come in -- and if they've come in, they've made it their own in some fashion as well. An old enough dungeon will have gone through this multiple times, and each has the potential to bring a whole lot more to the table. Write the history of your dungeon before drawing it and then go back and revise the history as you build the dungeon. Pull elements from the history in as room elements or just as window dressing or as the source of that XP and treasure. [/QUOTE]
