[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7355660, member: 23751"] That section of the PHB clearly says, "The most common form of ADVANCED DUNGEONS 8 DRAGONS play is the underground adventure,". That sentence clearly shows that there are adventures outside of the dungeon such as a desert. Then the section goes on to say on page 109, "So much for the underworld adventure. [B]Most of what was said regarding successful expeditions[/B] there also [B]applies to outdoor[/B] and city adventures as well. Preparation and mutual aid are keys to these sorts of adventures also." The DMG also has significant portions of it devoted to outdoor adventuring, including encounter tables. It's almost as if the outdoor adventure was an important part of the game. So no, if you show up in the sort of D&D that Gygax describes in the "Successful Adventuring" section, it won't of course be a fictional situation that is going to be in a dungeon. Most likely it will, but it can also be the desert. Moldvay Basic is similar. From the "Definition of Standard Terms" section. "It is the DM's job to prepare the setting for each adventure before the game begins. This setting is called a dungeon since [B]most adventures[/B] take place in underground caverns or stone rooms beneath old ruins or castles.". Most adventures, not all adventures, so the desert could be in accordance with Moldvay Basic as well, though there is far less support for it throughout the book than 1e has. [/QUOTE]
