[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 7959983, member: 55178"] My pet peeves: Building/dungeon layouts that just don't make any logical sense. Dead end corridor? Three otherwise empty rooms in a row, each with big scary monsters in them that have just been hanging out for a thousand years waiting for an adventurer to wander in? If things live in your dungeon, make their living there make sense. If you're designing a fortress, make the rooms have a purpose and have them be defendable. If the players are exploring an orphanage, there probably won't be a maze full of traps in it. Try not to give away meta information from a bird's eye view. Fighting internally for a first person perspective of the adventure is already work enough, don't broadcast to me that there's a secret room by leaving a giant hole in the map where the secret room is obviously hiding. Don't design a giant dungeon that just barely doesn't fit on a typical battle map. I mean seriously, the things are pretty standardized, don't make me erase the entire thing so that I can fit the last 3 rooms of the dungeon on there. [/QUOTE]
