[QUOTE="mhd, post: 8501973, member: 16805"] I've always been reluctant to play with megadungeons, as I like my occasional change of scenery and city adventures. So I guess that my "MD" would have a lot of features of those. Cultural centers, probably merging several different locations into a big whole, or at least several strata (!= levels) of a common theme that allow for some variation. I'd ber tempted to use something like Knave for this, where by loot alone the PCs are set in motion. But if the premise is an official edition, I would probably opt for one of the following: [LIST] [*]OD&D plus so many house rules that this entry might count as cheating. Spell points, no clerics etc. [*]Dragon Fist, where the stunt die would serve neatly for creative obstacle avoidance. [*]3.0 – not 3.5, and only the core book. I like the original buff spells for exploration, the classes aren't that much bloated, but you still have some toys to play with. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
