World's Largest Dungeon?

[Arnwyn]

This sounds wicked, and I will definitely be buying - if and only if the maps are well done. The quality of the maps are absolutely critical for a product like this.

And Dragonblade - I agree with everything you said in your first post. Word.

I want this book!

If nothing else, I could use it to reach high shelves. and clean on top of the fridge.

If the maps are good, and everything Dragonblade said... then it will be mine. Oh yes... I just hope everything has a REASON to be there.. It's also one of those products that AEG will actually have to do what everyone else does and make a free PREVIEW of SOMEthing before we throw money into it...

forgive my math geeking, but i just realized that either there's a whole bunch of lower than average-party-level encounters, or the PCs aren't expected to encounter even a fraction of the dungeon.

at the standard 13.33 encounters per level paradigm, the PCs would be around 120th level after 1600 encounters!

Does that mean there are 13 level 119 encounters?

To continue... at 4 encounters per session, 1 session per week, that's over seven and a half years of gaming goodness. And if the book costs US$120 (based on a rough extrapolation of page count), that works out to about 3 cents per session.

Not a bad price, really... lol

If they can top Rappan Athuk, I'll be very impressed.

This sounds cool. My only concern is the maps. It probably won't be a boxed set (nobody does those anymore, not cost effective), so how will you get the maps out without mangling the book?

Use that sticky stuff that some of the game books have been using for maps. Comes right out of the book with no damage to the map or book.

Yes. Among other things, Kord's poker group plays in a small room down on level 8 to avoid interruptions, and they're none too happy when adventurers come barging in.

...Kord's poker group...

that would be Kord, Moradin, Odin, Kurtulmak, and Wee Jas. they sometimes let Apollo play, when they feel like fleecing someone. however, under no circumstances is Olidammara allowed to touch the cards.

bids start at 50 petitioners and go up from there.
