Year of the BIG BOOKS?

Is a price known for the World's Largest Dungeon?

No. Not yet.

Apparently there are 16 or so color maps included with it, so it's probably going to be pricey.

Is that a problem, if the group enjoys the campaign/adventure up to the point at which they stop?

Nope, but that's not my premise. I'm guessing that most groups will probably get tired of it before finishing it. Will they enjoy it? Sure. But I'm also willing to bet that a lot of groups who end up calling it quits before the end will either have an unfavorable outlook on the adventure in hindsight, or will have called it quits so they wouldn't start hating it.

Don't get me wrong, I **love** dungeon crawls, but I can't imagine slogging through 800-1000 pages of the same dungeon from end-to-end. I could certainly see it as a re-occuring place to delve, but unless these megacrawls are designed with passage of time in mind, the DM will have to do a lot of retrofitting on the cleared out levels, when the party returns after a long hiatus.

Just a clarification: TLGs Cult of Yex is not one huge dungeon. It is a full campaign of eight distinct modules. Some modules have one good sized dungeon, some have 2 or 3 smaller ones, including several pocket dimensions, a morphic castle, inside a huge living tree, an ice dungeon, underwater in a flooded dungeon, an undersea dungeon, a graveyard mausoleum, and a few traditional dungeons, etc... Quite a variety of different dungeon settings, and of course plenty of city, wilderness and extraplanar settings thrown in.

I hope it's a trend. I've had a monolithic citadel in my homebrew for years. It's something like a mile square and it looks like I'm finally going to have a group of PCs assault it and will be writing it up.

If big modules are a trend, maybe I'll shop it around as a proposal for a hardbound epic-level module when I get it done.

Is it d20 or C&C?

Is it d20 or C&C?

It is d20, but Troll Lord has also discussed the possiblility of also releasing it as C&C, but nothing solid on that. Perhaps Davis can comment on that?

Somewhere, and I'm not sure where (perhaps at GAMA?), I heard that it would be about $100. For 800 pages with lots of color maps (and believe me, those are some extensive maps) that seems about right.

Not every gamer will want it, so I don't suspect it'll have a titanic print run, but it may see to some folks needs, and be an interesting curiousity for others.

The "Big Book" I am waiting for is "Undying Mars" for Call of Cthulhu. It was supposed to be bigger than "Beyond the Mountains of Madness"...

<sigh>

By Jove

That's one pricy gaming product.

That's one I'll be looking for on Amazon at a discount

Still, it really may have that much material in it.

Sorry so long in reply, I was gaming today (started Yggsburgh).

The Cult of Yex will most definately be a d20 product. It is perfect for the system.
