I am trying to create a dungeon and my mind just rejects the idea like a crudely transplanted kidney.
I was looking back over the reviews I've written of adventures that feature dungeons and I'm aware that I rarely engage with them at all. I'll run them but I have no real sense of the difference between a good one and a bad one.
As a result, if I try to create one of my own I just look at it and go 'but this is bobbins'
@Taskerland I've written dungeons, but generally never with a BBEG waiting at the end of them. They're almost always a place to go to pick up something to use somewhere else.
Or sometimes they're outdoor areas with constrained exits. I wrote a scenario with a giant (okay, a titan, because he's bigger than a D&D giant and people complain about this shit) tied down on a mountain like Gulliver so he can be bled by evil folks for magic. You can wander from his knee to his arm to his head. Dungeon?

@Taskerland Yeah, well, don't write *those* dungeons. Make them big and incredible spaces to fight over.

@Taskerland Oddly, if I try to create a non-dungeon thing, I feel the same way.

@moodywarlock I made a couple a while back and it was fine but I don't really enjoy running the procedural stuff.

@Taskerland At some level, I'm always trying to recreate the excitement I felt as a young player when entering my first abandoned citadel. Impossible, yes.

@moodywarlock I have made efforts to offer that experience to my players but in truth, the memories I have that really stuck were moments like people angrily shouting "One grenade is not enough to set fire to an entire porn cinema and no way would the cops get here that fast!"

@Taskerland The diversity of our experiences does lend richness! I was exclusively about fantasy, since that was mostly THE dominant trope in the mid 80s.

@moodywarlock I definitely spent a lot more time running 90s urban fantasy stuff.
