Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #13 The City of the Dead
Being dead twice in as many hours can have an affect on a person. As I said before, nephew, the first experience had a profound impact on me, one which I wish to process further before commenting on. My second experience, which I had as I was pulled down under the mountain, bouncing along the […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #12 The Warren
As a man of science, I find myself, more often than not, on the side of rational behavior and not following the footsteps of men more prone to foolhardy actions. In short, nephew, left to my own devices I would choose cowardice over heroism every time. However, despite my enlarged sense of self preservation, even […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #11 Agaricus, Lair of the Ants
Another week, nephew, another lesson in the life of an adventurer. If there is one bit of advice I hope for you to take away from these letters of mine, let it be this – when an adventurer says that a road is “well-traveled and secure”, what he actually means is that the road is […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #10 Molotok, the Demon Forge
Sometimes, nephew, the events that move us around this world seem utterly, and dangerously beyond our control. It was this very feeling that weighed on me a week after our adventure in Petora as I sat in yet another inn staring at the necklace wrapped over my knuckles. The necklace had lost its glow, but […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #9 Sturdyrock
When a tavern patron begins a conversation with, “do you want to see something really wild?” one need not think too hard to realize where that conversation might lead and excusing one’s self from the table is typically the best course of action. And yet, that’s exactly what I did not do when I found […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #8 Bridgebelly
After my last adventure, I sought a few days’ refuge to collect my thoughts, with the notion of further exploring the underground of our world being the furthest concern weighing on my mind. We’d heard talk of an excellent weaponsmith working out of the town on the other side of the pass and I decided […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #7 The Haunted Cistern
I suppose, in hindsight, I was bound to stumble into an area where I was ill-equipped to tread. I must admit, however, that the possibility seemed always remote, and I was little prepared for it when it happened thanks to my own lack of foresight. I’m surprised to find myself saying as much, but were […]
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #6 The Nu Chi Compound
Well, Nephew. Perhaps after reading my latest adventure, you’ll begin to believe me that the dungeons are more than simply constructs doodled onto the paper of our world by all-seeing gods who play games with dice and men’s lives. I’ve been to a dungeon that was created by the hands of men and, this time, […]
V’Tor’s Altar
Matt Jackson posted a little contest on G+ to flesh out one of his maps into an adventure. Despite my best efforts, I got inspired.
Uncle Dungeoning Ma’att – #5 Shadowhome
Nephew, I received your last letter and must admit that your defense of Dungeon Land dogma is most distubring to me, as I believed you, among all my relatives, to be the most open minded and willing to consider the possibilities. Common wisdom states that dungeons spring forth from the land wholly formed and ready […]
