>>51836514
The first time I ever built a dungeon was before I was actually playing any sort of tabletop. I already had a good grounding in fantasy literature and roguelike games, and one of my friends was strapped for time and so asked me to design a mid-sized dungeon to be inhabited by a rather weak enchanter that had managed to snag a goblin clan and bandit tribe to his banner.
So I built a dungeon that I would have made with those tools. It had murder holes, scouts and sentries, storerooms for provisions in case of a siege, false hallways just to distract and trap intruders, alarm systems to alert the entire dungeon if something was amiss. All the things you'd build into your keep if you were worried about murder hobos or the kings men coming to flush you out.
I didn't see it run, but it apparently decimated the party of 6th level characters despite being full of mostly level 1-2 enemies right out of the MM with my notes on how they would tactically approach a situation.
Kinda wish I had asked for it back when he was done, had everything detailed out on graph paper with a half dozen pages of notes.

I have a question for everyone, would you guys be interested in a kickstarter / paying (2 - 4 dollars) for a modular dungeon set like this? Of course including objects that you can use yourself and some pre-made rooms, this is just a test version I have right now.

I already know theres room for me(atleast for commissions), as ive already sold many commissions, and have done quite a bit of commercial work.

Tell me what you think, my old unfinished portfolio is on deviantart and cartographers guild under the name evile_eagle. On a phone atm so I cant link.

>>51860203
Your shit is dank; and I recognize some of it actually, probably from carto's guild. One thing you could try is doing full adventure modules, or at least the battlemaps/dungeons for them. Not super familiar, but I think that'd be worth looking into at least.

>>51860203
Another idea is to create random tables of a sort. A forest theme with various battlemaps, maybe some bandit camps, or whatever else. Having the convenience of a table with encounters already made would be super convenient, rather than rolling and having to plan encounters and battlemaps ahead of time.

Aztec pyramids were stepped pyramids, not smooth sided like the one pictured (more common to an Egyptian pyramid).
The interior layout is also very similar to Khufu's pyramid. I'd guess that artist built that diagram based on the pyramid at Giza, and then slapped the Aztec tomb title on it because they didn't know any better and thought it was cool.

Actual Aztec pyramids had much more intricate interiors (pic related) and would make much cooler dungeons than their Egyptian counterparts.

Is there a way to introduce traps to a dungeon without making every door a half-an-hour roadblock in the action? Everytime I place a single trap or plant something behind a door, all my fucking players ratchet their caution up to 11 and are super afraid to try anything.

Because sewers are uninspiring in the first place. The shortest route with the most linear design tend to be the most efficient and cost effective. All sewers are literally tubes of vitrified clay pipe, brick vaulted tunnels or plastic lined concrete tubes who's sole purpose is to make sure shit flows away from buildings. Technically they are self cleaning because they are gravity fed but that is like saying stainless steel wont rust.

What does make sewers interesting is the various interesting shit that you find. In Portsmouth a sewer system was discovered to been made out of wood. Since the city continued to use that particular set of lines since the 1700s, the wood had long since rotted away and the clay area it was built in had hardened to a brick like substance. Still works like a charm.

In San Francisco a set of pipes lead directly from the original old city areas to the Richmond district. The pipe is so long that it runs a diagonal path and less than 5 manholes are known. It runs under dozens of blocks and checking it is almost impossible without sending a guy with a full O2 tank and a safety line.

In Oakland the police have been known to conduct drug busts using sewers. One drug bust involved a house and an entire family flushing down drugs. Because the police knew they had drugs they needed hard evidence that they had it and catch them in the act of trying to destroy evidence. When SWAT smashed the door open, a camera with a net began recording a lot of bags of white powered being flushed.

And lastly my favorite a murder victim inside a sewer. A severed head was found by accident deep inside a big line. When the police recovered it and chunks of the body, they found out that they cant figure out where it came from because the line is where all the sewer lines flow to.
