Heartwise, I'm right there with him. I have great memories of games of "dungeon exploration" as the essence of the game I grew up playing. Unfortunately, it seems the only folks I can find who would consider that entertaining are people I only know virtually. And the "giants adventures" by Gygax were some of the adventures I remember enjoying most as a player --- and they seem to have a more 'linear' arrangement than most mega-dungeons (i.e.: you have to fight your way through a lot of guards to get to the end of the adventure (where you go on to the next giant stronghold). The flesh-and-blood players I know are pretty bored by the idea of the 'dungeon as the campaign.' <br />Part of it may be how we play now. We are lucky if we can manage to get together for 4 to 5 hours every 2 weeks to play. Back when we were kids, we could play several times a week.Stefan Poaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192911890556534923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-18539883171038193792010-10-15T06:40:19.492-04:002010-10-15T06:40:19.492-04:00Thanks for posting that!
