The Quick and Easy Guide To Dungeoneering

Ever wanted to create your own mini-story but don’t have a clue? It’s easy.

  1. Get a map of the area that you want to adventure in, Google Maps is excellent to use.

  2. Decide on what genre and era you want your story to be.
    Example : you want to use your hometown as the setting for a dystopian invasion of aliens. Re-tool the buildings, people and events in your selected area to match the dystopian alien invasion. Be creative, turn the pigs and chickens into alien based versions. Or turn all of the buildings into different sizes and colors of mushrooms, turn the streets into cobblestone or dirt cart paths.

  3. Decide on a villain to model your villains after. Take parts of who you are personally and write those personalities into the main characters. Lots of screaming and torch carrying peasants are a must. Make some main characters loveable while others are lovable but just as able to want to be kicked into the oil tank by the reader.

  4. Create action and surprise points to keep your readers interested.

I’m confused about whether Dryson thinks pigs and chickens are visible on Google Maps. My version doesn’t have any.

Its better to design the dungeon using hand drawn techniques and then have AI build the scene.

Drawing your own dungeon makes the time spent more personable because your imagination adds in other elements that AI isnt able to.

I would design the scenario the old way, graph paper, stencils, erasers and about eight hours on a Saturday.

To develop your characters personalities is thought to be difficult, but it is rather easy.

Simply look up any adjective, I suggest starting out with five per character until can weave the characters personalities together.

Here a few adjectives.

Humble, disparaging, argumentative, solemn, gravely, buxom, brawny, suspicious, shy, complacent, aggressive, tense. Read the definition of each and then insert your characters into environments that would trigger a reaction you have chosen.
