Well it says i have to have 10 posts before i can post pictures, so i guess ill just start with some chitchat.
so i'm working on a homebrew campaign setting and in it there is going to be a religion that revolves around mazes.
so i'm gonna need some, at least 1, 'wonder of the world' level epic maze in there somewhere.
so here's a couple of ideas i had:
combine geomorphic dungeons (dungeon maps that can be connected in such a way as to build 3d shapes out of them.)
with the old rubix cube, or one of it's many variants cheaply bought from china off ebay.
parts of the dungeon could be stuck to the squares or triangles of the rubix toy and at some point have the players
manipulate it to change the dungeon to fit their needs.
i been browsing ebay a bit and those rubix things come in all kinds of interesting shapes, including:
2x2 cube (would work well for more complex interior), 2x2mm, 3x3 4 sided pyramids, octahedrons and dodecahedrons.
another idea i had was to build a dungeon as a tesseract aka hypercube.
then i had the idea of extending it to the 5th dimension by connecting 8 tesseracts together (via magic of course)
does anyone remember an old 2e module called 'The Dancing Hut Of Baba Yaga'?
i think it has survived through the editions in the form of a magic item, and also an updated adventure was published in dungeon magazine at some point. it was an infamous dungeon with rooms that are all pocket dimensions that would normally overlap eachother, so it could never be accurately mapped by players.
so consider this: baba yaga's hut is a construct like the 8 connected tesseracts.
ok, now imagine this thing falls into the hands of a gnome artificer! :P lol
what are your most diabolical dungeon ideas?
