Megadungeon Dreams

Megadungeon like dis.

During the pandemic I've become obsessed with running a "traditional" vanilla d&d campaign. And one facet of that I've really wanted to try was creating a Megadungeon. I've journeyed down the blog rabbit-hole about megadungeons' (especially this page) and have started jotting down some of the things I would want to see in a google doc. Thought I should share some of what I have and maybe I'll even chronicle my megadungeon journey on my blog here, from inception to play. 

Megadungeon Slush Idea Pile [VERY ROUGH]

• "reverse skyscrapper shaped" The dungeon is modern-esque but still fantasy, maybe shaped like hive from the Resident Evil movie. Has rusted pipes and furnaces, very rusted ala Silent Hill's otherworld. Very Mythic Underworld and weird. 
• DRAGONS on random encounter roll “2”. [Stolen from Papers & Pencils blog]
• LOTS ‘o’ Undead.
• Dungeon Worshipers/Cultists
• Dungeon Gnomes: Repair’s the dungeon, made of clay & fueled by miasma
• Dungeon Fruit: Bestows dungeon blessing (see in dark, open stuck doors, etc) must make a save vs spells or become charmed by the dungeon. Cultivated by the Crass Clown.
• Dungeon Miasma
• Dungeon’s Curse: Those who die in the dungeon become an undead in 2d6 turns. A bless spell permanently prevents the corpse from rising.
• Rival Adventuring Parties [Alignment Matters]
• The Crass Clown serves as the dungeon’s custodian. The Crass Clown goes about the dungeon removing adventurer’s corpses, resets traps and places treasure. 6 hands, two of which (“hand-feet”) maneuvers the creaky unicycle that is his lower half. Wears the Crown of Gambles (Crown with d6 shaped gems), wields a Bubblegum Laser Gun (shoots bubble made of gum).
• Floor Demons [Bosses] that match level/section theme.
• Mad M-U’s.
• Hall Of Doors, Section with a ton of doors.
• Insect Level/section
• Comically large pile of shit with 2000 copper coins painted gold within
• Golems
• Mortician’s Hide-away. Resurrection possibility, worship God of Death.
• Gallery of Faces [That creepy face room from FF9] Can ask 1 question about the dungeon and the faces will answer truthfully. Requires tribute (a face?).
• Great Fairy Rooms [Huge weird naked woman ala Legend of Zelda].
• Madfolk/Vagrants [Upper floors only]
  
  

I'll probably come back and upgrade this went I have more ideas.
