Basically, it is a room typically in a dungeon that is either in the player's direct path or as a separate room that they could explore into. They walk in, the doorway seals completely, so not even a high die roll can break through, and small vents around the room start pumping in water. The only way out is an opening at the top, but to get there, the players must ditch their armor, leaving them defenseless.

It looks like a harmless room, until they hear the dreadful grinding of the doors behind them...

Although slightly harsh, I've geared it towards the higher level players, for added inconvenience! Throw a higher level enemy at them after and see the anarchy ensue!
NOTE: DungeonCrawl has now opened up most gallery folders for "auto approval." This simplifies the submission process for members. The group admin will simply remove any art that does not fit the group submission guidelines (without commenting). The submission rules for what will stay in the galleries have not changed.  New members should read the submission rules as they are fairly narrow and the group has a very focused theme.

It is my hope that this will really help those members who understand the theme of DungeonCrawl get their art into the galleries faster.  Honestly, it will help me too.  I won't be going through the process of declining art and commenting again and again when artists fail to carefully read the submission guidelines.  They are very clear, if someone detailed.  I want to try this and see how it goes.  I know I appreciated it when submitting my art to groups when things are auto approved.  It makes it so much nicer.  I want members of DungeonCrawl, my fellow adventurers, to have the same kind of experience here.

Your dungeon overlord,

Mistgod the Mighty  

ok maybe this is of little relationship to dungeon crawl but , things had been quiet in the main group [link] that is what caused me to start making a D&D set for it since i joined into the RPG maker , putting so much time on it and i am also familiar to dungeons and dragons i started this

:iconpokemonfrontierrpg:

this is a home brew pokemon setting variant to dungeons and dragons that i started from a RPG maker game with the original setting similar to the pathfinders : book of the damned, in a pokemon world  [link]

pathfinders [link]




the world is split into 7 regions each with its own pokedex and when all the keys are gathered one can call on the Apocalypse these 7 keys are the 7 legendary pokemon based on ancient myths , tales told by religion

the requirements were as follows

battle system : pokemon black/white

story : there will be groups of 3 trainers  across 7 areas, one enemy team they are named similar to the ones in fullmetal alchemist
with one goal on mind bring the apocalypse this is the result of useing the legendry pokemon as a attempt to control the world as they are the keys to a seal ( drakengard ? anyone )

pokedex: its use starts with 7 separate lists and then combines them to national dex (post-apocalypic)

OCs : the game also has use of origional creations this included type the following were added to the already existing one ( Light, Sound, Magic, Tech, Cosmic, Nuclear, and Chaos. ) in the original chaos is too broken so i changed it to what i am familiar with based on the yu-gi-oh TCG lores.

chaos : deal 2x damage to all types / take 2x damage from all types
chaos : resistant to ( chaos, cosmic, light , dark )

since then there has been a lack of activity in the case it fails i will keep it going through use of dungeons and dragons, doing it a bit differently the use of the core system will also be added so the DM can combine to make its playing field.

in the case if the project gets abandoned i have adopted it for dungeons and dragons. there will be OCs and cannon characters as NPCs. i will run the thing on D&D 3.5e only and will also cross theme with dungeons and dragons chances are the original creations used by the first plan will be mixed

Many deviation submissions are being declined.  Most are really good art that, unfortunately, depicts something other than a dungeon environment (exterior scenery or landscapes).  I, Mistgod, your host have been described as a dictator.  Yep.  Tyrannical overlord is closer the mark!  :D  The submission rules will stay my fellow dungeon crawlers!  

Please remember that I have heard the pleas and cries and complaints!  The new sister group :icontall-tales-tavern: is a perfect place to find comfort, companionship and a welcoming environment after the dreadful dark of the dungeon.  All galleries auto accept submissions.  If it is RPG related, it will be a wonderful addition!  So bring the amazing art to the tavern and show it off.  Who wants to put that scene of the elf forest in a dank dungeon anyway?  

The above being stated, please continue to visit the dungeon with your dungeon style deviations!  Hey, look at the bright side, some of your deviations could appear in BOTH groups!  wow!  WOW!  Mistgod makes it happen.  

Your dictatorial, tyrannical overlord,

Mistgod the Megalomaniac

Admins

Welcome to the Dungeon!


Welcome to DungeonCrawl! This is a group dedicated to Dungeon Crawl style RPGs and dungeon related artwork. It's a great place for Dungeon Masters (and players) to post or view ideas, tricks, traps, monsters and inspirational art.

Wiki definition: "A dungeon crawl is a type of scenario in fantasy role-playing games in which heroes navigate a labyrinthine environment, battling various monsters and looting any treasure they may find." [link]

I think we can safely add sci fi dungeon crawls to the group. After all, there are games such as Doom or Tomb Raider that, to me, are classic dungeon delving type scenerios! Scenes from dungeon crawls in novels, movies and video games are welcome as well!

GROUP RULES:

NOTE: DungeonCrawl has now opened up most gallery folders for "auto approval." This simplifies the submission process for members. The group admin will simply remove any art that does not fit the group submission guidelines (without commenting). Please read these below as they are fairly narrow and strict.

1. Be nice.

2. Sexually explicit, controversial or distasteful art (even with an adult filter) will not be accepted. Deviations containing nudity will not be accepted. There are many younger members under 18 and this is a family friendly group.

3. Art submissions should have fantasy or science fiction dungeon crawl style RPGs as a dominant theme or major feature. This would include dungeon scenes, traps, tricks, dungeon dressing, monsters, characters and miniatures, adventure stories and ideas. A submission can be of any category (writing, drawing, photography). :gallery:

4. Deviations should depict a scene in a dungeon environment. Deviations containing characters, character parties or monsters should be set within a dungeon scene. Character or monster art with non-dungeon scenery will be declined. If the monster or character is not specifically depicted in a dungeon setting, the background should be very neutral (flat color or texture with no exterior landscape scenery). Visitors should have as few glimpses of the exterior world as possible. They have descended into the dungeon and they must survive the adventure therein!

Plain and simple: Deviations will depict a dungeon interior or have a very neutral background or be declined. No "nondungeon" exterior landscapes in the background. No forest scenes. No cityscapes. DUNGEONS is the theme. If the deviation does not depict a dungeon scene specifically then the background should be a flat color or texture with no scenery. The idea is to exclude imagery of an exterior landscape.

If you have a great deviation that might be declined in DungeonCrawl please submit to our sister group! You will always be welcome at the tavern.
:icontall-tales-tavern:

5. PLEASE do not submit computer game screen shots (unaltered and unedited screen captures of a game in progress)! These belong in your scrapbook only and not in DungeonCrawl. If I even suspect it is a game screenshot, I will decline the submission or remove it from DungeonCrawl. Game developement art that is YOUR OWN WORK should be clearly indicated as such in the artist comments.

6. The group founder reserves the right to modify and update the rules in the future when necessary.

What is DIFFERENT about :icondungeoncrawl:

In creating this group, I was hoping it would be a forum for inspiration and IDEAS for Dungeon Masters and Game Masters writing "home brewed" adventures. It would be great to see ideas in text form submitted for others to borrow, modify and share with other players in the RPG gaming community! I have already submitted quite a few.

Ideas need not be complex. Sometimes the simplest thing can be inspiring to a DM or GM and entertaining to his or her players! Most of my posted ideas are written up in short paragraph form.

It can be an idea for a magic item, a trap, a room or an encounter! Show your creativity and share with us your crazy imagination!

time zone (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)
table rules ::
1.) Stay in character for the majority of the session! When you come to the game, you are not yourself you are the character you built. However you may speak out of character in parenthesis or any other mark. Just indicate when you're not speaking as the character.
2.) When making your own choices, explain why and how you do them.

DungeonCrawl Special Feature #1Once again I must apologize.  I, your founder, have skipped July and went right to August before another Feature of the Month.  I might change the name to "Intermittent Feature" or "Special Feature!"  It is just too difficult for me to meet deadlines.  Ugh.  I like Special Feature, as it implies features may come at any frequency I wish.  Also, if a member wants to feature an artist or deviation (and sends me a note) we can have another special feature at any time.  I think I will number them starting with this one.  So this would be DungeonCrawl Special Feature #1! So without further ado...
BEHOLD!   DUNGEONCRAWL SPECIAL FEATURE #1!

Congratulations to our winner!
Also, congratulations to all of you who submitted work to the contest! The quality of the work submitted was inspiring and really made the contest interesting and fun.
Dungeon Tales: Where YOU Continue the Story!:iconnovadragon1000: suggested the idea of starting continuing dungeoncrawl tales, where members can submit what happens next evergrowing stories.  I think it is a pretty neat idea! I'm not exactly sure how to start it going.  So, please comment with any suggestions you might have.  Any creative writers out there?  lol
I think we start with a lead in narrative, setting a scene and introducing a few characters.  Then wait for a bold, imaginative, Dungeoncrawl member to write what happens next...  
Post Script: Here is the link to the Dungeon Tales gallery folder http://dungeoncrawl.deviantart.com/gallery/36536726
:iconnovadragon1000: will be "editor and chief," I, mistgod, :iconmistgod: have been delegated to "executive editor," which means I do nothing except enjoy what gets submitted and arranged into the gallery folder.  :D

Announcing The Iellos Campaign SettingTime to let the cat out of the bag, so to say...
This is an announcement that work on the Iellos RPG Campaign Setting Book is now underway!
What is Iellos? It is the world I created for role playing games back in 2008; and am now bringing to you in the form of a nice hardcover book. The Iellos setting draws heavily from Norse, Scandinavian, and English folklore and mythology; and is meant to give players a feeling that their characters are epic heroes throughout their adventures in the setting. Why go small time in your roleplaying? You are the one thing seperating the world from certain doom; and that's the main point I try to drive across throughout the book. Even at low levels, your actions can change the world.
Iellos hosts four different continents on it's plane; being Alenosa, Bria, Norncrast, and Ahrea. Alenosa is the homeland of the elves and lends itself to more fairy tale-esque roleplaying; Bria being the home of the dwarves and promoting nice snow-covered campaigns; Norncras
Iellos Setting Update 1 - ClericsThose Who Walk In The Paths Of Gods: The Clerics Of The Iellos Setting
It seems at times to me that I'm challenging a pattern that is very much set in stone when it comes to the issue of clerics; though it does seem to me that for the Iellos setting...some things must change.
As a DM for some time now, one of the most common things I've run across is the fact that most people do not find the concept of a cleric very appealing; or will feel as if their overall role in the campaign will simply be healing and healing again. This shouldn't be the case, obviously - Clerics in real life have been historically important, and not just for the purposes for healing; but for what better or worse could be called "miracles".
Gamewise, however, clerics are mainly used for healing and turning the undead in most systems they are usable as a class. Now true, these are important duties within the game, but clerics should not be limited to these two abilities only.
This brings up the question of "
D&D NextSo I recently signed up and downloaded the D&D Next play test pack. So hopefully some time soon you can expect some reviews of it as the development progresses.
So far just from looking at the kit and the pregenned characters I have a few things to say. On first glance like most editions of D&D (I started on 2nd) not much really looks different. Same six attributes, AC is still there (Thankfully they didn't decide to go back THAC0). On a slightly deeper look the game resembles some sort of hybrid between 3rd and 4th edition with minor elements from 2nd ed and bits and pieces reclaimed from pathfinder. Some interesting things to point out though.
Clerics and Wizards can cast minor spells as many times as they like one of which for wizards being magic missile, which should render wizards far more useful for combat. Knowledge skills are back in the game which I know a few people missed in 4th ed. Elves no longer can some how detect hidden doors which I'm glad of.
The game has backgrounds
Iellos Campaign Setting Play-By-Post ForumHello, Dungeon Crawlers!
Hoping that this post does not intrude on anyone here, but I am pleased to say that I now have a Play-By-Post (PbP) forum set up for the Iellos Campaign Setting that I am working on.
Mainly it's a way for me to playtest ideas and concepts I've been writing up for publishing and also to connect with more people then my initial test groups would allow. If you want to join in on a game, feel free to post as often or as little as you like, there's no obligation to play until the campaign is done.
The forum is here: http://iellospbp.proboards.com/index.cgi
Currently, the forum uses the Basic Fantasy Roll Playing Game found here: www.basicfantasy.org - however, once I have the final groundwork done on two new game systems I'm working on I will be unveiling them on the forum.
If playtesting new magic items/game systems sounds fun or if you feel like playing in a more dramatic game then the usual fare, feel free to drop by the forum and roll up a character! I'll make s
