Thanks! πŸ™
Yes, it's set in the same region, and related to my previous two adventures (well, about as much as these two are related to each other, so not a direct sequel or anything).

This lady is harder than steel, and Evlyn's made her look so much better than what I pictured!
I can't wait for my players to meet her (hopefully next week), and possibly your players too (hopefully in the next few months)!

Maybe the *look* isn't the key here? It should *play* like AI slop, so focus on tools for the ref to trap PCs in that ugly space, without looking like it on the page? Don't ask me how though, all my AIs tend to sound like 80s parser games... (which is why I would dig tools to "upgrade" them!)

Talking to the Dungeon <p>Prepping dungeons is hard and while I’ve read a lot of great modules, I never seem to remember what I loved about them other than the vibe. So now, whenever I read a module and notice a cool monste...

Wrote a bit about making a dungeon book and how I'm starting to view dungeon crawls as a conversation between the dungeon and the players. And what that kind of storytelling means.
