Posting a WIP to get some feedback.

The idea is that with bigger size comes way more resources but with small size and concentrated magic you unlock really cool combinations that the bigger choices just can't get.

Eventually the ambition is to let you design a final boss stage, a dungeon crawl or a city. I'm not sure how yet, I'm adding stuff as it comes to mind and wondered if maybe anybody had any suggestions.

Not really the theme I had in mind for this.

I thought maybe there could be a champion designer.

To get lots of champions you need a lot of materium but to get heavily upgraded ones you need lots of immaterium.

Champions could be a horde of zombies, a minotaur or a dragon. Monsters that adventurers have to fight.

You can get a mindless monster without beast taming, you just need to take the whole ecosystem with it. Get rid of the blood pit as a choice and have it just be assumed you have one when you tame a beast.

I've decided to do this here and by Jove I will complete it here before posting anywhere else.

Different structures and minions should have different magic requirements but first the lists will have to be filled up.

Things you'd like to see in a dungeoncrawl guys.

I really don't know what to put in materium.

What other kinds of treasure could be added?

Maaagic traps

Statues that can turn into animated guardians

Who knows, I have a few ideas.

Dark Temple

"A quick prayer, a small sacrifice to mischievous gods does more good than harm, but should the temple be ransacked you will face dire consequences"

Cursed Artifact

"A holy relic, by another name. Since they're part of goblin lore and folklore they are worth more than a normal artifact, but also tend to attract attention of more orthodox men of the divine forces."

Goblin King's regalia

"Protecting the Goblin King's personal regalia is perhaps a risky way of getting more resources. You will get grand amount of resources, but also the attention of expert thieves, assassins, and other money seekers, and failure to defend the King's equipment carries hefty penalties."

I really wanted to describe them for whatever reason, sorry if I'm doing most of your work here.

Just wanted to say that I am working on this sporadically.

I'm really thinking about the goblin's king regalia. It should be a super high level object with a high barrier to stop you from taking it twenty times but without it being the main quest of adventurers. Because what are looters going to do with some ceremonially significant treasure?

Maybe it's actual gods coming after it.

Well I was wondering why I replied to a dead thread, but it seems OP is still here, by chance.

Good luck to you, anon.

And for "The Materium" treasures, I have a few ideas again.

>Alchemy Storage

Contains health and magic potions, herbs, and other things used by guards working under the Goblin King. Since the items are fragile, putting guards inside the storage might be a bad idea…

Also

>Art produces 1 resource for 5 materium, and has bonus protection

Why take Gold when you have this? Am I missing something?

Also, try to keep Materium costs streamlined. As in, low materium costs on the top, higher materium costs on the bottom.

Adventurer 03/22/16 (Tue) 19:51:05 No.1675

>>1674

Art is frail and can be damaged. I thought that was rather explicit.

I'll sort things to cost when I've managed to fill it up.

I'm still deliberating on the alchemy thing.

I'm hoping to convey a bit of a feel for ancient artefacts hidden into deep vaults and almost forgotten about.

Don't you think alchemical potions would be relatively low-value quickly produced, quickly used up?

Adventurer 03/22/16 (Tue) 20:32:08 No.1678

>>1677

Well that makes some sense, I guess.

Are there any other conditions for Materium items?

>>1678

Materium is like the gold bars in large banks. But at the same time it's the kind of stuff you'd hope to find in a dungeon crawl. Just really valuable stuff that you want to keep locked up as deep down as possible.

Structures and minions are how you design your dungeon to keep people out. You see crafter station sort of incorporated the alchemy storage idea.

So when I think about it Totems doesn't really belong in materium either.

Adventurer 03/22/16 (Tue) 22:37:36 No.1680

>>1679

Well, that's alright.

Still, I think adding some one-use items to the list isn't that bad of a idea. Maybe not HP potions now that I think about it, but maybe exotic magical scrolls and potions that help non-spell casters and get stolen by actual spellcasters would be a tempting idea.

Or just reusable scrolls if one-use items aren't your thing.

Would that include rare ores? Because I think "Exotic Material" would be a good filler.

That does sound good. I think I'll put all exotic materials under one option like you suggested.

Idea for Champion.

>Beastmaster/Warlord/Whateveryounameit

Not strong has other Champions himself, this genial warrior knows how to control dumber beasts and make intelligent use of more intelligent creatures such as spirits and goblins.

Also, the death of a Goblin Noble is such a high risk that it probably should generate more resource.

So I'm editing the png's now, without fancy layers.

I'm going to go ahead and call it finished here.

To be perfectly honest I consider this a failed project.

The crypt keeper/dungeon master/lord choice just doesn't mean enough.

Lord tells you you get to control the infrastructure of a dungeon world but it's just a larger dungeon, there's nothing about food production, trade routes and entrance portals there.

So immediately, the main hook of the mechanics has failed.

I don't know about how much you're able to put a personalized touch to your builds, I fear the choices are too similar for that. I can't judge that for myself, I need people to try it and tell me if they felt like they were able to make something they could consider their own.

Worldbuilding was never supposed to be a main draw, it's just a generic dungeon world as framing device for the choices so it doesn't make up for the failings either.

All things to consider in my next project.

Maybe this will add some much needed flavor to the lord choice.
