Poll

EN5ider #500 Megadungeon Megapoll!

  • ANCIENT - The megadungeon is filled with unexplained phenomena and archaic contraptions that defy understanding. 53
  • BIOLOGICAL - The megadungeon is the inside of an enormous creature (perhaps fungal, perhaps ickier). 14
  • BIO-REACTIVE - The megadungeon is both alive and aware of trespassers (not unlike the original Sarlacc Pit with the bound spirit of Susejo). 17
  • CLASSIC - Old school with cultists and fighting a big monster at the end—maybe a dragon. 16
  • COSMIC - Crossing the megadungeon is like galactic travel with each room being a different planet (or planetoid). 19
  • DECAY - The further the party goes into the megadungeon the less of it there is (gradually more decayed, monsters included). 7
  • DECK OF MANY DUNGEONS - 52 rooms each tied to a standard playing card; shuffle the deck, pick 5 rooms, sub-themes by suite. 22
  • DICE - Each room is randomly rolled to determine its contents with scaling difficulty; every party explores a different megadungeon. 6
  • FUTURISTIC - The megadungeon is from the future or otherwise filled with scientific and technological wonders (maybe resembling a spaceship) 11
  • GAUNTLET - The megadungeon has 500 baddies to get through before reaching the end. 3
  • IDEAS - The megadungeon is where imaginary things go to die. 19
  • NATURE - The megadungeon is made up of rooms for every kind of terrain (coastal, grasslands, forest, volcanic, etc.) 3
  • OOZE - The megadungeon begins in the center of a super-massive ooze and the PCs have to travel between engulfed structures to escape. 5
  • PLANAR - The megadungeon is made of rooms based off of many different dimensions (hell room, abyss room, celestial room, limbo room, etc.) 14
  • POSTMODERN - The megadungeon is a functioning monster community gone awry or that the PCs otherwise disrupt. 9
  • PSIONIC - The megadungeon is a series of mindscapes (including those of adventurers that have died within; not unlike Psychonauts). 10
  • REACTIVE - The entirety of the megadungeon is a self-aware construct actively fighting the PCs (a living dungeon). 48
  • TAROT - The megadungeon's rooms are based off of cards in the tarot. 21
  • THE DUNGEON OF THE DECK OF MANY THINGS - Like the DECK OF MANY DUNGEONS theme but base rooms off of the Deck of Many Things. 4
  • TOURNAMENT - A grandmaster of sorts has created the megadungeon as a form of bloodsport where fool adventurers die to entertain onlookers. 10

Content

We are a ways off (more than half a year) from this incredible milestone and really want it to be something truly spectacular so planning for it is already underway. We know we're making a megadungeon, but we want your help on figuring more about it! 

Usually EN5ider pitches are blinded then scored and commissioned—that's not what we're doing for issue #500. Instead this megadungeon will feature encounters and rooms from over a dozen of our most talented designers all working in tandem under one theme.

Megadungeon Theme

What theme will designers be working towards? We don't know yet! We have however brainstormed 20 different options and would love it if you—the fantastic patrons that make this whole thing possible—played a part in the choosing. Vote below with your favorites!

500 Regardless

No matter what theme the megadungeon has, because it's the 500th issue of EN5ider that number will figure in somehow. The party will have to collect 500 of something (with more being gained in tougher rooms, less gained in easier rooms) before the megadungeon can be completed, though what that something is we won't know until after the theme is selected.

Voting ends on Saturday May 21st at 4:59 PM EDT / 9:59 PM GMT!
