Through the magic of democracy (Mastodon’s poll function), an account called Dungeons over on the federated Twitter-alternative platform is letting its audience choose their own adventure in an ongoing D&D campaign.

    Although it is reallt cool, I wouldn’t go so far as calling it a campaign. It looks like you just fight monster after monster and that’s it

        Eh, even then im sure there was “go to this room” or “buy this from the merchant”

        It wasn’t just

        “Figjt monster”

        “OK he’s dead, new monster”

        “Fight monster”

          Fair enough. I absolutely remember running randomly generated dungeons from the back of the 1st edition DM’s guide, and the players dutifully mapping it out on graph paper. No cohesive dungeon theme, just all random monsters and such.

          It was kind of fun, like playing Diablo.

          Of course this also reminds me of the first time I ran Pacesetters Chill. A single monster… investigations, a false finish. My player’s loved it. This Dungeon Bot is the complete opposite that, for sure, but it’s still kind of fun, like just mowing through random monsters.
