>Dungeon Entrance
Is this the most interesting dungeon entrance?
Can you provide an image of a better dungeon entryway?
>>45220798
All right, so it's in Portugal and it gets posted on Pinterest quite a bit.What is this and where does the water go?
>>45220935
ive seen similar holes in ponds all around the western united states
i believe the water gets treated in someway then pumped right back into the pond
>>45220935

They're called Glory Holes, and they give me nightmares.

You don't need to worry about getting bit, if you're the one doing the sucking.
>>45220798
Nope.
Nope nope nope.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE
>>45220935
it looks like an artificial draining system for overflows, that has grown reeds around it in the summer months before rainfall
>>45220935
That's a drain hole used to regulate water level in the lake behind a dam. The one in OP is at Covão dos Conchos.
>>45220798
Does someone drop in one after getting too close, perhaps on a dare?
Drowning is not a pleasant way to go to begin with, but this, eww.

It's actually quite pleasant after the initial burn.

Dare you enter my magical dungeon?
>>45221017
I'd rather chance myhorsecock, or blow strangers than get near one.
Apparently they're technically called 'Bell Mouth Spillways' but glory hole is the term I learned first.

Yeah, nah. I don't think interest means what you think it means.
>>45226099
Seeing some of these entrances does certainly make me interestED

Tiny dungeon
>>45223810
Real cave collapsing under its own weight, crystals falling off the walls.
Researchers did their experiments then flooded the cavern once more (maybe to pacify angry earth elementals?)
>>45223817
>filename
You cheeky little fuck.
>>45230338
Jesus Christ just the thought of doing that gave me a panic attack and I'm not even claustrophobic.
>>45230338
I've gone through something that tight before, but it wasn't a plain hole in the ground.
It was a funnel 2m at the top, shrinking down to that size then going horizontally for 5m and then a big round cave.
I went in with just my pants and a frontal light on because I was wearing a good shirt, I knew it was safe beforehand but it was quite stressful.
>>45220798

A dragoness's mouth/pussyor any large monster's orifice
>Can you provide an image of a better dungeon entryway?Got not SFW examples

I'm surprised it took this long
>>45225839
Protip: It involves sulfur, salt and shovels
>>45230748
I would be running for a pick to widen it.

You'd be arrested for defacing a national monument.

Check'd, also could be a hilarious dungeon concept. Only two of my players have read that comic, and I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
>>45231000
I would nope out immediately if that came up.
I would put the dungeon in a giant worm, make the mouth its entrance.
>>45220798
I would, but this is a blue board.
>>45233628

Both sides told the trees that the other country is has a fascist government and the trees are both gullible and afraid of axes.

I hope you put some points in sailing.
>>45234096
I've always loved that pic
Feels like there needs to be an epic story behind it
>>45230338
There is one story about one guy who stuck in cave.
There was no way to get him put, so he was left to die.
>>45225839
Turns out that animals like walking on clearer paths, just like humans do.
Turns out that if you clear a path for vehicles, it takes a while for trees to grow on it.
Turns out if an animal walks in a grassy path, the grass usually stays okay, but the trees do not spread into it very well.
>>45236270
Geomancer made Aqueduct.
Also used in rapid message transferring in the empire.
>>45237022
Were they drunk when they made it?
>>45237068
Good luck finding a sober Geomancer.
>>45237068
He let a donkey loose and marked the path it took.
The same way they design roads.
prismatic hot spring gotta have water breathing and fire protection.
Any entrance that's overgrown and has to be cleansed from the roots and other growth turns me on. Displays incredible age of the place which is even better.
Not sure if we should be playing warlocks or paladins at this point.
>>45237941
Better hope you are Grey Knights
Your players will never expect it!

>dungeon is the House of Leaves
>>45225749
Stranger 'Caves' have the best candy?
What about a normal city that happens to be also a dungeon?
Some doors, any door, maybe the one that leads to the kitchen of the tavern, or the bathroom door in a house, leads to a certain part of a dungeon.
And some entrances and holes in the dungeon lead to parts of the town.
Let's say.. you get into the bakery just to end up in a room with some monsters. You kill them and you go out. You explore the place a few moments but when you enter into another room of the dungeon, you end up appearing in the tavern, or maybe in the bakery itself.
>>45225599
That's what they want you to think.
>>45238479
So would it have normal citizens going about their daily lives, aware that there are monsters living in their basements?
>>45236516
You have a zen-like stupidity
Best of luck in all your future endeavors
>>45238554
Maybe the whole city is an illusion.
Maybe the portals that lead the players to the dungeon don't affect the citizens.
Maybe it's all a huge conspiracy.
Maybe the citizens aren't what they seem to be.
Maybe all the citizens are already controlled by the boss of the dungeon, so the monsters under his service don't attack them.
Hell it's a damn game and it probably involves magic or high-tech, you can fill the plot holes in any way you want.
>>45238792
>Hell it's a damn game and it probably involves magic or high-tech, you can fill the plot holes in any way you want.
No shit, but I was asking how you were picturing it.
>>45227437
Actually, I gotta say, that's pretty clever.
I can see starting the campaign this way too, but misdirecting your players, subtly, to think that they got this punishment for sub optimal characters.
>>45238826
Sorry if it sounded aggressive, it wasn't. I was just brainstorming a little.
Most of the ideas I mentioned sound fine to me... hmmm
Probably the most appealing is one where the citizens aren't aware at all of this. So maybe they are not affected or they are somehow hypnotized or something to not detect the dungeon parts or the monsters.
That might lead to interesting situations where the party, trying to save everyone, end up getting in trouble in the city cause they are acting like mad men.
>>45238554
Probably not, I feel like having a dungeon fused with your town could really fuck up infrastructure. It would probably be a ghost town
>>45238906
I've actually run that before, as I'm sure many others have in the long history of tabletop. It's a pretty cool adventure, would run again.
>>45238906
Perhaps even a citizen dies falling into a pit or something and the city blames the recently arrived party.
>>45237941
Is that Prometheus?
>>45238953
Shadar Logoth with monsters?
>>45230338
I really hope there's another way out.
>>45238959
I feel considerably less cool now hah
Well, I never mastered anything to be honest so I might have a lot of ideas experienced masters already tried.
>>45238975

>I feel considerably less cool now hah
Don't, virtually everything has been played by someone at this point. Just have fun.
>>45225599
Loot from 300 people? Some of them high level? Damn I'm conflicted.
>>45239037
Considering how there are people making tv series out from movies, I'd say originality is pretty much dead.
>>45238975
Event Horizon.
>>45239078
Except that the Hannibal series is better than the films and the books combined.

Somehow it reminds me of Prince of Persia; and Dark messiah of might and magic
>>45223843
that's no cave.
>>45238211
I don't understand.

I aint no god damn wizard. get that shit outta here you damn devil magic worshippin sumbitch.
>>45220798
Holy fuck that's cool, could someone tell me how it works?
>>45240063
It's a drainage well in the pond. You can see the raised edges of the well under water. Since it's slightly below the water level, water keeps flowing into it, and presumably through drainage pipes into a river or something.
Judging from the grass growing on the inside, the water level on the pond varies between seasons. The well is presumably built to prevent flooding during the time of the years the water level is at the highest.
>>45239206
>> Bonus points for doing this to the lamest roleplayer in the group, to force him to enrich his character.

Was the donkey drunk?
>>45237504
Is that the one where a guy's dog jumped in and he went in after it and later died from the burns?
>>45239206
Now I'm thinking that all of the party members have a dungeon in them, with their general backstory/occupation being exaggerated for the theme.
>innawoods guy gets fauna-filled forest with many survival-based challenges
>businessman gets a maze of cubicles, each with some information to get to the next, smaller level of cubicles, all with the incessant feeling of not making any progress
>student gets an abandoned school riddled with puzzles and trivia, including constant whiteboard reminders of being ready for "the real world" of the workforce
>musician gets a concert hall where all sounds are a bit too easy to hear, following their childhood lullaby leads to the exit
>>45220798
That's a small ditch in a pond, it's a 1/10 dungeon entrance. The only reason it's not 0/10 is because nobody would expect a dungeon under there.
https://youtu.be/AiP7_Wx0CHo?t=79
1:19 if you feel like skipping forward, last I checked embed at a certain time doesn't work on 4chins unless you open in a separate tab.
>>45220798
Stepwells make good dungeon entrances, especially the straight ones. You have the well itself, possibly a temple at the higher levels, and it goes down.
>>45234096
Right-click, save, oh it's saving in my unsorted porn directory, but who cares. It's beautiful.
>>45245407
I'm not sure you understand what a ditch actually is.

Good luck finding a sober donkey.

Anyone else getting a Kakurenbo Hide & Seek vibe?
>>45220798
My favorite dungeon entrances are innocuous doorways in completely mundane palces. I once ran a game where they party went through like 8 session dungeon whose entrance was at the back of a pantry of this random peasants house that the PC's were helping out. There was a rusty padlock on it that the rouge easily got through and a sign that said "keep out! Rats!" but, ya know, PC's cant read signs.

I can understand the rest of it, but when the hyperspace physics you're experimenting with requires an engine chamber that looks like _that_, how the fuck do you not burn the plans and drink until you forget you ever discovered how to FTL?

I'll admit it, I've never seen Event Horizon.
Why is this so horrifying?
>>45257241
It's the experimental FTL drive of the Event Horizon, a test ship which went missing at the edge of the system and mysteriously reappeared.
A rescue/salvage mission was sent to recover it.

One of those flipside-of-the-world deals, I expect.
In the Mundane reality, it's a valley eroded away by a river.
Recite the proper incantation at the mouth of the river and you end up there.

Presumably the locals would know where not to go. Alternately this connection could be a new phenomenon.
Makes a great and very straightforward way to combine a typical dungeon-delving and a city politics campaign, though.

On top of all that, the gothic design of the FTL chamberalong with the "warp dimension" basically being hellwas a direct nod to 40K according to the crew.
