Holy shit, how do I make dungeons interesting?
I'm going to DM for the first time (5e) and I just realized I don't know how to create dungeons.
The players were going to explore an abandoned mine in the forest filled with low level tree monsters to find out what's awakening them. Except it's fucking boring. What do I do?
Throw an NPC in that offers them a crazy choice so the PC's need to discuss it thoroughly

Your mine isn't just straight tunnels, is it?
Try thowing in some caverns, waterfalls, staircases, rope bridges, abandoned machinery, unexploded explosives, cave fish, artificial crevices for workers to run to when using explosives, old lamps, that sort of thing.
>>46657853
Think about how the trees could be strange/creepy.
Think about why the mine was abandoned.
Look up pics on google image like the one in your OP, use those for scenes.
What is the most disturbing thing Dark Eldar ever done? So far they seem to just be worse Chaos they keep yapping about how good they are at spreading fear and torturing but there is nothing to back it up and I really doubt they can inflict more pain than Fabius Bile. Shit race.

Well there's the anti-warp device powered by screaming tortured psyker souls, and the time a haemonculus flayed a noble, cut them apart, brought them back to life, nailed their bits to the ceiling and forcibly kept them alive as a sack of meat in constant agony. That was fun.

Fabulous Bill was trained by them
They fixed the Golden Throne. That's not that disturbing in itself, but they're going to come collecting at one point.
Why do elves generally use bows rather than something like boomerangs as their staple weapon? It's kinda perfect for elves, solid and heavy wooden weapon, always comes back, able to drop an elk at 100 yards in the hands of the right person.

>always comes back
Not if it hits something.
Pretty neat stuff

Boomerangs are fairly terrible weapons, and this is from someone who thinks that boomerangs are neat.
>always comes back
If you think that all boomerangs always come back, or ones designed to hunt game are the same as returning boomerangs, then I don't think you understand much of anything about them.
Anyways, the reason that elves generally use bows is Tolkien. A more general reason is that bows are a common war weapon, and so to use something effective, elves...

So, you have several choices on how to make it into the governor's heavily-guarded palace. You thought of possibly asking around the local trader's guild, possibly meeting some of your old contacts if they're around.
Ruul suggested taking the sewers; that's how people sneak into everywhere, isn't it?
Rei & Kei recommended looking around the Red Light District for info, as anything seedy is bound to have someone helpful.
You also mulled around the idea of disguising yourself as Navy soldiers and simply waltzing in the front door,...

Best to know the legal ways before trying anything more shady.Plus, they might tell us of a nice brothel to go to.

>Traders guild.
It's a fun place, lots of trades, and traders. Maybe we could attach ourselves to some delegation going to meet the Governor.

There are gamebooks on Steam. People are paying a lot of money for a fucking CYOA with dice.
So whats your excuse THIS TIME, /tg/?

Facts not in evidence, etc.

Shitpost better, OP.
I got one in a humble indie bundle once
it's okay I guess. Got most of the original books second hand at a fete, and this is certainly more convenient, but I wouldn't pay much for them.
>>46655465
It's likely that if they were quality they would have been recognized as such.
That said, I've considered the same sort of concept, as I'm drveloping as a programmer.
More as an experiment than anything else, probably end up being cheap as fuck.

Do we have a compilation of the material from the other threads yet?
I'm currently working on an official write-up for the Virtuamancer, the Adept School based on playing occult-influenced video games and inflicting game rules on the real world. Two questions:
1.) Is there a better name for the Virtuamancer? I considered "Ludomancer" but that to me feels like it would be more about game theory. One thing I considered is "Virtual-Shaman", since the whole idea of the school is using games to access an altered state of perception and reality
2. I want a more symbolic name for the altered games that Virtuamancers...
