  I&apos;m currently playing a game where in the first session we cleared out a small dungeon of bandits, and our thief rolled an investigation check and got a natural one in one of the rooms. We didn&apos;t think much of it, we finished the session and went on with the game not thinking anything of it. Fast forward to last month, we are now level 10 looking for an ancient artifact and our research takes us back to the same dungeon. As we went through a second time we could still see some bandit corpses, burns marks on the wall from spells, and our ranger even found a couple of their arrows. We got to the same room and this time the thief got a high roll, and the DM described how they noticed a seam in the brickwork that was revealed to be a hidden door. It was really cool to revisit the same dungeon a second time, see the remains of our previous fight there, and then discover new secrets inside of it.

  A dungeon for nothing more than all my money and resources? I guess my broke ass is getting a free dungeon!

  Here&apos;s a simple trick: 1) draw a tic tac toe board &nbsp;on your graph paper, dividing the paper into nine sections. 2) Draw a Tetris piece in the middle of each section. Place an additional piece in one section, so you have one section with two pieces in it. 3) number them 1-10 with 1 being the Entrance, and 10 being the final Big Bad Fight room. 4) Draw a path that connects the Entrance to the Big Bad room. 5) Put in aidditional connections to make sure that each room is accessible off the main path. Then make one of the rooms behind a secret door. 6) Finally populate each room with monsters, and traps, and junk and stuff to taste.

  I would totally watch a series of y&apos;all making different dungeons. And explain your thought process as you go through &nbsp;it.

  I&apos;ve seen a &quot;dungeon&quot; that was open to the sky: a settlement/mine built up the walls of a canyon so getting around was restricted to single paths or bridges (which is why it played like a dungeon), but you could see opponents moving around and exchange ranged fire with them across multiple levels. That combination of verticality, restricted movement but less restricted sight/combat really set it apart from your normal collection of rooms and tunnels.
