SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The very same. His Aoine stuff is actually very inspired and stimulating, creatively speaking.

Fascinating.  Almost all of these hopeless trolls and celebrity-haters are also notorious for their utter lack of talent... I guess he's the exception that proves the rule...

So I jumped through all these pages, and there are relatively few authors listed as potential bestselling megadungeon creators. Hm. I vote for Kuntz, Jaquays and why not? Tracy Hickman. The original Ravenloft module rocked.

Self and thread necro just to say that I agree with Cadriel mostly. I'd like to see a few levels of dungeons from easily a hundred people at this point. But I'm not as enthusiastic about a whole and complete megadungeon in one go as I used to be. I think Fight On!'s megadungeon was/is ideal in this sense.

Chainsaw

Matt Finch's Mythrus Tower (OD&D/S&W), easily. He's run scores and scores of players through the first five levels of it since it became a regular fixture at NTRPG Con in 2010. I've played in it three times myself. It's a nice mixture of funny, deadly and genuinely interesting situations and rooms. Unfortunately, it'll never be published and probably wouldn't be the same anyway.

Quote from: Fiasco;622887* Kevin Crawford - the best bet for someone to build concise rules for running a mega dungeon
Seconded. I'd buy anything by Mr. Crawford as his quality of work is outstanding.

Also, anything from Autarch will be very welcome (again, very high production quality).
We are but a tiny candle flickering against the darkness of our times.

People who make awesome settings aren't necessarily the people who make awesome megadungeons; I think there are two different skill-sets involved.
