Game Ideas Unlimited: An Amusing Dungeon

I was going to post this on Friday, but if you've seen my Blogless Lepolt entry for today you know what happened to that plan.

As I mentioned a week ago, there are many articles in the archives here--near a thousand, according to the automatic article counter, but I'm not certain how many of those are articles as opposed to mislabled reviews, blog posts, or interviews (which don't have a category of their own, so they'll remain articles). I'm only giving you a tour of the two hundred I wrote as part of the Game Ideas Unlimited series.

Let me invite you to read Game Ideas Unlimited: An Amusing Dungeon. I don't want to say too much about it, as the first time it ran the promotional blurb gave away one of the kickers. Let's just say that it's about juxtaposing one relatively common setting against another, and making the dissimilar fit in surprising ways.

I look forward to thoughts, responses, reactions, and ideas.

I remember that one, it was one of my favorites. Goes nicely with one of your later columns that talked about rearranging the walls of the dungeon as you go along to confound your players and make sure they don't miss out on any of the fun...
