Hexenburg: A Shadowdark Megadungeon


The Hexagon has become Hexenburg and I've run the first session. I built the Ground Floor of the dungeon using Donjon.gin.sh and I learned that the Player version of a level INCLUDES Secret Rooms so I've definitely learned a lesson there. The players made it about a quarter of the way through the Ground Floor before discovering a short cut to a sub-level (the Enchantment School Lab four levels below) but were scared off because they encountered a Hook Horror and an Umber Hulk fighting each other viciously.

Session 2 will pick up with them returning to the Ground Floor.

The expedition is being organized and financed by Zebulon of Tane who worked at the Library of Davion on the border of Ving and Borgia. He is looking for any and all books the delvers find and 30% of any treasure. Several member of the group are suspicious of him.

I had seven players and I think most will return for the next session in January.

Hexenburg is a sprawling, cursed megadungeon where ancient witch-queens once ruled. Beneath its shattered towers lie twisting catacombs, forbidden rituals, and lurking horrors. Explorers face deadly traps, rival cults, and shadow-haunted halls while seeking forgotten relics, dark magic, and secrets that could doom—or save—the realm. sex crimes attorney near me

That sounds like a really fun first session! The Hook Horror and Umber Hulk encounter sounds like a great way to make the players think twice before exploring that shortcut. I also like the idea of Zebulon financing the expedition while the group remains suspicious of his motives—it gives the campaign another layer of mystery. I’m curious to see what they discover when they return to the Ground Floor. For anyone interested in exploring another gaming experience, the Royal Dream App download page may also be worth checking out.
