    But we already have vendors/merchants in dungeons here in SOTA (Kobold Merchant in K'Rul? - Others) so I think it is a valid thing - especially if some of these grow as large as I would hope.

    Each 8meter by 8 meter space costs 1 point. So a 24x24 room costs 9 points. An 8 meter straight hallway costs 1 point (as with T, V, and X intersections).

    I had the same idea and wondered if I could get the outside of one of those rooms to put on the topside of my POT to represent the outside of the underground room. So there would be that reason for the streaming light.

    To elaborate more on a keyboard instead of a phone.

    We see the inside of the "underground rooms". Theoretically there is an outside portion of the wall with that stained glass window.

    If I put that dungeon basement on a house on a hill then I would need another deco item to be set on the hillside representing the outside of that stained glass.

    So a 50 point dungeon is 50*8*8 = 3200 square meter.
    As comparison is a row lot 10*15 = 150 square meter.
    Would need a 21 story row lot basement to get that much area.

    A city lot is 40*60 = 2400 square meter.

    What? Who cares?

    NPCs are going to be necessary for player quest-related dungeons. I'd like to be able to populate a little kobold caravan who might sell goods, or a underground tavern for you to fence goods at. Player vendors could easily be used to sell keys or helpful goods. Having generic guards or beggars can add atmosphere. Not every dungeon has to be full of combat.

    They're instanced, so any size limitations are arbitrary.

    ;)

    What a great idea, what every dungeon needs is an underground lake in a cavern where we can fish for monsters.


    hehe

    Hmmmm. What a great idea for livestream stretch goals.


    Fountains with effects .........
    players would buy the hell outta those.

    @Vas Corp Por

    I'm planting an idea in List's head. *Uses the force* "These are the stretch goals you're looking for"
