Yeah let's do Dungeon23!
I'm sticking pretty close to the original idea. One room a day, trying not to think ahead too much. Of course I have some ideas for what's to come, but they're not set in stone. Let's see what happens.
The themes I'm thinking about for this dungeon are the diversity of life, the desire to classify and control, and the passage of time.
The system is Into the Odd.
I'm intending to make one post a week, with the seven rooms of that week... but the first week of 2023 is very short, so this post has just one room! Being alone on the page it got a longer description than most rooms will get.
When I start a new level I'll write a description of that level's general environment.
Below Earthley Manor
Lord Taxet of Earthley Manor was an avid collector of naturalia, and loved showing off his collection to distinguished guests. One night, the manor burned to the ground, cause unknown. The lord was nowhere to be found.
But the manor's basement, home to the majority of the collection, was untouched by the fire. Without doubt there are many treasures and secrets to be recovered below ground...
Level One: The Collection
Wooden floors. Walls and ceiling are brick covered in plaster, painted with plant and flower decorations.
This level is dark. There are candleholders with unlit candles in every room.
Room 1
1. Stairs leading up to the surface.
Three doorways. A word is written above each. West: ANIMALIA. North: VEGETALIA. East: MINERALIA.
A small cabinet with glasses, and a broken brandy bottle.
