Special Rules:
Bending Time and Space: Due to the warping nature of the dungeon, time does not pass in a linear fashion. When entering a previously explored area roll a d6. 1-2 Room Resets to before the players first entered. 3-4 Time has passed normally. 5-6 Time has passed at an accelerated rate - roll a d4 and a d30. If the d4 result is a 1 the d30 result is the number of days that have passed. On a 2 it is weeks, on a 3 months, and on a 4 years.

So I tried a couple times to view the Mobius Dungeon online - Google gave me fits - I finally was able to download it as a Doc. If you're using a newer version of Word, you can output it to pdf with that - Open Office also outputs to pdf - there's a bunch of other open source stuff too. I saved it as pdf - if you want me to send it to you, I can. daenralworldgmailcom...
ReplyDeleteI didn't saw that post! I made a Klein Bottle Dungeon a few months ago, so this is just awesome!
ReplyDelete@Daen ~ Unfortunately at work I don't have a newer version of office, or the ability to upload open office. At home, however, I do, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of it? It's very much a work in progress, but I'd definitely like some feedback.
@malsrpg - Glad you like it! Was it hard to run a klein bottle dungeon?
I really like the way time and space are warped - cool idea. My favorite part of the adventure is Jack (might make a random table on Jack's age for when they meet him - I like the "story" element of what you propose, but I'm a tinkerer...)
ReplyDeleteFreaky deaky!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason Jack makes me think of Bowman from 2001. Or some of the time tricks in Book of the New Sun ...
Verification is the command-word to your new Wand of Wonder: "Shazoo!"
Hrm. Technically, this seems to be a torus and not a moebius strip. Still, I like the idea and know exactly where to place it in my Southern Reaches campaign. >:)
