An Adventure in 3 Oracle Rolls





Hello everyone,

One exercise I love to engage in is the interpretation of oracles. Today, I'm having some fun and showing you how with 3 random oracles, I can create a role-playing scenario worthy of the greatest creations by Wizards.

As always, this is homemade stuff, far from the big productions that grace us with tons of complex rules and often more decorative than genuinely useful materials.

How to Create a Living Dungeon



Imagine for a moment entering a dungeon where every corner breathes, beats, fights, or cooperates. This is not simply a series of rooms filled with obstacles and monsters to defeat. No, it is a dynamic ecosystem, teeming with life and stories, where monsters have their own dramas, friendships, and survival strategies. A living dungeon!
