Making custom floors for the game
So ever since I pledged to the Backerkit, I’ve been in a creative mode in anticipation for the TTRPG. I created two crawler personas but now I’m in DM mode and creating floor themes. I decided to share them on here both to share my ideas and help other potential System AIs design their Dungeon Crawler Worlds as well as maybe get some feedback or suggestions for floors.
My Floors (as the game only has up to Floor Five):
Tutorial Levels 1 & 2: Big Box Apocalypse
“What’s worse than working retail? How about working retail while a hunk of space rock the size of Colorado is bearing down on you from above? It’s Meteor Monday and everything and everyone must go! Crawlers rush through a big box store on the brink of annihilation as they outrun service goblins and gnoll shoppers to find those precious stairwells down to the next floor. Department bosses roam the sales floor and watch our crawlers enter the Space Smash Sweepstakes to hoard as many prizes as they can before everything becomes a crater!”
Floor 3: The Haunting of Woe House
“Nothing says drama and intrigue like ghost stories set in a haunted house. In the house of famed occult anarchist Eldritchia Woe, a Woeful wedding takes place. But someone has killed the groom! Who could have done such a thing? Well, viewers, that’s the crawler’s problem to figure out because if they don’t find the culprit, they’ll NEVER be getting out of this massive mansion alive! Watch the gripping horror thriller as the crawlers attempt to navigate over 200 quintillion rooms full of ghosts, ghouls and spirits! Special guest star V’rrrika Bujo as the Countess of Grendalia in the *Voices in the Dark* serial, streaming on demand!”
Floor 4: Corporate Warfare
“Crawlers will climb the corporate ladder to success and safety as the rising tide of scalding morning coffee floods the lower floors! See our crawlers scale the Beige Spire as they attempt to reach the top floor and face off against the fearsome UPPER MANAGEMENT! It’s a pyramid scheme of PAIN! Sponsorship slots are going fast so you better get your bids in NOW!”
Floor 5: The Endless Siege
“One Castle. An endless army of orcs. No escape. And at the center of the whole thing? A NEW GOD! That’s right! Crawlers will hold the line as a brand new god is about to be born. 10 days of violence and war until the stairs open up and there’s no telling what could happen! You’ll pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge!”
