Several months ago I got the idea for this post when a person on the Swords & Wizardry G+ group asked for advice on making a megadungeon. I have two - Nightwick Abbey and Uz's Undercity - and I have run them quite a lot. By my (probably flawed) math, I have run Nightwick alone for more sessions than James ran his original Dwimmermount campaign and online playtests combined. My online group often asserts that megadungeons are my bread and butter. Presumably I've learned something about making them and running them in all that time, and this is my attempt to try to organize that learning. A megadungeon needs a theme. The standard theme is, of course, "a wizard built it for weird wizard reasons." That is a fine one and allows for a wide variety encounters, tricks, and traps, but for reasons I will reveal later I don't think its necessarily the best idea. I think you need something stronger - more particular to the dungeon. Make sure the theme is something that speaks to you. It needs to come from some kind of media you don't mind revisiting to draw from the well when you're not in the mood or stuck for ideas. For me that meant horror movies. It is also important for levels and sublevels to have themes that, while tied to the dungeon as a whole, make them unique. One of the bigger problems with the first version of Nightwick Abbey is the first level showed all of its cards too early. The "new"* version instead has much more themed levels - a cloister, a garden, torture chambers, catacombs, etc. - that help the DM and the players keep from getting bored. It also means there's a greater sense of discovery because either the thing you discovered is new and interesting (a new level with a different theme) or it hints at something about the level currently being explored. The Player's Map of First Level of Nightwick Abbey. Letter Designations were Assigned by Players. I use geomorphs for Nightwick and the Pettigrew Papers for Uz, and both of these sources allow me to have micro-themes within the bigger themes of the level and the dungeon. In the case of Nightwick Abbey each geomorph has a broad description of what it is before I start stocking it. The geomorphs have since become fairly obvious to the online group - who keep track of their divisions, but I'm not so much bothered by that. Geomorphs are a very easy way to Jaquays your dungeon. Stocking algorithms are incredibly important to the way I design dungeons and run games in general. The main reason I use them is the help keep the voices in my head quiet, but I think its worth commenting on how they affect my games. Once I have assigned a geomorph/pettigrew complex a theme I divide the number of rooms in it by three (always rounding up if I have to). That gives me the number of rooms with monsters in them. Then I use Courtney's Treasure Tables to generate an equal number of small caches (1d3 treasure parcels each). Half of these will go in rooms with monsters, a quarter of the ones without monsters will be trapped, and a quarter will just be free treasure. If the theme of the geomorph/complex necessitates a boss monster then I will increase their treasure parcels to the 4 + 1d4 - 2 one. I give each geomorph or complex a special if I can think of one. If I can't think of one then in the case of Nightwick Abbey I don't sweat it that much because Nightwick's entire operating mode is a special.** On the level map I posted there are only maybe two truly empty rooms. Only 1/3 of the rooms have a monster encounter, but the rooms without them often have elaborate decorations or clues as to the nature of the dungeon. These are usually based on the geomorph, level, or dungeon theme. This is why it is important to have a very personalized theme: when you're stocking an 80 room level, eventually you will run out of ideas; however, if the themes you've picked are resonant enough with your brain you should be able to fill in the gaps with something. It also important to remember that something is better than nothing. All D&D is hackwork and a half-assed idea that gets your game on the table is better than a perfect one that takes months. Imma Stock all the Rooms! Back in the dim antiquity of 2009 when I first started thinking about the dungeon that would become Nightwick Abbey, there were a lot of hot takes saying that megadungeons needed to be huge. At the time I felt that Nightwick was too small but was unwilling to enlarge it due to laziness. Then I ran level one. For five years. ~77 rooms got me about 5 years of play without my needing to make a second level (though I kept promising I would). Experience with the Uz Undercity - which is a little less traditionally designed - has convinced me that 60 - 80 rooms a level is plenty mega for players to get lost and have plenty of options to explore. I wouldn't advise trying to get by with just one level, but the current version of Nightwick has 2 60 - 80 room levels and two ~30 room sublevels. This has been enough prep that I haven't touched it in two years and it seems like I may not have to for a long while yet. One thing to remember is to restock your content. A simple version I use is that a room restocks on a 1-2 on the dice. The first week after the room has been explored you roll a d20, the next week a d12, then a d8, then a d6, then a d4 and you roll that d4 for each additional week until it restocks. This has worked very well for me, when I remember to do it. I'll end with some pictures of my "Nightwick Abbey Prototype" - the graph composition notebook I keep my dungeon notes in. *It is some years old. **It's a living dungeon that shifts when the PCs do things it doesn't like.

Sweden- Land of the Midnight Sun Ok, so we're all finished with Thanksgiving and ready to hit our next destination. Grab your sweaters and warm mittens because we're off to Sweden! Now, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that all I know about Sweden I learned at IKEA. I'm pretty sure I could pick it out on the map (maybe) but I know I like their meatballs :) So here we go, let's learn something about Sweden!! First, let's find it on a map. It's located in Northern Europe on what is called the Scandinavian Peninsula. The capital, Stockholm, is in the southern part of the country, which is also the most populated part of the country. Stockholm's latitude and longitude are 59.33°N/18.07°E - did you find it? Was it where you thought it was? Sweden is the third largest country in Europe (after France and Spain) but still only about the size of California, and has less than 10 million people living in it. It is officially known as "The Kingdom of Sweden" and King Carl XVI has been ruling since 1973. King Carl XVI and his Queen Silvia don't have any real authority though, like Great Britain, the country is governed by the laws of the Democratic Parliament. They rule a country of well educated, peaceful people with some of the highest quality of life statistics. Must be the good food that makes them so happy :) This week we'll be making some of that good, simple food. Besides the good food, another thing Sweden has a lot of is Moose. There are supposed to be between 300,000 and 400,000 moose (mooses?) living in Sweden. For a country the size of California, and considering the size of a moose, that's A LOT! So expect a cute moose project. Some famous people have come out of Sweden, too. There's Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite (1866) and the namesake of the Nobel Awards. So we'll be blowing up some stuff!!! Just kidding, that would be fun but I don't know where I'd get any dynamite (and there's the safety factor). So we're going back to my old childhood friend, Pippi Longstocking, a fictional character written by Astrid Lindgren. And lastly, because Sweden is known as "The Land of the Midnight Sun" we will do a little science project with light and dark - maybe learn shadow puppets?! It should be a fun week - we've already started our research with a little after-school trip to IKEA, Sweden's most famous store! Can't beat a plate of swedish meatballs for $3.99!!

Monpazier is officially one of the “Most Beautiful Villages” in France – but it’s also an example of a particular kind of military defensive structure, a bastide. This week we visit this gem in the Perigord region of the Dordogne.

Topographic Maps These topographic maps are made with multiple layers and then covered with a clear acrylic top layer. The roads, names, icons, and other information are engraved on the back side acrylic and are a frosty white while the surface remains smooth. The maps are then finished off with your choice of Black, Blue Stained Pine, Cherry, or Walnut. These maps are available in 3 sizes. 13"x19", 17.8"x26", and 26"x38". The total depth of the map including the frame is 1 5/8" deep. Because of the nature of the chipboard used for the layers, it cannot be painted. Paint will cause warping which can affect the overall quality of the map. If a lake is the focal point of the map, the "water" will be blue and contours and other lake information can be added. The maps will be finished off with a french cleat on the back side to help assist with easy hanging.

There is a wide range of Language Learners. Some students may have a strong educational background in their native country. You might have some students who have interrupted schooling. There are others who might have gone to school, but only for a few years. When they arrive in your classroom ready to learn, you have a melting pot of situations. I want you to know you are not alone. I would like to share with you some effective tips I have used in my classroom. PLUS provide you with an ESL Curriculum Map for the school year. You need a plan. I cannot stress this to you enough. Before you get into how you are going to teach the students, you first need to determine what you are teaching. This means sitting down and mapping out your lessons for the year. It does not have to be detailed, but you do need to guide of what you are teaching. I know a common struggle is not having a curriculum. That is why I want to provide you with an ESL Curriculum Guide that will provide you with topics and ideas for the school year. If you do have textbooks, look at the table of contents in your textbook for topics. The table of contents can be your guide in creating your plans. Using stations in your newcomer classroom is beneficial. Stations are so much fun and students simply love them. Who doesn’t want to be independent? In my classroom, I have a listening station, speaking station, writing station, and work with-teacher station. This allows me to address the needs of all the ELLs (English Language Learners) in my classroom. Here is the secret to making stations successful: You need a PLAN! Make sure you explicitly teach the procedures of each station. You can use the ESL Curriculum Guide and/or your own guide to determine the stations. “I’m Done!” When I first started teaching students screamed those words all day. I really had to take a deep look at what I was doing in my classroom. I discovered that the content I was providing some of my newcomers was simply too easy. If the students can complete an activity in 5 minutes, the activity is not rigorous enough for their levels. How did I solve this problem? I planned for three different levels of ELLs. Now the words “I’m Done” are nonexistent in my classroom. When creating your classroom content make the lessons concrete and tangible. To make lessons tangible and concrete include visuals, videos, manipulatives, and field trips. For example, you are teaching about classrooms around the world. To make the lesson concrete for your newcomers you can include videos and pictures of classrooms around the world. Engaging content is so important in a classroom. Take a survey of what the students are interested in, and include some of the topics they love. Finally, stay consistent in your classroom. Consistency speaks so loudly with students. Also, if something is not working don’t be afraid to say this is not working and change it up! If you need help in planning your lessons, DOWNLOAD THE ESL CURRICULUM GUIDE! I would love to hear about how you are teaching newcomers in your classroom. Leave a comment below with your tips and questions.
