This is a great concept, which makes me actually want to play 5E! I feel like the disconnect between the character optimization side of the game and the narrative realism side of the game always bugged me, and this is a really interesting take on it. I might even write my own speedrun dungeon.

My headcanon for this format: This dungeon is a highly realized dream simulation sustained by a team of oneiromancers who sleep in shifts (each oneiromancer can simulate floors equal to their level) at a famous adventuring academy sponsored by a wizard cabal. Clearing the dungeon solo is a necessary requirement for graduating with honors.

Just wanted to say these are awesome and thanks for making them! I’m currently running DCO and I’m sure my players will find these helpful to compare to the existing maps

Bought!

Also wondering this!

Running this module now and these handouts are awesome! Going to print them for tonight

Thanks so much for this! I’m so glad you chose Into the Odd as the system to pair with the Rainy City, and this will make me much more likely to run some sessions there.

This isn’t even out yet and billionaires are already LARPing it. Always a tastemaker our Amanda is.

Bumping this since I also noticed that and am wondering what that spell’s intended to do.

Yep, it’s just text encoded to binary, so pasting it in any binary to ascii decoder will suffice. Decoded, it’s the ritual for leaving the Vast, which is basically the inverse of the one for entering it. It was a bit tricky to copy the diagonal text block on mobile but I managed it. Here’s the plaintext:

Leaving the Vast

Seek the lush, the mended, and familiar

It is closer than you think

Search for the canny, the clear and benign

They are comforting to you

Hide this spot from your eyes, your hands and breath.

Leave it outside you

Shout so all may hear:

I wish to leave the vast in the dark

And fall forward with dread

You are home.

Just wanted to say this an immensely enjoyable read and I can’t wait to use it. Great job with this, and props for making the most of a really cool format. I feel like I could run it from my phone, which is not something I can say for most PDFs. Happy Holidays and thanks for the top notch megadungeon!

I'm printing this and including it with the copy of Fungi of the Far Realms that I'm gifting to my mycology professor.
