Their rules regarding lockpicks are worth mentioning: Then there's a few standard rules regarding walls, doors and secret doors. Of the creatures the dungeon is made to imprison (poison for instance). Nothing bad here but it becomes especially ironic after you read into the dungeon since many of the traps you'll find would not work on They talk about justification for the sheer number of traps (to get around the immunities of the various entities that the dungeon was made to imprison). There's some discussion of things like the consequences of using artificial lights in the dungeon, how sounds apparently obey completely random rules and DMs are encouraged to use this as an excuse to arbitrarily screw players or justify the way it's possible to have a massive battle in one room without alerting anyone in adjacent areas. The intro states that the scale of the dungeon is 5x5 squares but then recommend changing it to 10 x 10 for some reason. On the other, it's one of the main advertising points of their 100$ book so and it becomes pretty clear that they didn't deliver 'quality' either and a lack of monster variety is actually one of the book's biggest problems. On the one hand I feel like it would be stupid to try and cram every single monster in the SRD in here and quality would be better than quantity. To quote them:įanatic completism took a back seat to making the dungeon fun and useful Just one of every 'category' (so they have a sphinx, but not every type of sphinx, they've got dragons but not every single color, etc). They also come out and admit that the they did not actually include every monster in the game. Considering that's the only reason that anyone would actually buy the product I find that pretty stupid. What is annoying is they come right out and say that they don't expect you to actually run the world's largest dungeon as one big dungeon. it's not like most dungeons (especially big ones) work out logistically. Next we have the 'Ecology' section where the writers basically say that there isn't going to be any sort of dungeon ecology that makes any sense (especially given that everyone is trapped inside the dungeon) and they're fine with that. There's no answer and the designers are pretty straightforward in saying that they didn't care about logic or reason when it came to designing the dungeon. Why, after disaster strikes, do the gods who ordered the place built not help the angelic jailers trapped inside the dungeon? Why imprison these things rather than killing them? Needless to say the biggest question is 'why?' Finally, derro cause a cave-in (apparently although the dungeon can contain demons, devils and undead it's not dwarf-proof), not only collapsing part of the dungeon but flooding it as well.

After that, there's another earthquake this one allows drow in, plus tearing a hole in the dungeon's ceiling.

First one earthquake rips the dungeon in half, letting in a river of magma, then derro come in and colonize it. The dungeon is an epic disaster of poor planning. So, the book starts with a fairly bland 'history' lesson about angelic beings from the heavens sent by the gods to build a dungeon to imprison evil.

So at least I'm accomplishing the noble goal of making the internet a bit more full of words. Fortunately I'm also attempting to do something constructive with that and I've been tinkering with the WLD and trying to rebuild it into something usable and posting the 'adjustments' on my blog. But that might help explain some slight bitterness I have towards the book.but bitterness that is well deserved. My gaming group at the time was supposed to chip in on it, but that never happened. Just a bit of context, I was one of those idiots who bought this book back when it was the most expensive RPG book printed. The World's Largest Intro posted by oriongates Original SA post
