The Human Element

In this episode Ben takes us into the megadungeon to interview Josh McCrowell about his home campaign and his forthcoming megadungeon ruleset, HIs Majesty the Worm. They talk about how we can capture the human element of dungeoncrawling, and Josh gives some vital tips about how to prep megadungeons without getting overwhelmed. To find Josh's published work, including the draft of HIs Majesty the Worm, and especially Dungeon Seeds, his megadungeon creation toolkit and advice, go here.
