I prefer a number of dungeons rather than just one.

It's good business. It's a bit dangerous if no adventurers turn up to feed the monsters, but no risk, no reward.

looks like shit, what game?

Anon09/17/25, 17:17No.3845807

okay, its a good start, now lets take stock, what are the services in the town? weapon shop, magic shop, repair man, and sleep place?okay, now, fuse repair shop and weapon shop into one, now lets make two weapon shop dudes, one magic shop dude, and hide them in the dungeon, and let's put an upgradable copy of the sleep place where ever there's a tough challenge coming up, also in the dungeon.now get rid of the town. yep. gone. start the player in the dungeon.

For me, it's when the dungeon serves as a nexus to access multiple worlds/dimensions because it's the only thing that exists simultaneously on every plane. You get plenty of exits but taking them would probably be a recipe for an existential crisis

Yes, but only if the dev remembers to tell players Contra Dextra Avenue.

Anon09/22/25, 03:59No.3848107

ok but how do you return to town without making it tedious or immersion breaking?

etrian odyssey :D

Which RPGs that are not Dungeon crawlers even follow this formula?

Anon10/04/25, 14:59No.3853756

Any games with the sense of despair and danger as in Fear & Hunger? Doesn't have to be edgy.

Anon10/04/25, 15:08No.3853761

I can't draw, but imagine the giant underground dungeon but with no surface entrance. Instead there are a dozen mini dungeons that all connect to the megadungeon somehow.

Anon10/11/25, 09:20No.3857250

I actually hate this usually. You're cutting out the frigging adventure!!!

Anon10/14/25, 06:04No.3858377

>use the resources of the dungeons to build the towns Woah

Anon10/14/25, 09:11No.3858422

I don't really like single town RPGs cause I like finding new places. The last story really cemented that for me. Going back to the same town over and over again just isn't exciting for me.
