Dungeon23 Challenge - Ancient Entrance
Feb 20, 2023
Sean McCoy, author of sci-fi rpg “Mothership” started a daily journalling challenge called Dungeon23. The idea is that you draw one 7-room dungeon each week and write the text of each room once a day. After a year, you have a 365 room megadungeon journal.
Within minutes of learning about this challenge, I pulled an empty Leuchtturm1917 dotted notebook off the shelp and got going. I’m starting a month and a half late, and I’ll likely be going a big quicker than one room a day as I catch up.
For me, this exercices will be an excuse to
- rehydrate some analog art skills after an entire pandemic of digital art.
- draw dungeon rooms that fit into various OSR games I’m researching, maybe I can explore my own style through inspiration from other artists and writer’s work?

First map, an ancient etnrance with some minis that could be encountered.
For the first week I went for my default style, a mix of top down Dyson Logos and isometric elements.

This will be spelling challenge as much as a writing challenge.
Let’s see where this goes.
