Dungeon23 Diary
#Dungeon23 is a writing challenge in which you make one room of a dungeon every day for the year of 2023. At the end of the year you’ll have 365 rooms, spread out over 12 levels for your very own mega-dungeon.
This blog will be updated every day with a new room and a personal diary entry. I want to infuse the dungeon with these memories, so that certain rooms will remind me of moments from my life every time I play it.
Enjoy!
