Dungeon Process: Slime Baroness and the Lady of Unterbranch Keep (Part 6 - Revisions and Final Layout)

This is the sixth and final (long-delayed) post in my series documenting my full dungeon-writing process. I have had a lot of fun writing the Slime Baroness and the Lady of Unterbranch Keep, and I hope my intentional reflection has been as insightful to read as it has been to write. 

Check out all the all the other posts in the series here.

Revisions

Checklist for my final pass:

  • Spell check and proofing
  • Check treasure values and locations
  • Finalize maps (page numbers & room highlighting)
  • Add page numbers to all room references
  • Print test (B&W and colour)


Final Layout

Now that all content has been finalized and proofed, I could go back and update the maps with highlighting and page numbers. This was very satisfying to finally see come together. With 60 rooms, I'm almost certain I've probably made an error in there somewhere that I won't catch until I run the dungeon. 


Reflections

This process of intentional dungeon design and documenting my thoughts along the way has been very fun—and enlightening.
