| Jan 18, 2017 at 15:45 | comment | added | John | You might get a kick out of the series Dungeon Meshi which splits its time between how to cook monsters and how to build a stable dungeon ecosystem. separating levels is often done by strong monsters (like floor bosses) natural barriers like water levels, and forests of carnivorous plants. | |

| Jun 27, 2016 at 7:04 | comment | added | King of Snakes | @Kevin It doesn't really vary that much, I don't want a description of why each and every monster doesn't leave the dungeon, a general answer like the one given by Murphy practically every (magical) dungeon one can think of. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 6:36 | comment | added | Kevin | This seems to me like the answer is going to vary greatly from setting to setting and project to project. Instead of assuming you want a typical dungeon and trying to build your setting around that, why don't you build your setting, then find justifications for typical tropes and be willing to discard or rework tropes that don't fit the setting? As a bonus, your reworking of tropes will give your project some unique mechanics and flair. | |

| Jun 25, 2016 at 3:00 | comment | added | King of Snakes | @theinvisibleduck Well I am learning coding, but Im not at the level to create entire MMO's :) I was just curious, so I asked. This is good idea tho | |
| Jun 24, 2016 at 17:03 | comment | added | theinvisibleduck | This all makes me hope that you are a game designer building a MMO. It would be cool to have the creatures migrate in from other locations after a dungeon is cleared, so you arent killing the same character over and over again, but a new one that became great because it lives next to a mana pool, and that threatens its minions into getting it food from the outside,(and they threaten the next floor up and so on and so forth, an evil version of the poop rolls down hill) and sets up a new creative access sequence every time. | |

| Jun 24, 2016 at 12:26 | comment | added | Anonymous | Was the "dungeon" deliberately created (e.g. made by a wizard filled with treasure to lure monsters for spell components, made by an evil overlord or dungeon keeper for nefarious purposes, is actually a gigantic living entity that lures adventurers, etc) or it is the ruin of an ancient civilization with monsters squatting on it and various security systems to keep out intruders? | |

| Jun 24, 2016 at 10:49 | comment | added | King of Snakes | A typical world with dungeons for me is magical, so yes its magical. | |
| Jun 24, 2016 at 10:45 | comment | added | Murphy | Magical world or non-magical? | |
| Jun 24, 2016 at 10:35 | comment | added | Separatrix | My answer to the linked question about population applies to this as well, it's all about why it's a dungeon | |
