But now that he was actually here, he didn’t know what could have possibly possessed him to volunteer for the dungeon. Even the foresight of the treasures to be found here, which had been the main reason to descent those stairs, crumpled into a minor weight faced with the masses of hardships he had been through. He had heard the rumors of what happened to the six before him, casually casting them aside like the idle chatter he thought them to be....

When I kicked in the door of the monster zoo, I was somewhat relieved. I was playing a mostly melee character with two health pots on my belt and, most importantly, the zoo was half the size that had just done in my housemate. I began battle with a bolt of mass destruction, somehow not dying myself in the ensuing explosion (is this even possible?). Things went well as I slowly retreated towards narrower corridors...

Hello all, I'm OldNile, I've only recently joined the forums. I have a couple of DoD-related drawings, so I thought why not share it with you all. I decided to have a go at adapting some of the creatures to my own drawing style, thus became these two pictures of a Diggle, a Gnome and a Blobby. And a cheese round.

During my huge August road trip, there was a 24-hour period in which I was able to visit Wall Drug, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil's Tower, and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. That was the best day of the year. The second best was the first time this year that I went into Canada, also on my August road trip. We went to Sault St. Marie (aka Ontario's Italy), where my son Giovanni got to eat his birthday dinner at Giovanni's Restaurant, which was the capstone to an amazing...

I have a confession to make. Writers really write stories so we can write forwards. If we could make money just by writing forwards to other people's books and nothing else, I think we'd do it. I know I would. Its fast, easy and intensely ego gratifying. So I'd like to take a moment and say thanks to everyone who reads this. I really appreciate it.

So why is this the end of the Dredmor novellas?...

Dungeon crawl so hard arch diggles start to mind me
First diggles gotta mine me
What's a pretty snout to some eyebrows like these
Can they please define me?
Crawl so hard, this pit crazy
Y'all don't know but those glyphs phase me
The stairs could go crypt to moonbase and I look back up like this map hazy
Crawl so hard, this pit feared

He’s spending all his time trying to research a spell to open doors, but alas, spells cannot effect doors. And none of the monsters he summons into his dungeon to help him out can, either.
Why can’t he or any of the monsters open doors?

Well, long ago, the diggle Archarchmages (the secret leaders of the secret leaders of the secret leaders of diggle society) sought ULTIMATE POWER. So they tried to dig all the way to diggle paradise, which was, of course, at the...
