This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Finished Stonehell!

After more than 7 years, umpteen players, lots of dead PCs... Last night two level 20+ PCs loaded up with sci fi megatech from the Astronaut's Tomb killed the Nixthisis at the bottom of the dungeon. End of an era. 😄

Congrats!  It seems like most of the time with long dungeons the player group ends before the dungeon does.  That's a long time to be doing one thing.  Do you have a plan for what's next?

I did a bunch of other stuff while it was running, several other campaigns, eg Barrowmaze took 2.5 years. My son did play through the
Whole thing, he was 9 or 10 when we started! His first PC went 1-8 then died, his second went from 5th to 20+ (he informs me he is technically 31st level) 😄 and completed the dungeon.

Right now I'm running some episodic Shadowdark games, playing in a 5e game, and wikl be playing in a new urban Shadowdark game soon.

Got some details at the above link. Extreme player caution plus OP characters led to a swift smack down of the Nixthisis.

Cool; we've played in a bunch of the megadungeons, but never "finished" any unless you count Temple of Elemental Evil back when I was in high school in the 1980s.  But I'm still hoping we'll do it one day; just need to find the right group and enough time, neither of which is easy.

Congratulations, upon reaching such a milestone of dedication.

Getting people to show up and play for enough sessions to complete that, is significantly noteworthy. 

We live in the age of one shots.  Maybe, if you're lucky; 2 or 3 sessions, before some complication arises.  People are so easily distracted, and difficult to get commitments from.

I always ran it open table, although I was lucky enough to have two very dedicated players the past three years.
