I was in my blog drafts this morning and found a post from 2016 that clearly was the beginning of the CASTLE AUTOMATIC project (later built out by #dungeon23 and then revised into a full megadungeon, coming soon!)

Look at the first scrap and compare it to the intro blurb of the completed one
A half-finished blog post citing influence from Eureka's Castle Long ago, in the confluence of history and mythology, a conquering giant declared himself the king of kings—the Emperor of the Wide World. He gathered to himself four treasures: a sword that could defeat any weapon, a coin that could pay for anything, a cup that granted immortality, and a wand that opened doors in thin air. In this time, it was widely considered that a certain dwarf named Taitale was the smartest person alive. The Emperor of the Wide World commissioned Taitale to build him a castle peopled entirely by mechanical golem guardians to hide these four treasures. It was called the Castle Automatic. Then, the Emperor placed Taitale in the Castle so that she would never tell anybody how to defeat its many traps and puzzles; a prisoner in a prison of her own creation. Attempting to free his mother, Taitale's son meddled with forces beyond his understanding, playing a discordant melody not meant for mortal minds. Vampiric spirits from the far realms rushed into the world, eager for their fill of blood. The Emperor was overthrown and the mechanisms that controlled the Castle Automatic were broken. For an age, the Castle Automatic has been lost in the Underworld. But now, its gates have been reopened…perhaps by His Majesty the Worm?

Found this idea originally back when it was #Dungeon23
Love to see that it has continued to carry over since then. It is a fantastic writing exercise, and gives any Game Referee good practice in creating new material for our Fantasy worlds.

My upcoming big dungeon, THE CASTLE AUTOMATIC, is the ultimate result of my efforts with #dungeon23. Has anyone else out there published their dungeon23 project?

ダンさんリクエストありがとうございました〜！

これは「治安悪顔」と「エセ執事」が流行っていた頃に作ったネタです。
ヒューベルトの「治安悪顔」が上手に描けなくて、お蔵入りしてました！今回が完全に初出です！

ヒューベルトのボツネタはいっぱいあるのですが、全部漫画だったので、我ながら驚きました…😳
私は多分、ヒュー君の顔面が…相当好きです…🤭

これもお蔵入りにした理由は「自分で描いたヒュー君の治安悪顔に納得できなかった」からだし…😆

Reposting for the weekday crowd. The Castle Automatic was a result of my efforts with the #Dungeon23 project!

Give me a room number, and I'll give you a teaser for the room's contents.

Made some back of the napkin sketches for my cartographer for the upcoming HIS MAJESTY THE WORM dungeon, and I think they're cute

It’s a setting I’ve been working on since Dungeon23. I decided to start with clearings/towns in a huge forest instead of dungeons. That spiraled seven into realms all connected by a massive black stone tower. Been working on the game around the same time.

Some creators truly challenge and push the limits of our hobby. I've been mesmerized by this, and now you will be, too.

The upcoming dungeon for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM is called The Castle Automatic. It was my Dungeon23 project that's had a year of playtesting to refine it.

My current came is mostly running on autopilot, so to keep myself off the streets at night I've started a Dungeon 23 project:
