Sometimes, when Stocking a Dungeon Room or Corridor I find myself at a loss at what to do with an otherwise “unremarkable” area. Occasionally, I’ll decorate these with a little bit of harmless spelean flora or fungi, remarkably thriving somehow in those dank and dark locations. Usually, this is just for a bit of flavor, a way to distinguish this place from the next, but occasionally these have ended up serving as Welcome Waypoints or Lucky “Landmarks” in musty Mazes or other particularly perplexing Places. This is just one example of how that off-the-cuff “fluff” can end up becoming much more fictionally relevant for an attentive Player. However, one must always be wary that these decorative distractions do not consume too much precious Time or Resources.
Here are a Hundred Sample Specimens of these Peculiar Plants that one might find growing in those depths:
Could these be Edible or would they be like eating Grass(wont kill you but not very Nutritious)
ReplyDeleteSome could be! They're definitely part of the "Ecology" down there, but I'm not sure a top-sider would get much benefit out of most of them :)
