Dungeon Features FAQ

Questions about this table.

What is the difference between dungeon features and dungeon dressing?

Dungeon dressing covers small incidental details - a broken chair, a rusted lantern, cobwebs in a corner. Dungeon features are larger environmental elements that can affect movement, combat, or exploration: chasms, pools, collapsed sections, magical phenomena, or significant structural elements. Features shape gameplay; dressing shapes atmosphere.

How do I keep dungeon features from slowing down exploration?

Describe features as part of your initial room narration rather than as separate discoveries. Players will naturally latch onto the features that interest them. If a feature is purely atmospheric, one sentence is enough. Save detailed descriptions for features that reward investigation.
