I had to come up with an underground dungeon layout that could be used for an extensive run, featuring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A complex lab belonging to a mad scientist, with 3 distinct rooms (southern eye-shaped area)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remnants of an old civilization (mid-southern grey\/brown ruins)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mutated areas featuring a labyrinth-like layout and 3 distinct boss arenas (northern organic-like area)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea was to create a map that feels very organic and cell-like, as if it was mutating in real time, with the scientist lab being the eye that attracts the players&#8217; attention as they enter the dungeon. Each area was made to be unique and distinct in terms of shapes and colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The map&#8217;s grid is scaled to 5&#215;5 ft to allow for optimal campaign
