Project Spotlight: Never Ending Dungeon from SpellArena
Added 2021-08-12 10:00:00 +0000 UTCProject link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/never-ending-dungeon/never-ending-dungeon
You may remember those creative guys from our Chapter 10 Battlemap Collab. They've asked me to show you their new project, and I'm totally on board, as it's something super usable!
Spellarena collective has been creating maps for RPG games since 2019. They gained their first fans on Patreon - those supporting their creation appreciated the amazing quality of maps, tokens, tokens or characters of heroes and monsters.
Now they venture into Kickstarter to provide something truly outstanding!
Let me pass the mic over to them:
WHAT IS NEVER ENDING DUNGEON?
Never Ending Dungeon is a hybrid tool (printed maps and software) for creating adventures for both players and DMs. You can start the fun by using the adventures you find in the app, or you can create infinite number by your own.
Never Ending Dungeon allows you to play with pre-made maps and scenarios or create your own vast maps containing hundreds of traps, monsters, or treasures. You can play in the same room (good, old times!) with your friends using printed maps or export to your favorite virtual tabletop software (like Foundry VTT or Roll20) and play remotely.
More importantly – everything you create is saved and available on the spot. You don't have to spend hours drawing maps or creating monsters or NPC stats! If you wish, you can also can play without a Game Master in “solo” mode by developing your character and advancing to higher levels.
Forget carrying around huge sheets of map paper and folders of notes from your last session! From now on all you need is a small box with our maps and installed software on your laptop (PC / Mac). A huge and long campaign or a one-shot? It doesn't matter - our tool will help you create and visualize campaigns of any size!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Create an account and download Never Ending Dungeon software to your laptop. Choose the option of a randomly generated map or create your own adventure using prepared elements (monsters, treasure, ready-made map parts, etc.). You can also play without a Game Master - just choose the "solo" option! As well as the app, you get a manual, many maps, and supplements which will help you to prepare and run a great gaming session.
Each session in the app is saved - If your party goes deep into the maze, on their way back they will see and encounter exactly the same things they passed - monsters killed (or those that escaped and have now returned), treasures (that were not taken), traps set (or those still lurking for the daredevils) and at the end of the game it will summarize the adventure and offer experience points to be allocated.
You can play remotely or meet up with friends - you can use one of popular VTT or play together at the same table. You will be helped by our printed, portable maps, which you get in a beautiful box. The maps are designed so that you can create a grand, epic adventure out of them no matter how many doors, corridors, rooms or stairs they have!
NEVER ENDING DUNGEON BASIC FEATURES
Build your world - You can also design your own world! The app allows you to create rooms, dungeons, labyrinths - you name it! Populate them with monsters and hide traps and treasures on the map. The save it all, launch on your next session and surprise your players!
Solo Adventure – No adventuring party or GM nearby? Play alone. Our app will create a unique scenario just for you!
Dungeon Crawler Survival Mode - In this option, the application will ask you to enter the basic spec of your players' characters (class, level, number of hit points, damage output, etc.) after which it will create an infinite number of new rooms, mazes, or dungeons. If you find yourself wanting to spend months or years exploring - this is the app for you!
Marketplace - We do not consider ourselves to be the best players or Game Masters. But we believe that the more creative people are, the more brilliant ideas will be. We would like you to create adventures, maps, tiles, and all sorts of extras for other people using our app and publish them on our marketplace to earn yourself some money. There is nothing nicer than making money from something you love!

Thanks for the answers :)

They will create maps for different systems and settings as modern, horror, steampunk, fantasy, cthulu or cyberpunk. - Will the future game systems implemented be free or pay-to-play? Definitely paid. We are considering a one-time payment for either a license or a subscription. - What are the differences between NED and Foundry? NED is not a VTT platform. Mapping is only one of the features. The main reason players and game masters choose NED is to create adventures, entire campaigns, support the process of visualizing maps (3D animated!), placing traps, loot, monsters on them along with the ability to link gameplay to physical maps.

2021-08-12 10:26:16 +0000 UTCI'll forward your questions to the creators and get back to you!
2021-08-12 10:19:19 +0000 UTCI was curious about their project but for what I saw is only Fantasy and D&D5ed system. I have few questions: - Are there also modern maps/tiles/assets? I try to find them but very few around. - Will the future game systems implemented be free or pay-to-play? - What are the differences between NED and Foundry? They seems to be almost the same thing. I got foundry few days ago, quite new to VTT so I wonder if i could use NED to make maps faster than Foundry for different settings. Thanks for your answers in advance.
