What are the absolute WORST dungeons ever commercially published? And why?
I'll start with Nightmare Maze of Jigresh, published by Judges Guild for Empire of the Petal Throne. I mean, just look at this shit:
That's not an amoeba, that's the map. The accompanying text isn't too bad, but why would.you ever subject your players (or yourself) to such a map? How much fun could countless hours of pointless, repetitive movement and mapping be? With a scale that seems to indicate that the party will need to be in a single file line for, say, 98% of the adventure? And a Wandering Monster table with 6 one-time encounters, so the marching through tight corridors will be broken up only by more marching through tight corridors?
Ah, who am I kidding? This thing sucks!
