“Imagine this: a safe passage for endangered species like the short-eared owl and red-headed woodpecker, a private habitat for moose, deer and black bears, a commitment to conservation that honours the land’s history and secures its future.”

Helping a friend at a #storage #unit the other day, I had a revelation: indoor storage units are dungeons, in the #DnD sense. Long straight #corridors, all at right angles, neat units of distance, and #niches full of #treasure to either side.

Which makes me think it would be a lot of fun to run a game in a far-post-apocalyptic-#fantasy setting, preferably without the players knowing at first that’s what it is, where they are exploring a #dungeon which turns out to be a buried building. The niches all have cryptic symbols above them they can’t decipher, but which appear to be some kind of numbering system. When they pick or break the ancient locks, they find some niches have ancient treasures, while others contain incomprehensible #artifacts, and still others are full of plain junk.

The main danger on the upper levels comes not from #monsters, but from precariously piled heaps that fall down as the doors are opened. The players, of course, will perceive these as #traps.

A dungeon needs some monsters. Here they’re more numerous on the lower levels, in the form of #undead employees. The players will eventually discover that they venture forth from a chamber on the bottom level, known in the ancient tales as the “Manager’s Office.” The #Manager itself is the final boss fight.

Upon defeating the Manager and venturing out the door, they find that the lower levels of the building are surrounded by a vast #cavern, with an oddly flat floor and the ruins of a huge sign. The party sage puzzles out the ancient writing: PUBLIC STORAGE.

… I guess outdoor units are ruins, but anyone DMing that game needs to figure out how they’ve lasted that long. A #curse is a chillingly believable explanation.

Underground of Sandomierz, Poland (part 2 of 2)

After a few centuries, when Sandomierz’s position was no longer so strategic, the dungeons were forgotten. Unused and unsecured, they became the cause of construction disasters.

Scientists from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków rushed to the rescue of the Old Town. After the implementation of a special program, the area of a real multi-storey labyrinth of cellars and corridors was recovered. Some excavations had to be liquidated for structural reasons. The remaining sections were used to create the Underground Tourist Route. Its length is currently 470 m. The deepest excavations are at a depth of 12 m. There are 34 chambers along the route, each of which has its own name, which is a reference to the history of Sandomierz. Numerous corridors and chambers dug for centuries are associated with many Sandomierz mysteries and legends.

Underground of Sandomierz, Poland (part 1 of 2)

Medieval Sandomierz was located at the intersection of important trade routes, and local merchants monopolized trade intermediation. Needing more and more space to store various goods, they dug underground cellars in the soft loess ground under tenement houses and city squares. The deepest ones reached up to 15 meters! In this way, over the course of the 14th and 15th centuries, a whole labyrinth of warehouses and tunnels was created under the city.

According to one of the legends, the tunnels also contributed to the defense of the city against the invasion of the Tatars. Halina, the daughter of the castellan of Sandomierz, Piotr Krępa, lost all her relatives, including her father who was the commander of the garrison. During the next invasion, having also lost her husband, she decided, in consultation with the mayor Wiktor, to take revenge on the invaders. For this, she got into the enemy camp. There she told the chief that she had been disgraced by the inhabitants. She offered to lead the Tatars through secret underground corridors into the city.
Halina led them around the dark dungeons for a long time, when the inhabitants of Sandomierz, initiated into the deception, covered the entrance to the corridors with heavy boulders. All the Tatars died, and with them also the heroic girl.
