In this special Halloween episode, Ben takes us Into the Megadungeon to interview Miranda Elkins about her Nightwick Abbey campaign--a dungeon literally possessed by a demon. They talk about the secrets of successful restocking, the importance of theme, and how to use geomorphs to craft your dungeon map. They also talk about how to run a horror themed dungeon by externalizing psychology and making metaphor literal.

For access to the full geomorphs for levels 1-3 of Nightwick Abbey, and much more, visit the In Places Deep Patreon here.

You can find more extensive reader's note, as always, on my substack, Missives from Beyond the Veil of Sleep here.

Music for the episode is "Sticks and Stones" by Samuel Peter Davies, and "The Horror Inside" by Eric Harper.
