Everybody has is own Balrog.
There's a delightful children's book somewhere in that idea. Perhaps with a dark ending.

The moment you close the book, it burns in flames.
Or the reader falls down a bridge, depending on the edition.

What happened with your Moria campaign?
I got mired in creating a subsystem for exploring underground TotT-style, without mapping it out. Went through about 8 versions of it, some of which I posted here.
Version 9 is going to be awesome. Really.
What is TotT-style? Googling that term gives me Zelda and Harvest Moon references.

Sorry, but I'm still confuzzled. Google gives me "time of the month"?

This. Sorry. In other words, being able to imagine journeying through an underground maze of passages and rooms and tunnels and caverns, without actually drawing it out on a piece of paper.

D'oh! I should have known that one. I think I've been stumped by that one before, too.

Also, I don't mean simply "imagining" it but also experiencing, through simple TOR-like mechanics, all the dangers and fears of underground travel: getting lost, backtracking, running out of torches, getting separated, leaping dreadful gaps, etc.
