What IS the dungeon23?

“Megadungeon for 2023. 12 levels. 365 rooms. One room a day. Keep it all in a journal.” Sean McCoy

It doesn’t have to be a mega-dungeon, folks are also using City23, Facility23, Horror23, Island23 etc

I had done something similar the other day, and I see some overlap, but yours if far better organized.  Loot links as you see fit.  Thalian Musings: Gathering Resources for #Dungeon23

The Dragonsfoot forums have lots of discussion, which may see a resurgence with #Dungeon23.  Megadungeons - Dragonsfoot
