Per The Alliterates website:
Dungeonaday.com describes Dragon’s Delve, a mysterious (mega-)dungeon of vast size, fascinating secrets, and great danger.
More details can be found at the original link, including monthly subscription fee. Though Monte states says he'll be using the 3.x system, he says Dungeonaday is rules-light enough to use other systems, new or old.
Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. I prefer my RPG products to spring up fully formed, as if from the brow of Zeus.
Didn't Monte say he was retiring from RPG stuff at one point?
Too bad that's going to be an ongoing campaign.
I am more interested in game supplements than scenarii.
But good luck to Monte.
I am so there.
Its going to let me do a improve dungeon delve, especially when my players go left when I thought they would go right.
Just think of some of the rooms you can steal from this site at 7 bucks a month that will be hard to beat

I followed the link, but it didn't say how many "pages" worth of content he would be providing per day/month. If it's one "Rappan Athuk Reloaded" per year, then you might be just as well off buying the .pdf of RAR for $50 instead of a year's worth of DAD for $84.
Except unlike reloaded, I have no input on the design, this is more like Open Design, and the regular price for reloaded was $74.99 as a pdf.

Good point about the design feedback. But I just noticed that RAR is only $30 in .pdf form now! Maybe I should grab it...
Monte Cook : RPG :: Jet Li : Martial Arts Film Genre
In more ways than one!
I've lost count of how many have come out since "Jet Li's Last Martial Arts Film."

Yes you should! RAR is very, very impressive.

Warning Thread Jack
For GM Days over at RPGNOW you can get the Burning Sky Adventure path for a dollar an adventure so thats 12 bucks
Back to the thread Cant wait till dungeonaday is open
(Drool...)
A sexy new-media model for RPG content? Consider my curiosity piqued. I like to hear that RPGtreprenuers are at least keeping up with the times, if not on the cutting edge of product and information delivery.

Any chance of you getting Mr. Cook on Atomic Array to talk about it? :-)

After commenting on this thread I sent the link to Ed, then called to see if he got it.
Ed said, "This is one of those things I couldn't tell you about over the last few months. I signed an NDA."
Aren't I always the last to know. ;)
Ed said he'd really like to have Monte on to talk about Dungeonday.com. I'd wait until a good month of content is out there first, but I think it's a great idea.
It is live and in colour as of this morning!

Charter Member here!
The site is AMAZING. There are tons of free stuff for people to preview the site, like the six first encounter areas, the maps of the first level, the blog and design... it's like spotting the surface of an immense iceberg!
I wonder what the future will bring on DaD.com, but it can only become greater from here on! This is SWEET.

The same thing happened to me. I didn't read the fine print. :-)
I am, however, a charter member of Dungeonaday. I'm happy I signed up.
Does he say whether he's going level by level (e.g. starting at level 1 and working down)? Is there a scheduled end in sight, or will it work up to CR 20 challenges and beyond?
(I'm sure those questions are answered somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look for the answers...)
I was wondering if it will be relesed in Print at some date.
Sorry, but I prefer books to screens.

I just signed up as a charter member!
I did get a few funny looks at work when I told people I was subscribing to a website, and when they asked what it was called and I said "Dungeon A Day", they wouldn't believe me that it wasn't an entirely different kind of website!

I'm really intrigued by this site. I'm really considering getting a charter subscription and of course, possibly running a PbP here... ;)
I think Monte Cooke is generally a safe name to follow when it comes to RPGs and the method and delivery is fairly unique. Also, at the price, it seems like you're getting a lot of content for your dollar, paying under $90 for a year's worth of content!
Are there any other subscribers here? Do you think it's worth the price so far (even though it's only been a day since it launched)?

Just tell them: "Don't worry -- it's fun for kids, too!" That will relieve all of their concerns.

Or get him on the pedo watch list
OK, I signed up as a charter member, and at the moment I'm mildly disappointed. I am a megadungeon addict, but this isn't really gripping me. The encounters so far seem rather bland, and there isn't much going on behind the scenes - yet.

I never thought I would say this... because I thought WotC 'planned' pricing was to much...
I think this is way to much..
Why would I pay for this when I can get complete adventures, a character builder and other stuff for less on WotCs DDI?..
Cool Idea.. Way overcharging.
Edit:
My Question is... What to I get out of this compared to DDI which I pay less for unless I am a Dungonaday charter subscriber, and then it is only $1 less a month?

Good question. First let me say that I cannot compare this to DDI since I refuse to give them any more of my money.
This is what you get so far... First, you get Monte Cook. Second you get Ed Bourelle. Honestly, if that is not enough for you then you're not the same kind of freak/fan I am.
For the more discriminating and or economically mindful there some other concrete benefits to checking it out. This is a massive, "decidedly old school" mega-dungeon complete with interesting encounters, great, professional art, and beautiful cartography. You also, get to see Monte's idea of a campaign. New spells, feats, magic items, and monsters. There is also a blog, podcasts, and a forum.
I liken this as an experiment similar to Wolfgang Baur's Open Design. Some of us spend >$150 to participate. All you get there is one adventure (not to under sell it, I think OD is worth that kind of money, too).
I'm not sure how public this information is, but when I signed up I got a 3 Day grace period - if I didn't like it I could get my money back. So far, I think $7 a month for what I'm seeing is absolutely worth it.

I am not that huge of a fan of monte cook... I think he is just ok...but I was not basing my opnion on Mr Cook, but what he offered compared to DDI.

Lets see... for $7.95 a month at DDI, I get all that except instead of a mega dungon I get individual small modules. Plus I get more!
I get a Character builder that updates as new books come out.. I get a Compendium that updates as new books come out, I get an encounter/monster builder, plus any other bonuses that come with Dungeon and Dragon magazines that are not described above..
Basiccly for the same monthly price for a year subscription I get much, Much more!!!
Dungeon a Day is a great idea, but i will stick to my opnion that it is over priced based on similar services, I am not going to get this based that I feel I am being overcharged.
A fairer price would be starting 8 for monthly and 6 monthly for a years subscription.

I've started to put this into TTopRPG with the hope of running it... you know, until something else grabs my attention next week when my copy of the Anubis Murders comes and a nice big box of new Tau miniatures... :D

Yeah I agree it could of been a little cheaper but the problem with DDI is that its for Forth Edition so for some of us its completly useless

Wolfgang Baur reviews Dungeon-A-Day.
I like how he says that DDI should be doing this.. DDI would be doing this if WOTC hadn't failed spectacularly to launch the virtual tabletop application.
