Look. I'm not saying anyone is required to read books with female main characters or female points or view. I am not going to break into your house and replace everything you own with books about women.

But I am saying that, if you find yourself reluctant to read about women, or disinterested in reading about women, or reading almost exclusively about men, you should take a good hard look at why.

Our preferences don't exist in a vacuum. There is no culturally-neutral reason to find women boring or uninteresting or shallow or just not as good.

And if you end up being comfortable with your own dislike of female characters, then probably nothing else that I say will change your mind.

It’s okay if you can’t talk about what happened to you.

Your healing isn’t on hold just because you’re not ready to tell the story out loud.

You can still process, cope, and move forward in your own ways.

Your truth is still valid in silence.

Problem with making sci fi dungeons is coming up with places that aren't just military tech bases, research facilities, mines or abandoned space stations.

I have the entirety of modern life to pull from and I come up blank somehow.

[swishysword]

fair, though let me make unsolicited suggestions anyways in case it helps:

A highspeed railcar, ideally big enough for freight so that you can make "walls" from various crates and scatter interesting/useful stuff around them. At some point either coming across a locked or barricaded door and having to crawl out and deal with the rushing wind and timed hazards like signs and tunnels.

The surface of a dyson sphere, preferably still under construction, so you can have a mixture of purposeful design, open areas exposed to the sun, control rooms to manage energy or maybe even move platforms around for passage.

The interior of a luxury space cruise, with the added benefit of being able to make some wild themed rooms on the justification of "it's rich people being excessive, again".

Future library, with increasingly bizarre security systems for the seemingly endless parade of even more restricted sections.

A cathedral for some future sci-fi religion. Themed statues that shoot lasers from their eyes, stained-glass that turn into thousands of coloured drones, and you get to reuse any of your greatest hits from your local fantasy campaign but refluffed as robot-slash-art-slash-security system.

@five-by-five I'm adding your additions here because I think they are fucking awesome.

Anyone is completely free to add their sci-fi/space opera dungeon ideas here.

[nekoprankster218]

Thought of this while reading but: (this is all one idea, each point is just a different layer to it)

Large skyscrapers with dozens, maybe a hundred different floors

Most likely office buildings of mega-corps who can not only afford to build such buildings but also require all that space

Maybe evacuated due to a threat the party is responding to, either externally or even something caused internally, like mega-corps messing with shit they shouldn’t have

Maybe even completely abandoned due to messing with shit they shouldn’t have, and now the threat is getting ready to leave the quarantined building unless the party can stop it

Or the building is completely occupied and the goal of the mission is infiltration and stealth, stealthily going by security checks and convincing all the tired, burned out office workers you’re supposed to be there, trying to reach one of the uppermost floors avoiding as much conflict as you can

[swishysword]

I'm all for turning this into modern/sci-fi dungeon megapost hours here

A dam, churning as water passes through and filled with complex machinery to keep things working. With a variant for it being after some environmental change that drained the reservoir and now the dam is the only passage across a chasm, with the party needing to adjust the now-defunt mechanisms so they can pass through.

A hab dome in some extreme environment, an abandoned colony that only just got started. Not unlike some of the other suggestions but a bit more "open" at the costs of the risk of environmental hazards.

Adjacent to the "military tech base" thing is, of course, a spaceship. Presumably with the party launching an attack on it from a boarding vessel at some point. Mix it up by having the ship they're attacking currently docked with another ship, exchanging supplies or personnel, so now you've got two potential dungeons ships to traverse through. Maybe one is transporting cargo and has lesser security, so you board that one so you can cross over to the higher security one.

Fancy space McMansion, with a courtyard (complete with hedge maze), a fancy pool (that's also a weird underwater course or boat racing rally because this is the future wealthy), the mansion interior with Resident Evil style puzzles, and of course the bunker holding all the valuables/target for assassination/hidden intel.

A place struck by a timestorm, so you have a bunch of different zone of the "same dungeon" that flickers into different things. Sometimes it's underconstruction, sometimes it's a military base, sometimes it's a club from a city in another era, and sometimes the planet is undergoing an invasion. All instances of the same timestorm across the ages, existing simultaneously, and you have elements from one zone spilling into the next so you have an eclectic mix of challenges, but also the potential to find something that doesn't exist in your time.

[swishysword]

Sorry I'm in the mood to add more:

Rich person's menagerie. While I'm not particularly a fan of killing a bunch of endangered space animals, you can have a bit of characterization mixed in where it's not really endangered animals but rather whatever the owner thinks is "cool" which just so happen to be encounter appropriate enemies. Rooms themed around their natural environments (rooms clearly too small and thus adding to the agitation, rooms that are big for the owner's "favorites"), corridors between exhibits with patrolling guard bots, maintenance tunnels. Lends itself to puzzle interactions (don't make eye contact with the space gorilla and you can pass through the room), and environmental interactions (guards in the way? push them into the eel pit). Can be there to rescue one of the animals, or it's a route into one of the other dungeons suggested.

"The Collector" aka, some person's fiercely guarded vault or spaceship full of art, jealously guarded by the finest security they could get their hands on. Maybe some of the art itself is dangerous: "This pillar is made out of more Psycite than seven systems naturally produce. The artist tuned all of it to express the pure psychic wave length of pain as a means of invoking a sense of universal emotion between all species... also save or be staggered from feeling like all your nerves are on fire when you're in the room." Naturally you could be there to steal one of the pieces, or it could just be a side hobby of your villain.

[gamecubefan]

how about one of those giant data center complexes that houses all the servers for ChatGPT or Bitcoin or something? they use insane amounts of water and energy to keep running, so it could also have like, an external area with solar/hydro power machines? but inside it's just a mostly empty vault of row upon row of server towers?

My thought for Numenera’s Ninth World setting was an automated ferry terminal from a previous civilisation, because I was inspired by the ‘Gateway’ novel by Frederick Pohl. Basically the idea is that you find an abandoned transport hub containing a number of pre-programmed ships/trains/shuttles/whatever you like, so that once you’ve explored and investigated the facility itself, you then have the option to potentially get in one of these vehicles, turn it on, and roll the dice that its pre-programmed route is going to bring you somewhere interesting and/or survivable. If its something like a rail or subway system, you also have the option of manually exploring the connected tunnels as well. A fun way to chain dungeons together, the first one linking out to others. Depending on the size of the vessels in the hub, like the ships in the ferry terminal example, or space ships if you found, say, an asteroid deployment base or something, they might also function as their own little mini-dungeons as well.

For science fiction in general, absolutely anything that’s been automated and then abandoned. Factories, supermarkets, theme parks, hospitals, literally anything. Because the thing with something that’s automated and running on remorseless, unchangeable programming, is that even if it’s the most harmless thing in the world, if you don’t know the procedures, then you’re stepping inside a massive operating machine with no knowledge of how to traverse it safely. Like, you’d think no one would make an automatic supermarket that would kill you, but then maybe they just never expected someone to try to use it without what they considered the absolute base-level know-how for someone in their society, such as, for example, the ability to read their language, or the knowledge that their tech is voice-activated, or the cultural understanding that payment comes first, or the ability to recognise the visual indicators for an emergency stop. Everyone’s had the experience of trying to navigate the most obstinate automated menu. That, but physical, and possibly in an alien language, and possibly arranged in such a way that if you push the wrong buttons, grievous bodily harm can result. Lots of modern industrial set-ups have ways to do hideous damage to you, because they assume that if you’re going to be operating outside its usual parameters that you know the procedures to turn things off to do so safely. But if you’re say, 200 years late to the party, don’t read the language, and possibly didn’t even know you were in a machine in the first place, well …

And that’s leaving aside the idea that the programming has decayed or run into other issues while operating for an extended amount of time unmanned. I’m not even talking about AI here, I’m talking about a machine that’s been running dry for 80 years because no one was putting materials in but no one turned it off either, and now its dangerously close to exploding and one wrong sneeze in its vicinity will do very bad things to a significant chunk of the surrounding landscape. The final boss of this dungeon is the dangerously overheating stationary behemoth on the lowest floor that the players have to disable without blowing the whole dungeon sky-high in the process.

"If my book is not perfect then-"

Then what? People will actually discuss it? fill your plotholes with fanfiction and headcanons?

People dont care about perfection. perfection is boring. if your story is perfect people will forget about it. its how we are wired. we remember the strange, the weird and all things left open.

Perfection isnt the goal, interesting is

what a beautiful feeling it is to finally get over someone and realize that it was your adoration of them that made them so special. without that, they’re quite basic. just proof that the magic lives in you, not them.
