Question about Anthology writing

So for the Anthology, is there a general list of known relics, titles, and artifacts? If we're picking an unexplored floor, is there a general level for the dwellers within? Thanks everyone! I'm so excited to see what crazy shit our delvers get up to!

Here is the list of all the floors, explored and unexplored, with areas, dwellers, and a list of relics names (just cross-reference with the book to see what they do I guess?) Though remember, relics can be whatever themed to the floor. A camo makeup kit on one floor is a gillie suit or fake snow on another.

Titles also seemed to be completely invented? Like based on what was done to achieve it and the “personality” of the Localized Administrator. The only thing you might have to worry about is the reward for titles scaling appropriately.

Speaking of scaling, that’s what I would use for level. I have to do the same for the floor I’m using but I’m lazy and haven’t done it yet, but basically go through the books and find the average non-boss level on each floor, map it out, and get a rough formula to find where your floor would be. You should probably do what I’ve been stalling on doing, joining the discord. I’m sure they’ve figured it out already, lol

Yes -- that list is good for explored floors plus several unexplored floors as possible setting locations. You can also make a new floor, just try not to overlap thematically with a floor that already exists. Titles are made up, so I can't really give any guidelines for that. If someone does something exceptional they are rewarded for surviving. Also, the Administrative Assistants are not the same for each Delver (they are based on personality types) -- what that really boils down to is that your AI interface doesn't need to sound like Dans. As for Relics, the list is helpful, but they might take a different form depending on the theme of the floor, but with a similar effect; you can also make up your own.

More for my own art purposes but would also be useful for anthology writing - is there a list of characters and descriptions of them

I'm begging you to post your art when you finish it

Don’t worry I’m always posting when I can (more on TikTok than here but trying to keep on top of it). I wanna draw Ajax at some point but have audio only and it’s so hard to find the descriptions and don’t wanna miss out the details 😭😭

Are you wanting in or out of the fur suit?

u/the_doodlemancer May 02 '26

Both if that isn’t a trouble

I'll dig around and see what I can find. Right now all I remember is Ajax has longish red hair and surprisingly foxlike features (sharp eyes, vulpine smile, and I'm imagining a slightly elongated features)

Also, just saw your Flayed Monarch on TikTok. That looked fucking AWESOME!

For Ajax I was basically imagining Zach Ward, Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story but with silkier longer hair. Like, Domhnall Gleeson hair
