Would a DND Campaign that's entirely set within a vast and diverse dungeon (made in abyss style) work?

No.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Can you repeat the question?
Thread should have ended here.
Yes.
Yes
Bnuuy!
DND isn't really made for things like dungeons.

“Dungeons” is literally half the name! Are you honestly saying it can’t do one of the 2 things that’s printed right on the tin?
How do Dragons fit into Dungeons?
Sprites are all the same size on the map screen.
No, but one set in a vast and diverse dungeon (Dungeon Meshi style) would work
>would x work
*sigh* I don't know anon, can you make it work?
if you can then yes, if you can't then not.
ask your players if they'd even be interested you nogame
Yes, just don't be a shit GM.
Dungeon crawls are where D&D works best, so doing that all the time should work very well.
Meikyuu Kingdom makes it work
D&D
work
Absolutely not.
I tried this, each "floor" was a portal to a different universe, and the party had to figure out how to open each floor's portal before moving on.
It was fun, but a bit railroady for the players. but some players like being railroaded.
It's called a megadungeon and it's a concept that is older than you are.
LOL why do you think it's called DUNGEONS&Dragons?
Just make sure you play AD&D (1e) or B/X.
I did a short PF1 campaign back in the day where the party got hired to inspect if a wizard's bottomless pit was indeed bottomless.
It was alright, probably would do it better now after watching Made in Abyss.
Environmental effects was something I didn't see MiA use too much. Fog, falling water, smoke or rushing wind can get really mean when you're scaling down.
That is literally Castle Greyhawk, so yes.
Repeated trips from civilization to a (gigantic) megadungeon absolutely works, it's how the game started after all.
Actually living inside the dungeon for a long time is more challenging as a gamemaster - you need to have water, food, light sources, some places to rest etc. that look natural inside the dungeon.
that is literally how the game was first played. WestMarches MegaDungeon, IRL days = in game days.
You can 100% play the game for what it was originally designed, yes.
absolutely, get the campaign dungeon of the mad mage, if you want some inspiration.
there's a whole system centered around this play too called Heart: the city beneath
