Grey Halls has basics to be reskinned several times. the undead arise every 100 years but bandits, humanoids and cultists. There are periods where no one faction is in control. A few months after clearing the place out you might find it like this.

This is a reskin during such a period

I could do a goblinoid era one or a bandit one

  1. SO cool. Yeah, a Goblinoid re-skin would be very useful for all manner of low level dungeon delving. I can see this being an incredibly useful dungeon for teaching D&D to novice gamers. As always- you're awesome sir.

    1. Cool sounds like a goer or perhaps the goblins were peaceful and running a marked and gardening and painting and eating babies.....till other factions got them.

      Then bandits and then frog men. Perhaps more feral ghoul one where they feed off the zombies. Necromancy apprentices vs undead cult + undead...that one year where carrion crawlers bred out of control...
