Editing Dungeon Survival Guide

'''The Dungeon Survival Guide''' is a quasi-[[splatbook]] released by [[Wizards of the Coast]] in 2007 for [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. It's a purely fluff-centric book, and is thusly technically edition-neutral, similarly to such splatbooks as [[Elminster's Forgotten Realms]], [[Grand History of the Realms]] or [[Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue]]. In practice, it uses [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] as its basis, most notably by having "in universe" flavored sidebars narrated by various 3e iconic characters.

This splatbook is an informative guideline to the concept of [[Dungeon]]s; it covers, in brief, the basic concept, essential gear for the would-be dungeon-delving [[adventurer]], a basic analysis of different dungeon environments, a summary of dungeon hazards (from [[monster]]s and [[trap]]s to other environmental nastiness), and the kinds of treasure that dungeon-delving can produce.

The bulk of the book is taken up with a list of various famous dungeons from throughout D&D's history up until that point, covering each of the following dungeons in brief with a couple of simple survival tips.

The basic idea for this book was taken and reworked in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] as the [[Dungeon Survival Handbook]], a splatbook aimed at actual players and Dungeon Masters rather than the "tie-in fiction/infotainment" splatbook we're discussing here.
