Hello, happy New Year!
As we start 2025, I have noticed that many people are spinning up dungeon-creation projects (Dungeon23 continues into its third year, and the Zungeon Manifesto has launched a Zungeon Jam). To help with this effort, I have teamed up with Warren at ICastLight to launch:
Designing Dungeons Course
Or, How to Kill a Party in 30 Rooms or Less

This course is a series of discussions, practical examples, and exercises designed to walk new Game Masters through the process of creating a new dungeon from scratch. The course provides a hands-on approach to the act of dungeon writing in an attempt to demystify the process. By following along, you’ll construct a dungeon for your players to explore.
If I didn't chunk the work into sections and release them incrementally, I'd never get it done. Therefore, I'm just launching with the first two chapters, with a goal of releasing a new chapter every week.
So, if you're interested in this, please give it a look and get in on the ground floor. Every week, you can follow along with me and Warren as we make our respective dungeons.
If you find this helpful, let me know what you create with it!
