Storytelling mechanism
I've been thinking about good ways to deliver little snippets of lore. I think I'd like to see occasional friendly mobs you could encounter during your dungeon crawling. I think they'd go nicely in the side rooms with treasure boxes and no mobs. They could recite a line or two of story. That way, part of the random nature of dungeons would be randomly discovering more of the story.

There already are recon modules that tell a little bit of story.
(One that tells about jellies guarding grass, another that talks about a knight semi-taming a jelly with food)
Those are the only two I've seen, but I can see that being expanded to give a wider range of other knights explorations at different depths giving insight into the nature of the clockworks.
Bump for more snipes!
