Yes, and with a little dedication you too can be a winner.

I would recommend that before playing in storm drains you got a good grounding in physical geography - things like overland flow, run off, catchment areas etc - you can have serve flooding when there isn't a cloud in the sky. They built the drain there for a purpose. The same goes for caves - its not a place to play. A friend of mine died caving thanks to a flash flood and she was an experienced caver (with a good physical geography background).

If you aren't worried about the weather then try and catch one of those disaster shows like the one with the crashed petrol tanker - there was fire spewing from the drains for blocks. People are always looking for quiet grids to dump vile things down.

A topic DG (and others?) has alluded to is that it can also be a pretty poisonous place and a good place to catch something unpleasant (I presume you are going to be eating and drinking in there). We've had some flooding around here and a woman she knows has had the environmental health in who have found E. coli in her basement - I'd hate to think what wonders live down there. Weil's disease is a particular favourite:

But, you know, have fun - your teenage years should be about staring Death in the face but bear in mind that he has near inifinite resources and you have one shot at this.

If you are going to play DnD there you could set up two other location, one in a park, and one in a house. Then when you are in the dungeons you go underground to play, the park if you are doing alot of woodlands type play, and in a house for city play. TA-DA instant atmosphere.


Hmmm... Might try that with a backyard/basement/livingroom combo at my house.
