We’re guessing 1000 steps per reasonably-completed run (more or less, doesn’t have to be exact) and guessing maybe 300 words per step, mostly ‘thought’. Where ‘thoughts’ can be relatively stream-of-consciousness once accustomed (we hope) and the dungeon run doesn’t have to be Hugo quality in its plotting, so it’s not like we’re asking for a 300,000-word edited novel.

The sample Nate linked is 30 pages and 12,267 words. So that works out to ~730 pages for a run.
$20,000/300,000 words = $1 per 15 words. If an author writing it manually could average 15 wpm, that would be $60/hour.
Sorry, I missed that somehow. Thanks.
