I had two PC deaths in the 1st level, alone. :D<br /><br />You know, I think that it is the graph paper. I looked at those, saw the very crisp lines, saw a lovingly-drawn dungeon full of imagination, and it conjured-up some really positive gaming energy.<br /><br />Know that we are immensely enjoying your old creations. :)Timeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137072316042205607.post-14261432671715997042009-04-23T13:37:00.000-04:002009-04-23T13:37:00.000-04:00@Timeshadows: You're very welcome. :D

As I've mentioned before, I really only posted them as curiosities of nostalgia - I hadn't expected anybody to actually make use of them.<br /><br />So, wait... your PC's exited the dungeon and left Drakon to continue his nefarious deeds? How very mercenary of them. :PChristopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368794259249607299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137072316042205607.post-26262916902138406202009-04-23T12:30:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:30:00.000-04:00I'll confess to using your three-map 'waterfall' c...I'll confess to using your three-map 'waterfall' complex -- the PCs only explored the first level, and then the island they were on decided to rejoin the mainland so they cut-short their expedition.<br /><br />I loved the bizarre layout of that one, and I learn a lot from looking at these others you've posted.<br /><br />Thanks! :DTimeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137072316042205607.post-18431550440203443152009-04-22T11:45:00.000-04:002009-04-22T11:45:00.000-04:00@Rodrigo: Thank you! :D@Rodrigo: Thank you! :DChristopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368794259249607299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137072316042205607.post-66545895902865108332009-04-22T11:28:00.000-04:002009-04-22T11:28:00.000-04:00CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Many of them have made return appearances, so to speak.<br /><br />@Brunomac: I've discarded a lot of baggage over the years, but I could never come to dispose of any of my gaming notes, maps, etc. This, of course, makes moving a bit of a bear - what with all the heavy boxes full of folders, binders, and notebooks. Every time I move, I find myself wondering if I shouldn't have taken up stamp collecting as a hobby instead of gaming. :P<br /><br />@Superhero Necromancer & lokipan: Thanks! :D<br /><br />@Lord Kilgore: I didn't do anything special when scanning these - they were scanned using (I believe) the default settings of my Epson 3-in-1.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368794259249607299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137072316042205607.post-49753473846529047952009-04-21T11:00:00.000-04:002009-04-21T11:00:00.000-04:00Very nice!

A couple of years ago I dragged out the couple of dozen books. At that point I was thinking I might be done with gaming, and tossed out most of the notebooks, keeping only a coupe that had important world info in case I ran again.<br /><br />So many of my old dungeons and locations will need to be redone if they are revisited in my current campaign. The players are on their way to an old dungeon of mine, but in redoing it I can consider it a bit of a retcon.Kevin Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122665488285424578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137072316042205607.post-38450673520453951672009-04-20T12:38:00.000-04:002009-04-20T12:38:00.000-04:00One of the great things about old dungeon maps is ...One of the great things about old dungeon maps is that they can be reused regardless of which D&D system you're playing now. I never throw out or destroy any of my maps. Most were labours of love and I can't bring myself to part with them. Half the fun is populating the dungeon with monster and treasure. An old map lets you revisit a previous campaign idea and make it new again. What's even better is if your players recognize the map. It will give them a false sense of confidence because they "know" that the next two rooms are completely empty.Ameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16166477531172343174noreply@blogger.com
