I wonder if I could fit this and the Banaue Rice Terraces into the same vacation...
But after I see it in its natural beauty, is it so wrong to want to build a great city in it?

Definitely worth an Arcana Wiki entry. And not just because you could put drow cities in there. I think with a few suitable additions of monsters, hostile nations, and ancient artifacts, the initial survey by the British expedition might make for a great Call of Cthulhu one-shot scenario...

Aren't all Call of Cthulhu scenarios one-shots?!?

Gonna add that one to my list of Ultimate Gaming Locations. There's actually only three: the dining room in Casa Loma, the International Space Station, and now the cave in Vietnam.

Yes. Very Cool!
I also liked the links to other cave sites. That Cave of Crystals in Mexico looked very promising as a cool D&D site also (or just Superman's Fortress of Solitued).

There's another series of caves, but I'll have to pop in Planet Earth DVDs to find them. There is a cavern made almost entirely of crystal (or a crystal-like substance) and it's absolutely breathtaking. Closed to the public too so it can be preserved forever.
Parenthetically, photostat copies of the manuscript rules were made, and when the commercial game was published, fans not willing or financially unable to expend the princely sum of $10 for the product did likewise, copying the material on school (mainly college/university) machines. We were well aware of this, and many gamers who had spent their hard-earned money to buy the game were more irate than we were. In all, though, the 'pirate' material was more helpful that not. Many new fans were made by DMs who were using such copies to run their games. - Gary Gygax
