Dwimmermount PDF 1st Draft -- Its Happening!

[Mage of Spellford]

Just a quick note to say that Dwimmermount -- the long awaited is drawing closer and closer to completion.

Received an email yesterday with a link to the 1st draft of the completed PDF. Very nice! Its written for Labyrinth Lord but looks to be easily adaptable to any flavour of D&D. What a beautiful present just in time for the upcoming release of the new D&D. I can't wait -- just shy of 400 pages of Megadungeon goodness.

Castle of the Mad Archmage
The Emerald Spire
Barrowmaze I & II
Rappan Athuk
Slumbering TSAR
Aufstrag (at least the first five of 21 levels)
Stonehell
and now at last Dwimmermount

Its a great time for Megadungeons! Thanks James and thanks Autarch!

Whoops -- Not 1st draft -- First Proof!

Well on its way.

Where will it be sold?

Thanks James and thanks Autarch!

Sorry, but no. James does not deserve a "Thanks!" for what he did. When he apologizes to the community (and, to be fair, he may have but I haven't seen it), then I grant him acknowledgement.

I will give thanks and credit to Tavis and the rest of the guys at Autarch for making good on James's promises.

Where will it be sold?

It was a Kickstarter. I am not sure if Autarch will be selling it. You'll need to check with them.

Ok, its good to see that people who have been hoping for something...and paid for it...will finally get it.

Any more beans to spill on the content? Weird SF-fantasy crossover...for example.

It's an old-school 13 level megadungeon with a small town outside. You can read more from the kickstarter page.

My guess is the only thing that would keep Autarch from selling it is whatever rights James had/has to it. It was his baby, and he got caught up in life and handed it off to Autarch.

[DaveMage]

Oh, OK.

Hopefully it will be for sale at DriveThru....

 

[Agamon]

Of course they'll sell it at Drive-Thru. Autarch had to pick up a lot of slack to make up for James with no extra compensation. To do all that work and then just give it to KS backers would be odd.

Edit: Good point about the rights, but even then, if they want to sell it and need to offer some of the profit to James, I don't see how he'd that turn down.

The last word on this, was that Mr. Maliszewski agreed to releasing Dwimmermount as an OGL product, once all was said and done. I don't know if that is still the plan.
