Sorry, having trouble navigating the forum tools. I meant to say that I actually didn't playtest that adventure until after TSR had accepted it (back in the 2nd Edition days). It turned out to be a total party kill... :)

Incidentally, I didn't know that WoC had republished that map in Heroes of Horror until I thumbed through that book in a used bookstore, way after the fact.

Sorry, that last post was directed at Ancalalon.

That's ok, it takes a little while to get used to all of the forum's functions and foibles.

For example, if you want to attract attention to someone without quoting them in full, just put @ in front of their name, like so : [MENTION=6963649]Majinine[/MENTION]
 

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I was just trying to figure out how to delete a post, so that I could repost it correctly, but under Edit Post I can't find the delete button... Granted, I haven't had my coffee yet.
 

Oh! That looks a lot like a castle in a Dungeon Magazine adventure - a rather good one I should add.

One moment... (goes to dig in boxes) ... Yes! That layout is unforgettable. Dungeon Magazine Issue #75, July/August 1999. The Forgotten Man, by Steve Devaney. I rather liked running that adventure, maybe I should again... would have to convert it from 2nd ed, but whatever :)

I now await to be showered in my well deserved XP :D
I wrote that adventure! I'd raise you a whole level.
 

This is maybe an unreasonable piggybacking, but does anyone know if there is an adventure associated with this fun little map in the 2014 DMG?

I don't recognize that particular map but at least three of the maps at the back of the 2014 DMG were recycled from issues of Dungeon magazine:

The windmill on page 310 of the 2014 DMG is from an adventure called 'Prey for Smiley Bob' in Dungeon magazine issue #205.

The town map on the upper half of page 313 of the 2014 DMG is from an article called 'Mistwatch' in Dungeon magazine issue #186.

The city map on the lower half of page 313 of the 2014 DMG is from an article called 'Diyun: The Hanging City' in Dungeon magazine issue #189.

My 'google-fu' comes up with this:

Vault of Catharandamus

The dungeon on pages 276-281 in the "Tome of Magic: Pact, shadow, and truename magic supplement" (2006) by Matthew Sernett et al. for 3.5e is the "Vault of Catharandamus".






The "Vault of Catharandamus". Cartography by Mike Schley.




The location is described as a truename magic adventure site:



A few crumbling walls, eroded statues and columns, and the remnants of a few roads are all that remain of the Palace of Princess Argent. Years ago, a foul and alien sorcerer named Arik imprisoned the lady and her beloved champion beyond time and space, and cursed the place. Serving the dark spellcaster was a despicable man named Catharandamus who worked to bring his master into the Material Plane. Though a group of bold adventurers thwarted the curse, freed the princess and her knight, and put an end to the spellcaster’s evil, the palace never recovered, nor did the lands around it. Over the decades since, earthquakes, rains, and time took their toll, leaving little but a pile of rubble and a passage into a hill on which the palace once stood as evidence that anything ever stood here.


from the "Tome of Magic" (2006)
