[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 48349, member: 259"] I elided the parts of your post that I've already answered in this thread: I'm not talking about curvy ghoul warrens, I'm talking about the parts that contained corridors that wound wihtout reason. I disagree that my assumptions are wrong, for two reasons: 1) When I made some comment to my DM about the corridors (I was the ill-fated party-member trying to map the corridors), he got a sheepish look on his face and agreed with me that it was stupidly designed. 2) I ran the original Temple of Elemental Evil a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure that there was no construction going on at that point in the adventure. My best guess is that Monte used a modified version of the maps from the original adventure: to do otherwise woulda POd a lot of fanboys. And the illustrious Gygax was never known for making well-thought-out, plausibly designed dungeons: he emphasized kewl tricks above plausibility. Perhaps you shouldn't tell folks they're wrong unless you've got better evidence? Daniel [/QUOTE]
