[QUOTE="EldritchHistory, post: 9249911, member: 7037347"] That's a great recommendation, I'll be going to my local library tomorrow and will see if they have a copy. I will point out that the comments of the Alexandria site do say that Gygax's Greyhawk and Arneson's Blackmoor are explicitly referenced in the text of the book when talking about mega dungeons (based on your account of the text I'm assuming this is more of a reference than an in depth breakdown). While I understand not having large sections of a how to DM book talking about other creators' contributions (although that sounds like a far more interesting book to me), it does strike me as odd that he doesn't even mention Jennell in the xandering the dungeon section when it was pretty explicitly the case that her work inspired his breakdown of that technique in the first place. Even just a similar reference like Gygax and Arneson received. [/QUOTE]
