[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 7802304, member: 17913"] Originally released for [I]Swords & Wizardry[/I] with a primitive layout and some hastily put together maps, [I][B]The Darkness Beneath Dalentown[/B][/I] is now re-born with fully revised text bringing it in line with both BX and 1st edition compatibility, gorgeous full color maps by Elven Tower, and new artwork by a host of artists. You can pick up [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/287112/DD01-The-Darkness-Beneath-Dalentown-for-1st-Edition-and-BX?affiliate_id=307574'][B][I]DD-01[/I] The Darkness Beneath Dalentown[/B][/URL] on DriveThruRPG right now! Let’s check out some of the enhancements. [SIZE=7][B]New Cartography[/B][/SIZE] After the [I]Swords & Wizardry[/I] version of the adventure did so well, and other Dalentown-related releases like [I]Adventures in Dalentown[/I] sold well, we’d already had the famous Elven Tower Cartography creating new town maps. It only made sense to have them re-do the entire adventure! Best of all, getting Elven Tower to do this allows us to include player-friendly maps, a separate printable PDF for larger versions of the maps than what are shown inside the book, and again as a zip file containing the highest resolution, so folks using virtual tabletop services like Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, and Astral have access to the best quality! Take a look at some of the gorgeous cartography below.
