I pulled my Mentzer Basic D&D books out and was flipping through them. I had forgotten that I drew a dungeon on the blank map page in the players book way back when I first got them (c. 1983/84). The map isn't my first attempt at making my own dungeon (I can see faint traces of previous works on the page) but it is pretty close. Here it is...

So I decided to update that map with my current style. I was tempted to add additional details but I decided against it (for the most part) because I wanted to remain close to the original. I did change the numbering and added a falling block trap to area 8. Area 10 has a stone wall blocking the eastern entrance. Click to enlarge.



Map Details:
Area 1 has a dais with a covered pit trap on top.
Area 2 has a giant altar.
Area 6 has a covered pit trap.
Area 8 has a falling block trap.
Area 10 has a stone wall blocking the eastern entrance.
Area 16 has a pool of water.
I don't know why the doors from areas 14 to 16 are raised higher in the adjoining walls (with steps leading up to/down from them).

Cheers,
Tim

I was going through my map folder and came across this little thing I did back in 2009. Thought I would share.

This was initially done as a 5 minute map drawn with a sharpie. It was a warm-up exercise. I liked it enough that I gave it the Photoshop treatment and came up with the following. Click to enlarge.



I then took the map and added it to a scroll to come up with this. Click to enlarge.

Here is another oldie that I did for a World of Greyhawk AD&D campaign back in 2008. Click to enlarge.

Here is the September 13th, 2019 Friday Freebie map. It can be used in conjunction with last week's cave map. Click to enlarge.





Map Details:

• Areas 1, 3, 8, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 22 have cliff ledges.
• Area 2 has a series of natural stone steps that lead down to the lower section of area 18.
• Area 4 has a statue and an altar.
• Area 9 is a rope bridge that is supported by natural stone columns.
• Area 21 represents water.
• Area 23 has a large stone monolith. It is said that if you listen carefully, you can hear whispering coming from the monolith. But be careful because the monolith's whispering has been known to drive people mad.

Here is how the two maps would look together. Click to enlarge.
