A dungeon from my childhood.


A dungeon from my childhood. I was maybe 11 when I drew this? 12? I think I had a Player's Handbook but no other books. Later I got the DMG which at least had monster stats in the back.

    I wish I still had my first dungeon. It had a room that would grind you up if you closed both doors, and a dragon at the end (of course).

    Yeah, I don't know how that dragon gets out of his room that is barely big enough for him.

    Que awesome. I did it backwards from you, I had Holmes Basic and the DMG and had to make all kinds of weird things up.

    There was nowhere to buy D&D stuff in my town, so I had to puzzle out what to order from the little bookstore in town. The lady that owned the store and I would look at her distributor catalog, "Monster Manual! That's it!"

    I love how all the old dungeons -- mine looked exactly like this -- were built out of drywall. Because you had to maximize the paper, right?

    Could you run this today if you wanted to?

    I've got another one here that is keyed. And obviously created from the random tables in the DMG.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
