CASTLE OLDSKULL - The Classic Dungeon Design Guide III

10th Anniversary Illustrated Treasury Edition150 unique illustrations in full color Enchanted fountains shadowed by gargoyle sentries,
Tricksy nymphs cavorting in crystal pools,
Unholy altars, sacred shrines,
Undiscovered treasure vaults, Thousands upon thousands of wondrous rooms
Filled with treasure, tricks, magic and eldritch horror,
All awaiting your heroes' intrepid discovery ... What greater mysteries await far below,
For only the most dauntless magi
And fearless warlords to ever find? Continuing the proud tradition of The Classic Dungeon Design Guide (Books I and II), Book III provides you with a nearly endless array of dungeon room types which you can use to build any size, plan and theme of dungeon you desire. This is the largest and most extensive dictionary of dungeon rooms in existence, featuring over 1,300 unique entries and 6 matrixed D1000 generation tables for the appropriate thematic structuring of underworld strongholds, ruins, temples, tombs, cave labyrinths, and more. The exhaustively complete matrix tables allow you to build thematic dungeons with ease, just using room size consideration, floor planning, and random die rolls. When coupled with the dungeon content generation systems featured in Book II, you will now have everything you need to create an infinite number of instant dungeon rooms with instant contents and unique features. In this massive tome you will also find many detailed real-world examples of layouts and room arrangements for caves, dungeons, manor houses, castles, and catacombs; and underworld lore that explains how to turn random results into coherently structured underworlds (such as deep dwarven undercities, arenas, hideouts, haunted fanes, and more). So what are you waiting for? This book is the perfect companion to The Classic Dungeon Design Guides I and II, and has been specially designed to serve both as a learning grimoire and as a tabletop go-to book for design and for sandbox play. After all, if you're going to dare to delve into the netherworld, you should probably take not just a lantern and an elvish sword of great antiquity; you should also carry the ultimate guidebook with you along the way ...
