Tegal Manor

Digiartst · May 2015

So If many of you old D&D'ers are like me you may have had your first adventures in a Wonderfull haunted house named Tegal Manor. After a long absence from this wonderful software my now teenage boys wanted to be run in a dungeon. I have run in D&D since the original 3 brown books and now its there newest rule system that just published. Now back to Tegal Manor and this software which I own almost every bundle they make. So with alot of rust but a far more powerfull computer I built the first level of tegal manor walls , and doors and floors in about 3 8 hour days. Now its onto detailing the rooms, everything goes along great but the room charts starts calling for things that are not included in CC3+, starting with spider webs, so out comes photoshop and I made my first symbol set spider webs. I will probably make anywhere from 20 to 30 different symbols for my needs because after all this is a haunted house.
I do not know if there are webs somewhere out there and I am just looking in the wrong location but here are my webs in use.

If you can, the easiest way is to do your personal symbols... I have just done that for some shields.

By the way, very nice map!

Great map, and symbols. Any chance of seeing the final full map?

Digiartst · May 2015

I am not done stocking the manor but here is the ground floor of the Manor, its work in progress.

Mateus090985 · May 2015

OH !!! This is not just a manor, it is a city! And how many levels this monstruosity have?

[Deleted User] · May 2015

That's great, and you were so damned quick too

Thanks for a GREAT map

SE tower 6 upper levels, SW wing 1 upper story, NW Tower 4 upper levels, NE wing 2 upper levels. Dungeon level one a series of rat tunnels that run under the Manor.
Dungeon level 2-4 are the lower levels. Look up Tegal manor on the internet and you can see what I am recreating with these great mapping tools first then my own symbol set to finish off the manor.

The original was done by Judges Guild. Lou Zocchi and one of his empoloyees redid it and reissued it.

Its the home of a foul family, that makes the Addams' Family look like nice folks.

Digiartst · May 2015

The infamous Rump family ,and all their not so alive relatives. This is made from my original map and book, and will be turned into 5.0 for my dming pleasure.
only 1/4 of the rooms are named and stocked into the book so that leaves me with the rest and using a lot of imagination, I hope to do it right.
I would love to do other favorite the tower of Mitra and the city of the invincible overlord. Judges Guild did great stuff.

Stay strong, build maps. Your choices are great and I really look forward to seeing what you create. Please post them.

Posted By: DigiartstI have run in D&D since the original 3 brown books...

Woo-hoo! I was beginning the think I might be the only one! City of the Invincible Overlord? Judges Guild? That takes me back! Now, just throw in Eldritch Wizardry and Blackmoor for the win!

Awesome map. Those spider webs look amazing!

Cheers,

I have those books sitting in my bookshelf. The real beginner dungeon was known as Palace of the Vampire Queen. The Tower of Mitra I mentioned earlier , was more commonly known as "The Black Tower.
It was an amazing adventure of its time, but I am really aging myself here.

Madcat · May 2015

That's impressive work you've done there, be nice to see it all done. I think I have a copy of the original module lurking around somewhere.

A lot of Judges Guild stuff is over on Drivethru RPG now.

Digiartst · May 2015

Tegal Manor was never fully stocked you had to use your imagination for a lot of the rooms , mine will be fully stocked , the rooms described in the books just like they say come to life, and then my interpretation of the rest. For instance the mead hall 20 large spiders, totally covered in webs and 6 zombies thump on a dead giant rat. Its all there. Enjoy Tegal/Gorman (my last name) Manor.

My custom symbols in use Spiders, webs, giant rat tracks.

Here is an old CC3 map of the City State of the Invincible Overlord. I am in the process of linking descriptions of the buildings to the maps.

Digiartst · May 2015

Good to see that great city has been mapped. Its better then those remakes they are trying to palm off. did you see the kickstart project of the same name those are good looking maps from what I have seen. Maybe Tegal should be a kickstart too. The Mansion deserves a face-lift on art and stock and story. Like I posted earlier its a great start of and involved story line in the sword coast.
Well Ill just keep build my interpretation for now. To much fun I am having here.

Digiartst · June 2015

New additions to the manorr south of the mead hall. Maids quarters and it appears one of the maids is a seamstress because of the fine bolts of cloth, next to her room. I wonder what happened to her, there also seems to be a ranging fire in the gallery, and those damn rats just ate all the baking supplies. Enjoy

That's my more recent version without pink trees.

JimP · June 2015

Some of those trees look more Magenter than pink.

[Deleted User] · June 2015

I note that some of your numbers do not correspond to the correct buildings. I am going to fix these. Certainly the map is better than the one I posted (made by someone else, I don't know who, was it you. And I don't get magenta trees.
I will also try to colour code the buildings to fir the descriptions of their use, and put pretty roofs on. Keep you all updated. CSIO is one of my FAVOURITE maps and modules.

JimP · June 2015

I was making a joke... RHPS.

Not all of the trees look pink to me.

[Deleted User] · June 2015

Sorry, I'll try to get more lighthearted next time.

yes, the original map you're working from is mine. There's a few other Judges Guild city maps I did here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3nn43nvxffhwxq/Judges Guild Maps.zip?dl=0
I had a lot of work done on Tarantis and a good start on CSWE as well at one point, but lost those in a HD crash and never got back to them.
It's interesting that you don't get pink trees on that older version because I did, and thus spent a fair bit of time fixing the issues i had with trees and other vegetation (laboriously changed the color on all the affected symbols in the map).
I did the Rock of Bral too from Spelljammer:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/72w6388aczbp92p/Rock of Bral.zip?dl=0
Bral and CSIO are pretty much the peak of my capabilities. Can't really compare to what some people here can accomplish but what I CAN do I can do fairly well.

[Deleted User] · July 2015

To Man in the Funny Hat, I have put in the sewer and secret tunnels, and links to building descriptions - see my discussion thread, titles City Stae of the Invincible Overlord. More roofs to go, and some roads to be downgraded to dirt, and dungeon links to some FCW's for some of the amazing dungeons in the place eg Thieves' Guild. Hope you don't mind me doing this.

JimP · July 2015

My first maps, made with CC2, were not very good, but i made lots of them. Now I'm using CC3 to make better maps. Taking my time rather than tossing them out like pancakes. Since my dungeon maps didn't look good in the past, I'm taking my tmie learnign how to use DD 3.

How did you get the spider web effects there so good looking

I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted this. I had a hard drive fry and lost most of the manor, so I gave up on it for a long while, but using screen caputures of the previous work, and some backup i rescued from the drive. I will be adding to my manor again.

As to the spiderweb question I built all of them in photoshop, and their alpha channel has various tones to give the effect.

I will be posting updates soon
