Still working on my Traveller site. Nothing uploaded yet, but I have about 100 planet maps on 4 sectors. Just have to do the uwp for each, post articles, and do a few solar system maps.

    I think the ones that stab outwards are barricades.

  • [submitted] Community Atlas competition entry: A mega-dungeon level, fire

    I think I have all in the correct order, just need to add some debris, et al, and type up the text.

    first text, likely modified later.

    1 nothing.

    2 looks like a last stand defence, so why is the chest not opened ?

    3 west door is secret. south and east doors are wood and easily opened. Guding away from the secret door ?

    4 southeast corner of the odd-shaped room on the west side does hang over the lava. it is either buttressed up, or it has no support and anyone walking to that corner will very likely break through and fall into the lava.

    stone bridge crosses over to a small anteroom room and into room 5.

    5 nothing there yet

    6 stairs down. Three large empty barrels. Open doorway leads to room 11. Corridors allow any being in room 11 tto circle around behind the adventurers.

    7 circular room. Note the small bit of lava at the bottom of the water.

    8 debris

    8A stairs up

    8B a pit protecting 2 closed chests.

    8C debris

    9 dead end

    10 behind 2 secret doors and passageways. The level's big treasure could be in here.

    11 nothing yet

  • The 'No Ducks' version 1 dungeon

    edit: Before I forget... Dec 7 through Dec 15, 2020 I'll be busy and likely not logging in much.


    Here it is, completed. I may or may not add another level 2 or later on.

    Room dimensions estimated by eye.

    If anyone wants to use this in their game sessions, please free to do so.


    No Ducks 1

    1) Entrance: 50' x 50' x 15' + 55' x 95'

    Stairs down: slope is 23.2 degrees.

    3 bugbears behind a wooden wagon. Two oil lamps on wall to left and right. Three small piles of broken rocks.

    Doors on North side are open. Open doorway leads to room 6 which has 2 giant beetles. The bugbears are trying to keep the beetles in that room. The wooden door into room 6 bears the scares of mandibles trying to open it.

    Short passageway leads to a blank wall. Two foot gap between that and the wall into room 5. Digging need to breach the gap. Noisy digging.

    Secret passage way to room 11, requires digging to cross the 2 foot gap.

    2) 52' x 51' x 12'

    2 ghostly tables, and 3 ghostly chairs.

    A regular desk, and 3 desks with storage shelves. And maybe one or two of them have a secret drawer.

    3) 32' x 70' x 15'

    2 giant ants and a bull. They are intently watching the entrance open doorway.

    Rocks, fungi. An obvious trap door in front of one giant ant. Wood debris in front of the other one.

    4) 32' x 27' x 9'

    Hidden behind a 4' thick wall.

    Two open pit traps with spikes. Two open pits without spikes.

    Three small chests.

    5) storage, former bar. 41' x 47' x 12' ghostly bar and cabinet ( the blue items) Drink orders can be filled, but it could be very dangerous to drink them.

    2 chests. 4 sealed jars.

    On the table are 3 green glowing bottles, and 3 flasks.

    6) storage: 33' x 33' x 12' 2 giant beetles. 5 square crates. 2 rectangular crates.

    7) 30' x 33' x 15'

    The topiary will say, via magic mouth recording, 'Roar, I say Roar' when any being arrives into the room.

    If anyone attacks, pets, etc. the topiary it will attack as a 2 hit dice monster doing 1d4 damage per attack which is done by brances and leaves smothering.

    -> The areas on the east side of room 7 that look hollow could have something in them.

    2 small wooden crates

    The ceiling glows like ordinary sunlight.

    8) 45' x 45' x 12'

    Four hungry beetles.

    Trapdoor leading into a small 3' x 3' room, 5' deep.

    9) 43' x 45' x 15'

    The topiaries in this room do a song and dance when any being enters the room.

    The berries on the trees look delicious. They are poisonous, easy save.

    The ceiling glows like ordinary sunlight.

    Stepping on the cracks could lead to a fall.

    10) 25' x 30' x 8'

    medallion engraved into the floor.

    11) 28' x 27' x 7'

    Floor grate and a pile of coins.

    Or is an illusion, and the coins are really under the grate ?

    12) 40' circular room, 12' high.

    The large portcullis will only stop humans from entering.

    Two braziers in the room. Inspection shows they likely can only burn for 3 hours. There is air flow up through the celing.

    13) hidden behind the brazier, secret door.

    37' x 25' x 10'

    11 skeletons apparently guarding 3 floor grates.

    There might be some treasure below the grates.

    14) 30' circle, 15' high.

    Two braziers, venting out the ceiling. A small pool, 20 feet deep. There might be something in the water.

    15) 30' x 7' high.

    5 giant rats. And a brazier. Small trap door in the ceiling for food drops to them, the food is late.

  • The 'No Ducks' version 1 dungeon

    Edit: I forgot to mention these No Ducks dungeons are basically revamps of B1, from TSR.

    Maybe I shouldn't try to come up with a dungeon name late at night. But there aren't any ducks in this dungeon. Really. It isn't complete, but I decided to share. Maybe with the idea of getting a laugh.

    Oh, this is a maybe partial revamp of B1 Quasqueton. This is from the Watabou random dungeon generation page, two maps inserted and used as a mapping guide.

    I noticed, finally, that save as png leaves the text. But if you export as png from Watabou, the text goes away, and the area outside the dungeon becomes transparent which makes it easier to line up with the loaded template.

    Rooms 2 and 5, the blue items are ghostly figures. Probably haunting the dungeon.

    Room 9, topiary: 2 deer and one griffon. Touching might activate them. ( CSUAC)

    Room 12: That is one huge portcullis. Probably not a detriment to small and man sized beings; however, going through it without raising it just might be dangerous.

    edit: there is a 2000 pixel jpg in my gallery.

  • some battle maps, 75' x 50'

    A path. Apparently a dead soldier behind a small wall. Is he there to protect the pumpkin patch from the hog ? And who cut the tree down ? Certainly not the hog.

    Different types of shrubbery on opposite sides of the path. Map 7 through 9 hasn't been started yet.

    Surgery went fine.. I'm here on Saturday. Another procedure Sunday morning. To make sure of something I don't remember the name of.

    Two clogged blood vessels. Cardiaologist will fix them then recheck the valve.

    That is the result of the test.

    It looked too dark, so I used a different one. Castlewall_LtBrown_blu_kpl


    overall map, and a 5 k pixel one in my JimP's Gallery -> larger Atlas maps

    Note the kelp looks like there is a water flow. Those submerged rocks on the bottom of the map look a bit slippery.

    I'm not sure how to add a compass rose to this map and scale so they look correct.


    dorm area furthest from the viewer. The ceiling is covered. Cut-away so you can see detail.

    I added some rocks from Sue's newest Annual.

    dorm area closer to the viewer, same deal, it has a roof, but cut-away so you can see detail.

  • An arcology dungeon

    An update for an earlier map. The treasure in room 23 is an illusion, the rest is real. Perspectives items added besides CA66. Room 25, why yes, characters have to climb over the sarcophagus to get past it.

    Probably no more mapping until after Dec 25.
