Oh, god. A little sideview castle? I think I’m in love.
By far my favourite part of doing these geomorphs are the surface ones.
Totally loving the Castle….Are the “Floating” stairs in the bottom geomoprh like a set of stairs that is open to the room on one side? At least thats my impression, and it works for me that way, unless I am mis-reading it….Great stuff as always…you little performing monkey…:)
Looks like a ladder to me. I like the idea of a secret door in the bottom of a pit that opens up to a ladder into the darkness. We don’t always have to have nice stairways connecting levels.
Dyson, these new geomorphs absolutely rock. You may not be a monkey, but I’m sure glad you perform so well when asked to!
So: I’ll ask – can you do a Dodecahedron issue with all the Glantri style prestige class info bundled together? That would totally make my day.
Cheers, man. Excellent work as always.
Not sure about the Glantri-style Prestige Classes yet. Might make a few more before I get around to bundling them. Right now Dodecahedron 4 is looking like it will be just one dungeon and should be ready in a week.
No worries. I look forward to whatever you decide to put into the mag.
Typically yes, but it can also just represent stairs in an area where the z-axis includes rooms as well as stairs. But I usually draw them as “open to the room” stairs like you suggested.
Three cheers from *this* performing monkey. I expect I’l get to surface tiles soon enough…
Loving these, Dyson. I am a big fan of interesting/innovative use of vertical space in dungeon design–I only wish I had seen Jeff’s post about these before writing my own recent screed about Flat Dungeon Syndrome! Keep up the great work.
