First Dungeon Map in 30 years

Believe it or not, I have not made a lot of dungeon maps. I can only remember two actual underground maps, both made very early on, probably before 1978. Recently, I've been using +Dyson Logos maps for most of my dungeon map needs.

When +Erik Tenkar mentioned opening up his Tenkar's Landing sandbox to crowdsourcing, I leapt at the chance to draw and stock my own dungeon map.

In preparation, I decided I needed some practice. Last night I started doodling a wizard's tower and dungeon beneath it. Here is the result so far -- a ruined tower and the first level of dungeon:


This was drawn with a Pentel Precise V5 Extra Fine pen on my 3.5" x 5" Rosehands notebook.

The Map of the Vicinity of Rǘ

I'm running a couple games set in the town of Rǘ during the Time of No Kings. So I made a map of the area.



The scale is 5 miles per hex. Hexographer was used.

Summon a Little Demon

Just thought I'd post a random demon rolled on the charts for the Summon spell in Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I've added this spell to my Time of No Kings era Tekumel rules.

Brainonicus
Giant Brain, 4 HD, AC 12, Move 120", Attack d6, ML 10

Appendages:
Icy stripes -- how it moves so fast
Crystalline branches

Powers:
8th level spellcaster

This is one nasty demon. When playing around with the rules for this spell, the summoner, a 2nd level magic user managed to dominate it with a Great Margin, and convinced it to serve him for a year and a day.
