[CC3/DD3] Old School Dungeon Maps: The Castle of the Mad Archmage

[jaerdaph]

Here is the revised version of the level 2 poster map. I've also included a black and white version. I've read and received several comments from a few folks who are having problems viewing the neon blue maps. I'm very sensitive to the issue, as myself and members of my family have had problems with our eyes. In response (because I want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy these maps), I've created a black and white version of the poster map above. Please pass this on to folks you run into on various message boards etc. where The Castle of the Mad Archmage is being discussed.

Edit: poster maps removed - see below for newer versions.

Bless you for the black & white map version. Looking great as always!

Thanks! Just for kicks and giggles, I recolored the black poster map to get this Undermountain look:

I finished up level 3 this weekend and went back and made some corrections to the level 2 maps. Here are the revised poster maps for levels 2 and 3.

I intend to make Undermountain-style versions of the poster maps at some point that are a little more detailed than the UM map I posted previously. My priority will be the blue&white/black&white maps though as I am thrilled to be working with the author Joe Bloch include my dungeon maps in The Castle of the Archmage pdf.

I love megadungeons but the images don't load for me.

Same with me. I get the following error:

I believe its an issue with .PNG files generated from CC3 - there's some posts around here somewhere that have covered this before.

Weird thing is, I get the error repeatedly in Firefox, but when I shift over to IE, the image displays correctly.

Crap.

Yeah, those are PNGs generated by CC3 directly. I guess I'm going to have to open them into GIMP or Fireworks from now on and convert them to a univerally usable format. I'll probably start doing them as GIFs from now on.

Please not gifs!

Use pngs, just correctly formatted pngs! (CC3 produces incorrect png files.) Just open it and resave it using another program (as a png) and it will be fine!
