    My old maps from the early 80's are all gone... heck, so are my maps from the 90's and up until 2005 really.

    Awesome thread!

    The town in particular is impressive for a teenage gamer.

    Post Early maps compliments.....

    I second Hellhound on the town map, it looks very sharp and well defined. It reminds me of the early FR city maps, although if its pre 87', then it predates FR! Your teenage self was quite skilled Terrainmonkey.

    What a sweeet idea for a thread! Unfortunately, like Hellhound, my old maps went the way of the dodo. In a bit of instanity circa 1996 I GAVE AWAY my entire collection of late 70s/early 80s D&D books, modules--and my binder of years' worth of work.

    Still kicking myself!!!!!!!!!!

    You guys posting old stuff here does make it better slightly, though!

    Great idea! My mother was telling me she came across some old graph paper dungeons I drew when I was 14 years old (which was 28 years ago yesterday, by the way, happy birthday to me ). Next time I visit I'll get them and scan them in.

    Edit: I can't do math.

    If I had any old maps, I'd be sure to post them, I was always a 'free-winger' when I ran campaigns back in the day and only had a basic concept of "Okay, they go into tunnels then eventually it opens into a cavern and splits towards the surface and the depths of the underground ruins. . ." My players were too impatient to wait for me to draw out detailed maps every scene change. If I ever get into it again, you can rest assured I won't let something small like their patience or sanity stop me though.

    Check out my maps in these threads (They date all the way back to almost 1980):

    I am in the 'project mood' of converting them all to Degital (i.e. CC3 format), cause, well, it takes up less space.

    Wish I has some of my 'really' old modules I typed up on a typwriter of all things.

    Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!
