It has a thoughroughly wierd old-school feel to it, but the lower levels feel scaled against characters well over 300pts. I have recently been comparing CotMA, Stonehell, and Ruins of the Undercity along with Everglory for what I can mine for my mega, but I hate the drag of exploration that a pbp game had.

The maps aren't complete. With maps, it's a usable (albeit imperfect) dungeon. Without the maps, it's useless. And given maps, it's easy to upgrade it if you wish.<br /><br />Converting another adventure runs into all sorts of copyright issues - not a problem for a personal game, but a real problem for something free on the web I can point to as at least a possible free dungeon.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-68855332892095105642014-04-22T21:01:25.144-04:002014-04-22T21:01:25.144-04:00I think that's why he picked it.

The first couple of levels are good, but I found on playing through it that the encounter design just starts to fail around level 3 or so. The author wasn't particularly receptive to my commentary and I washed my hands of the project. It's not a bad project, but there's a lot of semi-decent dungeon delves out there and converting them to GURPS isn't that hard.<br /><br />Making a cool DF adventure out of some random adventure takes work, but just converting them isn't that hard.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.com
