MShipley88 wrote:So, there is a connection between Castle Greyhawk and Maure Castle: El Raja to Greyhawk to Maure...or something like that. I wonder how much of the Dungeon magazine Maure is lifted directly from El Raja...? *RJK...are you reading this?*

The Troll Lords were really cool about taking my order after my own confusion with the sale duration.Grodog, Dark Chateau is also related in this a little bit as well is it not? The DC is obviously not part of the dungeon but the surrounding area?

I remember taking a peek at the binder (sitting at his right side) a couple of years ago while he was DMing - purely for getting a look at the original, not for cheating purposes . It has many levels and the maps are quite large with many twists and turns - even if one was trying to sneak peeks to try and cheat - wouldn't do any good!!Grodog - I don't think the map he used for the Dungeon Crawl pane was from the CG. The only reason I think this is that when we were going thru the Hall of Many Panes (playtest), Gary never mentioned or said that it was. I just remember it being a bear to map - mostly because of his famous teleporters (damn things). Definitely in the vein of his wonderful maps that go every which way!

Did he catch you peeking, and was there a unique punishment for that...like having your hands slapped by a beholder's eyestalk, or bludgeoning by a catoblepus tail?Even a lovingly and carefully preserved amateur project like Castle Greyhawk would be considerably stressed after 30 years of gaming. The old maps cannot be in great condition unless they have done nothing other than reside in a file drawer in a dry room.Gary must be aware of the historic nature of this project. Surely he has made other copies....right?Mark
