Thread Title : Temple of Elemental Evil:  Moathouse Redux

I wasn't sure whether to post this on this forum or Greyhawk, so I am putting it on both.  I hope this isn't considered spamming, and if it is, would a moderator kindly delete one and point to the other? :) 


Ok, I just finished my first official Dundjinni map - and I am beat. It's an interpretation of the Ruins of the Moathouse from the 1985 AD&D module: The Temple of Elemental Evil.  Scale = 1 square (inch) = 5 ft.  The squares are purposely faint as a compromise for those who like / don't like em.  :D 

I hope it doesn't violate copyright - this is truly an interpretation / derivative of a very basic black & white line drawing, but just to be safe, I am hosting it on my blog, which I started just a few days ago.  I hope folks still remember this module!

Anyways, the permalink to the post:

Feedback would be welcome!

That's rather cool actually. Is it just my perspective or does it look a lot more intact that the original?

Cool!

Though I'm not sure what you'd do with it.

When I first ran T1, I loved the bird's eye illustration of the moathouse, but hated that I couldn't really show it to the players. So, I made a few drawings (http://web.fisher.cx/robert/rpg/adnd/t1illos/) that I could show the players to help them visualize it. Nothing near as good as Tintagel's work, mind you. I scanned them at some point to share.

Why, use it for the adventure!  I'm using d20pro (http://www.d20pro.com) as a virtual tabletop that lets me manage combat, hp, etc.  It also lets Players play over the internet with us, in case they can't physically be at the table.  See this post for more info:

Before I got Dundjinni, I was experimenting with Google's Sketchup (free), and I needed something complex to learn with, so I whipped out the old moathouse.  I never finished it, but learned a lot about the program.  If anyone wants to finish it, be my guest!  The file is below.

Download Sketchup free here:
