Prison Levels - Sketchup

August 26, 1977 Original Concept

On Tuesday, October 30, 2012, I posted the overhead of the Prison Complex, which included the sub-levels and dungeon. As I've recreated each map for this project, I've also decided to create them in Sketchup, for a couple reasons. In some instances it is much easier to visualize what specific areas look like to ensure my original concepts are sound, but I can, if needed, include some of these Isometric images (in cropped/tighter views) in the finished product to help the DM/Player(s) during adventuring.

Without further ado, the original overhead:

Vargas Earthmaster Site Sketchup

December 04, 1984 Original Concept

On December 12th of 2012, I posted an overhead of the Vargas EarthMaster Site. It showed the central chamber once the secrets of the previous 3 rooms had been solved:

I've since went through and recreated the entire site in Sketchup, which showcases the unique structure. Presented below is the Vargas EarthMaster Site in Sketchup Isometric view:

"Castle of the Bloated One" Dungeon Level 1

August 24, 1977 Original Concept

In an earlier post, dated Tuesday, October 16, 2012, I showed a map of the Castle of the Bloated One with an overlay of Dungeon Level 1.

This post details the entire dungeon level laid out in Sketchup, with various points of interest highlighted. We begin with the Dungeon Level isolated in basic white:

"Castle of the Bloated One" Mausoleum Level 2

March 30, 1978 Original Concept

The last two levels of this project map wise are now my focus. Looking back at my 1978 notes, I wrote: " ...three sub levels to house the wives of The Beguiler, a central main hall with branching structures, two cavern complexes: one leading to a watery isle, the other includes two warring tribes fighting for control of the region..."

The Mausoleum's 2nd level, located in the upper left quadrant of the Castle of the Bloated One is a fairly large structure with many secrets. Entrance is denoted by the RED X

Mines of Neb-Tet

March 28, 1978 Original Concept

The Mines of Neb-Tet were originally used as a quarry for some of the larger stones needed for temples and pyramids in the region, but in the last 300 years precious stones and Mithril have became the focus. This mine contains the first working lift system, used to lower ore down to the ships at the base of the triple 160' waterfalls - dwarven ingenuity at it's finest.

"Vale of Kings" VK IX - Mahdram I

March 21, 1978 Original Concept

Mahdram I, according to the "Book of Kings" was a central figure in the development of a cult, named the "Seeker's of Light". Outside of the cult, she worked with the local villages and with the aid of  a clan of dwarves set about building a lasting monument to her beliefs - the Pyramid of Light... once this was finished, and during the 29th year of her reign, she simply vanished.

Her tomb complex sits on the highest point within the Vale of Kings, and rumors continue to pour forth about the vast wealth, and traps within.

Presented below is the entrance to VK IX:
