If you are taking requests- how about a redo of the Caves of Chaos? Its an old school classic. maybe even change it up slightly, perhaps the baddies have expanded a bit, dug a new tunnel, new room, secret passage/room.

Sorry, Blood axe but I have no immediate plans on redoing the Caves of Chaos. As a general rule, I don't like redoing published maps (the dungeon of Zenopus was an exception).

Speaking of the Caves of Chaos, Black Wyvern has tackled the Caves of Chaos (minus the ravine) at Dragonsfoot: http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewt ... 31&t=56433

Apologies if mentioning DF is off topic for these boards.

Here's this week's Friday Freebie map. Click to enlarge.

Image

Image

Map Details:
* Areas 1, 26, and 36 have pillars.
* Area 1 also has a tapestry.
* The dotted lines in areas 3 b), 3 c), 6, 30 b) - e), and 33 represent bars.
* The speckled dots near areas 3 b), 3 c), and to the right of area 36 represent rubble as those sections have caved in.
* The stairs leading north from area 8 are actually a slid trap (I like to think that when the slide is activated, spikes spring out of the far northern wall waiting for potential victims).
* Areas 13, 33, and 44 have statues.
* The dash lines in various corridors and in area 27 shows the location of the sections of the lower level. The area 27 chamber is partially over the chamber of area 34. A secret trap door in the floor of area 27 connects the two rooms.
* Area 28 has a large well/open pit.
* Area 33 has an open pit.
* Area 41 has a pool of water that has seeped into the room.

Cheers,
Tim
