Alternative map for S&W Grimmsgate module
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2022 1:22 pm
Thought I would share my work with the community.
I love the Grimmsgate module by Matt Finch, with minor tweaks its a very good start for fresh players in Swords & Wizardry (or any other Old School game). One of the problems for me have been it’s dungeon map - it's layout is a nuisance for DM (how many feet was this corridor?) and it is way too complicated to draw by description by a noob player.
So I took half a day and using Excel analogue on my home PC I redraw the map. It is noob beginner player friendly, easy to draw by description and easy for the DM to quickly use. The logic and most dimensions of the original were retained, and I managed to correct some minor errors IMHO.
Added both pdf and jpg versions for ease of printing.
Feel free to use and comment
As it is my first attempt in digital map making, be gentle...
