"Ratrock Mountain": An Endless T&T Tunnel Crawl...

I'll be offering a free setting here soon.  This is the one of the main maps, and work is underway.  My plan is to present it, over the years, in levels.  The goal is to make it the largest underground crawl I've ever undertaken; replete with a necropolis, "hells acres", lagoons and other water features, sprawling gardens, teleportation and astral zones, you name it.  My approach to accomplishing this is to offer it in chunks.  In other words, a permanent place to roam around in, with areas mapped out over time as they come to me.   

The background and introduction is forthcoming, of course.  I just wanted to give a preview by unveiling the map I designed for "Ratrock Mountain"!  If you stay up until 4 AM, drink a fifth of rum, turn around in circles 47 times and then stand on your head, holding the map at arms length, you will probably be able to make perfect sense of it.  This is an approach I developed a long time ago...to design something that "makes sense but does not".  It creates an overwhelming sense of sprawling space in the mind of the players and aids in the infinite nature of the environment where "anything is possible".  Not all the maps will be this way, of course, but many are.  The actual exploration areas usually follow a more traditional dungeon style layout.
