| Tharzad-Dul-Level 1: The Mountain Door |
Before I started working on my most
recent project, the Digital Dark Age, I spent some time collecting
artwork. I did this because I wanted to find aliens that were
different from the norm and quite frankly I needed some inspiration.
I didn’t want to just make space orcs, space elves and so on. I
found that these images really helped inspire me. They made putting
word to the blank page a little easier.
Another thing I've discovered while
working on this project is how much of a joy it is to work with such
a rules light system. Stating up new aliens and monsters takes next
to no time.
All this got me back to thinking about
one of my long time obsessions, the mega-dungeon. So I thought to
myself, hey theres plenty of maps to be found on the internet, why
don’t you grab a few and stock those suckers to the gills with
traps, monsters and treasure?
So I started writing a background for
an old dwarven citadel and how it had fallen to their ancient nemesis
of goblins and orcs. Nothing too original. But, then I came upon the
secret reason that the goblins and orcs had finally been able to take
the mountain fortress.
Thats when I knew that I had something
special. To me at any rate. I needed this thing to be mine. Something
that if I decided I wanted to, I could publish it.
So heres the first level of Tharzad-Dul
another writing project I'll be posting up in between the Digital
Dark Age stuff, and whatever else I feel like writing about. While
you can use your favourite fantasy rpg, I'll be using Swords &
Wizardry as my base line rules set.
