Welcome to another edition of Friday’s “Mystery Meat”…..the Leftovers Edition. I am reposting the vertical geomorphs from yesterday, re-scanned for better quality, plus as an added a bonus one brand spanking new one. All for that everyday low price of whatever the hell you pay each month for your internet connection!! For some reason I see these vertical geomorphs in a whimiscal light, maybe because of various cartoons and some ads I used to see in various RPG publications. I seem to remember some side view dungeon images of a comical nature back in the day. Wish I had some exmples of what I mean. (If anyone has anything like that, please send me an image or link). Anyway that is how I have been approaching these things. Drawing in all the little details, gives these a slight cartoon feel and I am enjoying the results thus far. Hope you kids like em…!!!!
Vertical-Geomorph 1 (Set-1) This one has at the top a large 2 level room with an open stairway, halfway down the steps is a balcony that overlooks the lower level with a ledge and archway that leads to “where ever”…?? Continuing down the steps leads to the lower open level. A secret door opens to a spiked pit trap, above which, there trap door that is reached by the ladder. There is another trap that drops the un-wary into a pit filled with water/acid/chocolate pudding…(what ever:). There is also a chamber with some coffins and a secret room with a treasure chest. Fun Times!
Vertical-Geomorph 2 (Set-1) This one has a door leading to a deep vertical shaft filled with water, a secret door at the bottom leads somewhere else. There is a statue in the lower room that, when properly triggered, slides forward reavealing a hidden stairway. There is also yet another secret door behind the statue. Fun Times 2!!
Vertical-Geomorph 3 (Set-1) This is my favorite so far. Here we have a large open cavern with a whole lot of (construction?) going on. Ramshackle wooden platforms at various levels with a large (working?) crane. A secret passageway leads to a long ladder into the depths. Wooden you like to have some fun!!!
Vertical-Geomorph 4 (Set-1) This one has a large cavern with a narrow stone bridge spanning a large chasm. At the bottom of the chasm is a secret passeway leading into the underworld. Getting into running battles on a narrow bridge and falling down Fun!!!!
Love them. I can’t imagine trying to cram that much detail into mine. The wood one is particularly awesome.
You might be thinking of the stuff from Grimtooth: Most of the time when a diagram was required it would be a side view.
That last one is great as well. I love the little added effects such as the extra black on the stalactites, just adds the right depth to it.
