Castle Oldskull Module 2: The Classic Dungeon Design Guide II

Hello everyone, Castle Oldskull is a well-regarded RPG supplement series, designed to sync with Gygaxian, old school, and Wizardly tabletop role-playing games. If you play tabletop, you’ll sync in quickly. If you’re a retro videogamer, you might see influences from Archon, The Bard’s Tale, Dragon’s Lair, Gauntlet, Mail Order Monsters, Phantasie, Telengard, Temple of Apshai, Tunnels of Doom, Ultima, Wasteland, Wizardry, and Zork. If you’re a game designer, writer, or programmer, you’ll find lots of creative material that can fuel your own projects, with inspirations for dark fantasy characters, encounters, monsters, plots, settings, spells, treasures, and random generation. I’m keeping prices dirt cheap here for those who find me, please enjoy and spread the word!

The sequel to the Classic Dungeon Design Guide is here ...

Have you read every dungeon design book out there, but you’re still hungry for great ideas to amaze your players?  Would you like to possess the tools to generate countless millions of randomized results for bizarre rooms and shrines, dungeon doors, magical laboratories, skeletons, Lovecraftian abominations, and torture chambers?  Then this is the book for you.

This massive tome is the direct sequel to Wonderland Imprints’ Gold Medal Best Seller, CDDG1:  THE CLASSIC DUNGEON DESIGN GUIDE.  Where Book 1 was a basic inspirational tome filled with thousands of ideas, Book II:  Dungeon Mastery Design Tables is an advanced nuts-and-bolts guide that provides you with hundreds of pages of tables which you can use to create an infinite number of dungeon rooms, monster lairs, thematic levels and endless details such as barracks, caves, chests, corpses, fountains, prisoner cells, quarters, shrines, and magical gateways.  You can even use this book’s treasure trove of systems to create millions of deities, slime monsters, prisoner NPCs, and unique NPC villains and prisoners, using nearly 1,000 different experience level titles and other tools that intersect with DDE1, DUNGEON DELVER ENHANCER.

Book One was only the beginning, the entry work to a series.  This is one of the largest and most extensive dungeon design books in existence, with features branching out from CDDG1 including:  data for on-the-spot creation of altars, barracks, caves, containers, corpses, doors, dungeon dressing, fountains, fungi, galleries, hideouts, laboratories, magical gateways, prisoners, quarters, stairways, torture chambers, unusual rooms, and those ever-baffling magical “unclassifiable chambers” which no one can fully comprehend.  It’s all here, the massive set of tables I have used for years to create new mega-dungeons for the Castle Oldskull OSR campaign.  I have refined and expanded them over many months of writing, and now I offer them to you.

So what are you waiting for?  This book is the perfect companion for THE CLASSIC DUNGEON DESIGN GUIDE, and has been specially designed to serve both as a learning grimoire and as a tabletop go-to book for design and for sandbox play.  After all, if you’re going to dare to delve into the netherworld, you should probably take not just a lantern and an elvish sword of great antiquity; you should also carry the ultimate guidebook to help you from getting lost along the way …
