The essay you are about to read is the Credits culmination of almost twenty years of my life experiences. It is not a magnum opus, but my Written & Laid Out by: Irene D. B. first foray into codifying a philosophy that I have been bouncing around in my head for Interior & CoverArt by: Irene D. B. the past two years. That philosophy is that our dungeon design can only be improved by Cartography by: Irene D. B. understanding the language of the similar field of level design for video games. John Romero Quotes provided by: Tiogus of Helldorado The most clear example of the intersection of these two fields can be found by looking no further than the work of Jennell Jaquays. Not only is she considered one of the best dungeon designers, with herDark Tower adventure being nominated for the 1979 H.G. Wells Award for Best Role-playing Adventure, but she also has a very successful career as a video game level designer. This is no accident. I hope that you come away from this essay with a new eye when it comes to designing Sampleyour dungeons file 2 Using This PDF You know what’s wonderful? Technology is wonderful.
