Real-Life Dungeons: Kaisergruft

Just a brief post while I try to adjust to the change in my schedule caused by a different commute and the start of the school year for my kids. I noted that Geomorph #83 was inspired by a real tomb. Specifically, it is based on the Kaisergruft (Imperial Crypt) in Veinna.


At the time I visited Austria (on the eve of the Euro conversion), I had just wrapped up a short campaign set in 18th-century central Europe. Naturally, I was loving all this Habsburg history.

I like this. I could see adding a backstory and a few select monsters and making a cool little adventure out of it.

That is very cool, great find! Sometimes the simple old school....REAL old school is the best way to go. Some modern mappers, including myself, could stand to learn something from this master mapper!

@Narmer: Indeed, it looks like a great little microdungeon.

@Matt: I dig the style as well. If I could only find a spare moment, I'd try my hand at some microdungeons in this style. One more thing added to the queue...
