I foun...Dang it, the contact me link is disabled...<br />I found this in a diplomacy zine called europa. It has great significance for greyhawk:<br /><br />Before the rules for D&D were published 'Old Greyhawk Castle' was 13 levels deep. The first level was a simple maze of rooms and corridors, for none of the participants had ever played such a game bwfore. The second level had two unusual items, a Nixie Pool and a fountain of snakes. The third featured a torture chamber and many small cells and prison rooms. The fourth was a level of crypts and undead. The fifth was centred around a strange font of black fire and gargoyles. The sixth was a repeating maze with dozens of wild hogs (3HD) in inconvenient spots, naturally backed up by appropriate numbers of Wereboars. The seventh was centred around a circular labyrinth and a street of masses of ogres. The eighth through tenth levels were caves and caverns featuring Trolls, giant insects, and a transporter nexus with an evil wizard (with a number of associates) guarding it. The eleventh level was the home of the most powerful wizard in the castle. He had balrogs as servants. The remainder of the level was populated by martian white apes, except the sub-passage system underneath the corridors which was full of poisonous critters with no treasure. Level twelve was filled with dragons. The bottom level, number thirteen, contained an inescapable slide which took the players 'clear through to china', from whencethey had to return via 'outdoor adventure'. It was quite possible to journey downward to the bottom by an insideous series of slanting passages which began on the second level, but the likelihood of following such a route unknowinglh didng become too great until the seventh or eighth level. Of the dozen or so who played on a fairly regular basis, four made the lowest level and took the trip: Rob Kuntz, now a co-referee in the campaign went alone; and three of his friends managed to trace part of his route and blunder along the rest, so they followed him quickly to the land of china. - side levels included a barracks with orcs, hobgoblins, and gnolls continually waring with each other, a museum, a huge arena, an underground lake, a giants home, and a garden of fungi.<br /><br />-Gary Gygax, Europa 'zine, 1975Sean Robert Meaneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-44636132687284064322018-01-03T19:47:46.376-06:002018-01-03T19:47:46.376-06:00Thanks fellas.
