I can't decide if the fighter looks more like elvis or lee majors. lol.

Great!

Any plans to make a version with the final lists of wizard spells running from side to side rather than top to bottom? You could shrink the text to make it fit in.

It appears MadIrishman made some! Checkout his link in the C&C rules laws and chaos topic.

Before I place my bet, what's the odds on the reindeer?

The female in the pic is a cleric and she's turning something nasty I put in the dungeon...and you know it's gotta be tough since serleran wrote up its stats!

Laura was glad to hear the positive comments. After she finishes her art degree this spring, I'm sure we'll see more excelllent pics to come.
Alas, poor Andrea is neck deep in first year courses.

I agree that the maps should be on the inside of the covers because the focus should be functionality. Shrink wrap 'em and the "perusing" becomes a non-issue. Any chance of seeing shrink wrapped mods in the future?

If the party exceeds it they're known. Could also have a "personal fame" rating for each character/town. And give the par...

Spotted a couple typos in Killer Troll Cave in encounter 2. I fixed 'em and reposted the pdf and zip under the same links. If there are any more, I'll fix 'em in the compilation.

I think Oriental Adventures set 'em at 1d4. Possibily 1d3 like a dart. I'd have to check to be sure. In C&C they'd also get a strength bonus if any.

Looks pretty good and I'm glad to see someone else posting dungeons!
Do you plan to add more to the encounter descriptons (after the boxed text)? IMHO I think it would be a good idea.
