Some notes on an obscure early D&D variant that never managed to get a commercial publication: Catacombs and Caverns.

  1. Pretty funny it mentions a continent called "Varn" - that was also the name of the land in the original "Might & Magic" computer game (1986 / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_and_Magic_Book_One:_The_Secret_of_the_Inner_Sanctum). Wonder if the computer game's creator had at some point seen or heard of "Catacombs & Caverns", or if it was just a random coincidence?
