Old DCS letter from a recent ebay auction. It was included in a beat up EPT box set along with some cool maps etc.

Very cool! Image is too small to read anything of it - any chance the original poster will post a larger image (especially of the first page, where the majority of the text is)?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it, it already has sold (for about $200), maybe the random person who bought it will.

ReplyDeleteAh, got ya Scott Mob - I thought since you were the original poster you were the lucky buyer! What a find!!
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, Undermountain is looking much more attractive Allan Grohe : ) (was a big fan of Greenwood's articles in Dragon back in the day, but FR really ground my gears in the 2e era so I never bought any of it)
ReplyDeleteAndy C: I have fond memories of the poster maps and elements of the boxed set for UM1, based on Greenwood's articles from BITD. I haven't relooked at that stuff in ages, for the most part, but still have very fond memories of leveraging his various new monsters, magic items, spells, classes, and such in my games.
ReplyDeleteBased on DCSIII's maps here, it would be very curious to be able to see the original Undermountain maps in a Bottle City style/rendition, to compare to Dave's maps, to the published product!
That'd definitely be an interesting comparison (Greenwood original maps to DCS maps), Allan Grohe. It'll never happen, but one thing I'd love to see would be a compendium of all of DCS's cartography that he did for TSR; when I was a kid, I thought all of those maps were just "the TSR style", and only later found out that DCS did much of the cartography during the AD&D 1e days (and a bunch during the 2e era as well). In retrospect, DCS was the Dyson Logos of his era : )
