Part 41, starting in on the OD&D Vol 3 material. The big find here is an unused cross-section by Holmes, different from Skull Mountain, a nice addition to the few maps of his that we have.  #skullmountain #cross-section

The latest Lego minifig series (Series 12, Oct 14) has a wizard in blue robes with stars & moons, like Sutherland's wizard on the cover of the basic set. The figures are sold blind but this one can be identified by feel since the 'legs' are a wedge. I found one pretty quickly.

I'm new here, but I wanted to share that I have a 3D model of Portown based on R.C. Pinnell's map, which was itself based on Paleologos work. I made the model in Sketchup, and you'll need to install that program (it's FREE) in order to get the file. You'll also need Google, Drive, for those who do not. There are other models there, too, including the Green Dragon Inn.
