As a kid, I would've picked that book up immediately! It looks a lot more bitchin, weirdo and a lot less new agey than the cover I grew up with!
Anyways, somewhere on page 23 of Paper Dungeons there is a killer little pic of this 2d Vertical Dungeon:
A couple random things:
1. Where the hell does this comes from? At least in not knowing we have free reign to fuck it up however we want. I'm guessing it's from a video game of some sort? Possibly a Castelvania esque one.
2. The top of the dungeon looks like a Wizard's Hat! Maybe the entire dungeon is the petrified remains of a Giant Evil Wizard?!?!?!?
3. Speaking of the top, I like that unlike most vertical dungeons, this ones starts from the bottom and goes up.
4.. I'm interpreting the openings in the side to be a myriad of cave entrances, which is a necessity if you are going to try Jacquaying your dungeon. As there are already a few multiple paths to take, it shouldn't take much to turn this dungeon into something snappy.
6. I have no idea what the solid purple balls are scattered around the map, any ideas? Given the hidden/dangerous locations of most(behind the stairs/inside the top of a peak), I'm inclined to think: treasure chests. (loot ynq?)
7. Those bizarre hedgehog demons are obviously just the minions, something truly badass has to live at the top of such a peak.
Bonus: Scope this strange Hungarian zine. Looks punk as a fuck, only missing the Discharge face:
