Designing Dungeons is as easy as A, B, C!

Reviews:

  • Lamentations of the Flame Princess“Forget OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, and Swords & Wizardry. Forget Castle Zagyg, Carcosa, and Fight On! If you're looking for the monumental and important release of the OSR, you haven't yet found it. The Dungeon Alphabet by Michael Curtis is it.”
  • Bat in the Attic“Now that I have seen it I think this product is a outstanding achievement in both content and art. At its price it is a great value.”
  • Prime Requisite Games“From the wondrous to the disturbing, The Dungeon Alphabet is teaming with ideas that would prove valuable at the fingertips of any dungeon designer.”
  • Carter’s Cartopia“The DA indeed deserves to be singled out as an exemplary old-school product: technically system-free, it introduces the OSR "rules light" vibe to any gamer who might pick it up, and I assume that it would be a useful resource for almost any referee, regardless of system.  And very well produced with absolutely top-notch art.  Kick ass!”
  • Jeff’s Gameblog“This book is very nearly perfect.”

Rules Set: Systems-neutral, designed to be used with any RPG

I almost pulled the trigger on this until I read the comments from Rich H. The 4th printing is available at goodmangamesDOTcom for the same price

The version on DTRPG has been updated to the 4th Printing. The PDF here is the same as the one on the Goodman site. :)

Why is this the 3rd edition instead of the latest 4th with the expanded material? That seems to only be available on your website.

Is it already updated ?
I really want to buy here, but I won't buy the 3rd edition when the 4th is out there for the same price.

I got it in a bundle, and it's updated to the fourth printing, so it's the latest version.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
