Here is a quote by me on ODD74.
This is to advise you that my maps are quite crude since I possess virtually zero artistic talent and two that my players successfully navigated that and all of them made it through the door off the small landing.
I would need an artist to draw it up well enough for publishing. Then you also have the undrawable stuff such as two corridors that pass through the same space without intersecting and that is a simple example. I have thought that someday I might do a youtube video and describe it and let people attempt to draw it.
Behind a secret door is a five foot wide corridor that slopes down, and you all decide to follow it and it goes about a hundred yards and then goes around two corners and you come to a door, going through the door you go down steps. After descending about 20 feet you realize the stairway corridor is getting more narrow and now is is only 3.5 feet wide, you look back and behind you the corridor is collapsing on itself and that is moving towards you, you all start moving faster and the stairway comes to a landing and at the end of the landing is a pit too deep to see the bottom of and 10 feet away is a small landing with a door beyond. You quickly jump across and the whole party has to help get the dwarf across because of course they cannot jump much. The corridor behind you continues to close and just as the last one makes the jump the landing is no more and there is only a blank wall behind you. Now you have to get the door open, but you all fill the little landing completely and the door opens towards you, what do you do?
How do you draw that? My maps have lots of stars and notes that say do something weird here or time to up the tension and put a little fear into them. Stuff like that.
