TRIBUTE LEVELS (as included above/with dedications, slight historical fore-matter/work).  These are being designed with the listed players/designers in mind.

E.  GARY GYGAX:  Mordenkaine's Menagerie
Ernie Gygax:  The Terrible Tunnels
Terry Kuntz:   The Dark Vaults
Eric Nelson Shook:  The Sundered Caverns
Tom Champeny:  The Hidden Caves 
Don Kaye:  Merlynd's Maze  
Jim Ward:  Chambers of Chance  
Jim Goodfellow:  The Mad Paths 
Michael Mornard:  Dead Knight's Grotto

And an Honorarium level dedicated to Dave Arneson and his creations: 

The Haunted Labyrinthe

Joe Goodfellow--Oubliette of the Doomed
Bob Burman--Chambers of Chaos
Mark Ratner--The Ancient Isle
Joe Fischer--The Hideous Halls
Bill Corey/Cookie Corey--Weird Warren
Jeff Perren--Paths of the Forgotten
David Sutherland/Dave Trampier--Museum Phantastmagoria and Wyrm Way
As well as another Honorarium level to Mary Gygax  The Gardens of Gax (linked to Hewaerd's Hedge)  Without Mary's patience, forbearance support and all around great nature in the face of pressure and change, D&D probably would not have been published.  I am honored to create this send-up level for her for she has been sorely overlooked in the historical record from those times.


I am now adding each level as a section to my new Red Book folder and outlining/sketch mapping one after the next.
