This episode we are joined by Chris Holmes: artist, writer, hobby game designer, and all-around renaissance man. Chris recounts his father's, John Eric Holmes, creation of the original D&D basic boxset as well as telling us about his own "made for the con" game designs-that he does as a way to express his interests and creativity. He tells about an up-coming re-release of his father's Pellucidar books and hangs with us for the This Ol' Dungeon segment where we revisit "The Tower of Zenopus"-also known as the sample dungeon from the Holmes D&D boxset. So, hang with us for another great episode!
-Oh, don't forget to send us some mail to get entered in for a chance to be the "at home winner" on the next episode's "Geek Credit" segment. Our address again is thisoldungeon@gmail.com. Happy gaming folks!

I ran the Sample Dungeon in place of the Bandit Camp in B2 to fatten my PCs up before the Caves of Chaos, and it is a solid dungeon. On a lark, I made one of the empty rooms full of mirrors and the door would shut behind you if you didn’t wede it open. When the door shut, whoever was in there got to talk to Zargon from the Lost City! He scared the out of my players!

Wanted to call out another great take on this dungeon: foabd.libsyn.com/the-tower-of-zenopus on Fear of a Black Dragon.
