Dungeon #106, pg. 54
He did a series of maps for the underdark: a dwarven mine, a drow outpost, a few others. I really liked those and had ideas for using them in my game. Not certain what issues those were in, off the top of my head, though.

Yeah,
I'm gonna name my next NPC Sage Rezdave -- you know, the NPC Sage that the PCs can always go to to ask any question.
It's not fair. My Players swear I know my Dungeon mags supernaturally well and even bragged about it once to other gamer-store folks.
Yeah right.... I should name my kid Rezdave.

Some of the maps mentioned above are on display in my website gallery at www.mapsofmastery.com
A few months ago my group had some fun with the #106 Pirate Cove.
I printed both pages at 1/2" scale and created custom paper minis for PCs and tokens for enemies. Of course, I added a few illusory walls, secret doors, traps and so forth, which meant alternate Photoshopped rooms and passages. Then, I cut the entire map apart chamber-by-chamber and taped it back together as the party explored it. Not quite as cool as a projection set-up, but we're Old School and it was still a lot of fun. Plus, I passed along the map afterwards to a friend to his group could use it.
Thanks, Chris.
