This is a group project with the intent of looking back at the classic Judge's Guild module Caverns of Thracia and rewriting it with terse evocative language and reset some of the formatting to make it more practical for the table. We’re contacting Judge’s Guild to find out if there’s any possibility of making this an official release, but for now, please do your best to keep it legal and to ensure that it doesn’t function without the Caverns of Thracia book. We have a style guide and would appreciate your help with 1. Writing out rooms 2. Writing out overviews for sections of the dungeon a la Stonehell 3. Writing faction summaries and other reference appendices 4. Correcting/understanding the weird bits. 5. See the document for more information. We're working on it in a Google Doc: docs.google.com/document/d/1D_IlhVeDuXyLn5sLxYCZTEskxDWLRFY5iolZnNjr4Z8/edit?usp=sharingYou can chat with us about it in the OSR Discord: discord.gg/6vqF25EAnd of course I'll be following/replying to this thread. Here's a sample of the key. Bold text is immediately observed. Normal text is easily observed. Italicized text requires examination/experimentation/etc.

Nice! I like the way the layout looks. Very easy to DM and to "wing it" from!

Thanks! The format is very similar to that in Into the Odd by Chris McDowall.

Formatting a good dungeon. Does it get any better?

Thanks for doing this. A lot of great modules would benefit from such an aid.

Finishing a room is very satisfying. I look at the key and think ,"That huge block is all here? Really? Did I miss something? It looks so nice."

Righteous and agree with Finarvyn. Just those two rooms above has me mouth watered for another trip through the caverns. Alas, no players at this time...
