B2: The Keep on the Borderlands includes four maps: 1. the Keep 2. the wilderness around the Keep 3. the Caves of Chaos 4. the guild house floor plan Do we know who drew those maps?  |

DDO, DCC, or more Lost City map work? Oh, the hardship of making adult decisions! ;)

I thought Diesel (Dave LaForce) did them, but I don't have my copy of B2 at hand, so I can't look at the credits to confirm.

According to Back to Basix, he did the map of the caves of chaos at least.

Here are the credits for the first printing of B2: Designed and written by: Gary Gygax Layout: Harold Johnson Editing: David Cook Harold Johnson Jeff R. Leason Frank Mentzer Tom Moldvay Lawrence Shick [sic] Jean Wells Art: David S. LaForce Erol Otus Jim Roslof The credits of the 1981 revision of B2 are as follows: Designed and written by: Gary Gygax Revised by: Dave Cook Harold Johnson Jon Pickens Michael Price Evan Robinson Lawrence Schick Stephen D. Sullivan Editing: Mike Carr David Cook Harold Johnson Jeff R. Leason Frank Mentzer Tom Moldvay Lawrence Schick Edward G. Sollers Stephen D. Sullivan Jean Wells Art: David S. LaForce Erol Otus Jim Roslof I'm afraid that the credits do not provide the definitive answer to who did the cartography. I think it likely that one or more of the three artists (LaForce, Otus, or Roslof) did the maps. |

Paleologos on DF first clued me into Diesel being the source of the maps in B2. I talked to Diesel in person about it at NTRPCon one year, and he said he remembered drawing all of those little trees. Paleologos also talked to him about it in person in 2018, which he posted about here ("...Diesel (ditto, confirming that he did all the cartography for B2, and even added a secret chamber to the gnoll lair)...") |

And that is the definitive answer to that. David S. LaForce drew all of the maps in B2. Thanks, all! |
