People say Barker's underworld was massive.
At 10' per square, 10 squares per inch, tekumel's underworld seems pretty small, even on 17" by 22" graph paper.
(17" x 10squares/1" x 10'/square) x (22" x 10squares/1" x 10'/square) = 3,740,000 square feet
5280' x 5280' = 27,878,400 square feet per mile
3,740,000 / 27,878,400 = 0.134 square miles.
What am I missing here?

How big do you think "massive" should be?
0.134 square miles in 3 dimensions is still a LOT of encounters.

Redbaron, I think you are off by a factor of 10. 10' x 10' square is 100 sq. feet.

Try drawing a dungeon like that these days and you will need an opti-visor! Well, I will anyway. The old eyebones ain't as strong as they used to be.... Sweriously though I tried doing a sub level based off of the professors Jakallan notes. d**n, that was a lot of little circles for pillars!

Oh his description of "specials" in his Jakallan underworld. They are under the eunderworld section near the back of EPT.

What am I missing here? You're diddling with numbers instead of taking a sheet of graph paper and a pencil and drawing a d**n level. |
