The original map was about the size of two sheets of paper. The squares were tiny — just about the size of Heritage models’ bases, maybe 1/2 inch. My first project scaling it up to 1″ squares so I can fit my figures on it comfortably — mine are mostly based on 1″ bases.
The Caverns of Doom
It’s not easy to tell but I tinted each room and hall a little differently so it is clear where they meet. Monsters can’t leave the room or hall they appear in, so it is important!
This is drawn on a sheet of foam-core.

What does the final map measure out at?
I’d thought about doing this myself.
The dungeon is 15″ high by 24″ wide, on a 20×30 foam core board. In hindsight foam core is not really that great at staying flat, though. I’d probably use poster board if I were to do another big map, and only use foam core in 10×10 or 12×12 “geomorphic” sections.
Wow, this brings back some memories!

for years these games have haunted me. I remember Crypt of the Sorcerer was my first experience in fantasy role playing. A friend bought the Caverns of Doom. We collected the heritage figures, made additional rules and other maps. Then we played Stormbringer (based on the Elric series by M Moorcock) and some d&d. and the Hero system. Then we grew up and all these games and figurines were lost. thrown out, etc..
I always felt the simple heritage system was somehow the most elegant. stripped down to the minimum, yet it captured our imaginations.
Around ten years ago I began revising the rules, as a pass time by myself for myself. I did it from memory but added some rules to make the experience a little more complete yet trying to stay in theme with a very basic set of rules based on 1d6 rolls.
anyway it has been fun looking at the maps and knowing I’m not alone
thanks

Cool!
You will want to check out Scottsz’s Sorcerers of Doom if you’d like to see another adaptation of the rules. I think there is a link in my sidebar.
Any plans to make those rules available [hint, hint]?
Well, there is some stuff in the ‘rules’ section overo n the right hand margin, and I also posted some stuff on Scribd, but notihng is really in a finished state.
