World's Largest Dungeon

Or World's Longest Project

I think this was the first book template I ever did actually. After AEG's senior graphic designer quit, I saw an opportunity to step in and come up with the design for this huge 800+ page book.

Although very rewarding and educational. this project was a nightmare, almost from beginning to end. Due to horrible project management, shoddy manuscript editing, and impossible deadlines I was forced to work 16 hour days for weeks at a time. After laying out what were supposedly complete chapters, I'd find HUGE chunks of missing rules text. Which of course throws the entire book layout up. It's sad that I learned Dungeons & Dragons almost entirely from proof-reading this book. The 16 poster-sized maps commissioned from a freelance artist used obvious low-res textures and had very little detail, so I added rich textures and graphic detail. I mean, the thing is $100 bucks, shouldn't the maps be better than some freebie off a guy's Geocities page?
