Description

edit

Dungeon Lairs is a set of generic full-colour floorplans of monster lairs for use with 25 mm miniatures in a fantasy role-playing game.[1] The supplement contains 15 rooms on twelve A4 cardstock sheets:

  • Sewer
  • Underground Complex
  • Troll Cave
  • Chaotic Cave
  • Chaotic Temple
  • Ancient Temple
  • Tumulus
  • Goblin Hall (on two sheets)
  • Mossy Cave
  • Root Cave
  • Flooded Cave
  • Ice Cave
  • Chaotic Throne Room[2]

The supplement also includes a 12-page booklet with tables of random encounters and treasures for each of the floorplans.[2]

Publication history

edit

Games Workshop first published Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in 1986. The supplement Dungeon Lairs was published the following year, a boxed set with artwork by Dave Andrews and Colin Dixon.[3]

Reception

edit

Graeme Davis reviewed Dungeon Lairs for White Dwarf #91, and stated that "If you use floorplans, Dungeon Lairs will definitely be a worthwhile addition to your collection. Even if you don't, it might be worth a look - the sample dungeon is readily plunderable for ideas, and the supplemental WFRP material might be useful if you GM that game."[1]
