Great stuff! Reminds me of my attempt at "The Pit" board for a 3D version of Roborally

You did an AMAZING job on this. White Plume Mountain was one of my favorite modules when I was a kid.

I suggest a "Blackrazor" token...

I like it very much although I don´t know the background.

I finally have the time to take a closer look at this. Great job, oldschooldm, as always. Looking at your pictures, I'm wondering how you fix the transparent wall panels to the floors below? Do you simply slide hem into the grooves at the edge or is it some other method?

Tabs and slots-at-the-edge.

Played through this one a few years ago, and it was inspiring to see this construction for it! Very nice work as always.
