The module is paired with The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror, which is based on Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass.
Joyce Brothers is mentioned as having played in a version of the scenario run at a convention. In the afterword, Gygax mentions that Dungeonland was an early part of the Greyhawk dungeon, and that his players visited it multiple times. Dungeonland and The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror were designed to be placed as an extension of an existing 9th–12th level dungeon. ĭungeonland was written by Gary Gygax, with illustrations by Tim Truman, and was published by TSR in 1983 as a thirty two page booklet with an outer folder. The Cheshire Cat, for example, is a magical smilodon eager to eat adventurers. Like its source material, the module is intended to be played in a "light-hearted and zany spirit", though, unlike Carroll's Alice, the player characters repeatedly face potentially lethal combat with monsters. The PCs may also explore The Land of the Magic Mirror, which adjoins Dungeonland to the West, if they are able to find the way.ĭungeonland was inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and "includes a very dangerous Mad Hatter and March Hare, a deadly game of croquet with the Queen, and a Mock (Dragon) Turtle". The PCs may leave Dungeonland when they choose, by returning to the Great Hall and wishing themselves back up the tunnel. There is little treasure and no overall plot.
The point of the adventure seems to be diversion and novelty more than anything else. The March Hare is a lycanthrope, and so on.
For instance, instead of the Mock Turtle, a Mock Dragon Turtle is present. Over the course of the adventure, the PCs run into variations of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland creatures and characters, presented in a Dungeons and Dragons style. Once they have explored these areas, they cross a fungi forest and arrive at The Wilds of Dungeonland, which is essentially a wooded area containing several connected clearings. Upon landing, the PCs find themselves in a surreal, oddly-shaped hallway which contains The Pool of Tears and the entrance to a diminutive garden. It is suggested that the portal to Dungeonland be a barrel within the dungeon of Castle Greyhawk, but the Dungeon Master (DM) may work in any premise to get them to this stage.

Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.The adventure begins with PCs falling down an earthen tunnel. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy.
Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.
