Extremely cool! I particularly like the part where the blog author describes the passages: "The ceilings in the tunnels never had the same height, with very low ceilings being the standard. Rooms, though, had always higher ceilings and came in a lot of different shapes."

Think about THAT next time you're designing an old-school dungeon -- put the CRAWL back in Dungeon Crawl!
