Dungeon Planet
10,000 worlds, suspended in a whirling gyrus like glass spheres caught in a Whirlpool
The exquisite observatory, counting away the obscure purpose of its construction
How big does a planet need to be to be considered a world, anyway?
A conscientious eye tyrant, enduring the scorn of his kind, focusing his prodigious intellect on banishing a persistent mystery
PS If there's one thing I love as much as dungeons, it's planets, and this one's both!

Very nice. I'm reminded of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's illustrations in his book Le Petit Prince.

For some reason I'm reminded of Escher's Tetrahedral Planeroid here.

I challenge you, Tony!
I challenge you to make a micro-dungeon for another early RPG.
Top Secret? Boot Hill? Traveller? Gamma World (or its retro-clone Mutant Future)?
Will you take the challenge? Dare you?

Aha! I will undertake your challenge, Mr. Bennett! In fact, I will do one of each for Star Frontiers, Boot Hill, and Gamma World! Take that!
@jaerdaph I loved those. I wasn't thinking of it consciously, but the boaboa planet remains buried deeply in my subconsciou.
@sharon How I wish I could draw like Escher. I've tried to make a couple of Escher-illusion dungeons, but not with much success. :(

Ever heard of Spelljammer?

You know, I've never played or even read Spelljammer. I wasn't doing much role-playing when it came out, and it sort of passed me by. But I should check it out, because it's right up my alley.
Speaking of planetary adenture, have you ever played Nine Worlds?
