The Rise of the Githyanki
Back in the 80's some time there was a Githyanki astral dungeon published in Dragon Magazine. It was an awesome mind-bending high-level dungeon on a floating asteroid castle with towers and rooms sprawling in every direction in an Escher-like contravention of the laws of gravity.
There's something spectacularly awesome about the Githyanki.* Thus I declare this Githynaki week, with three vaguely Githyanki-flavored dungeons for your pleasure.
Trivia: Did you know that Githyanki were created by Charles Stross for his D&D campaign?
* If you are one of those small minority of Githyanki-haters, please don't despair. Next week I'll have some dungeons with Kobolds and giant spiders in them or something.

I'm actually a githyanki hater--though "indifferencer" is closer to the mark--but this astral dungeon of which you speak sounds fantastic!
Who's Charles Stross? Besides the inventor of Githyankis, of course.

Some people just don't like the Githyanki; it's a sad truth of gaming. :(
Charles Stross is a science fiction writer. I've only read a tiny bit of his stuff, but what I've read was cool.

It's true. Part of it is that they're the poster boys for the Fiend Folio--not everyone's favorite monster compendium--part of it is that they were the primary opponents of a particularly uninteresting campaign I was once a part of.
