About Buying the Dungeons

There's been a spate of people wanting to buy dungeon originals lately, so here's the drill. Many of the dungeons on the blog are for sale.

I've been waffling very hard about selling the dungeons online and for how much. Frankly I've come to the conclusion that the way original art is priced and sold is completely screwy and I'm not into it. There Will be a blog post on that later, you better believe.

So for now I'm selling the originals at $25 each. That's basically a fee to cover my time and effort and shipping. Or else corner me in person when I've got a few minutes to chat and I'll draw you one for free on the spot. I might ask you to buy me coffee.

I've got some cool plans for the new year, which will include things like some nice letterpress editions and reproductions and the like which I'll be able to offer at a nice price point, so if $25 feels steep, hang in there. I've got you covered.

To purchase, email me at tony DOT dowler AT gmail DOT com, or DM @tonydowler on twitter and tell me which dungeon(s) you like. I'll let you know if they're available or not. Unfortunately, the town and wilderness maps aren't currently available at all.

Oh, and the physical details: each dungeon is drawn in pen and ink on 3"x4" cardstock and placed in a 4"x5" matte frame with foamcore backing. Dungeons may have small smudges or pencil marks owing to the process by which they were created.

If you're interested in custom commissions, email me and we'll chat. I offer reasonable rates, but I'm totally jammed with other life commitments until after the holiday season.

Thanks for all the Dungeons! We need more Dungeons!

It's hard for me to admit this, but I'm running out of dungeon ideas. I just finished three Gamma World dungeons and I've got nothing left.

So please send me your dungeon ideas! I'll take themes, words, geographical features; anything you've got! Post them in the comments.

Also, one random person from the comments will receive the original copy of The Meteoric Shrine of Kintok-Glau mailed to them in a simple matte frame.

The Dungeons of January

It's time to put up some of the originals for sale! These things are just cluttering up my desk and I need to stop moddlycoddling them and let them go out into the world -- to good homes only!

Some of these dungeons have minor scuffs, dents, or discolorations. This is because of the process by which they are created. These dungeons travel with me. I work on them in coffee shops, on the bus, and in the diner while I'm waiting for lunch.

Each dungeon original is $25.00, plus $3.00 shipping.

The first batch will be January dungeons only, with more to follow soon: Microdungeons.com Store. Most of the dungeons I posted January were given away at Gen Con or to friends, which is why there's only a few dungeons there to start with.

If you order multiple dungeons, I will refund the shipping charges for all but the first dungeon.

Original Art GIveaway Winner!

A day late on my part... the winner of the Original Art Giveaway is James of The Underdark Gazette. Congratulations James! I'll be contacting you for shipping information soon.

The giveaway and Original Art Week was really successful. Thanks everyone for the support and enthusiasm! Based on how well this went, there will be future art giveaways and sales in the future once I get a bit more organized and cut some matte frames.

Also, on an art-related topic, I wonder if anyone else is interested in sharing their microdungeons on Flickr? My username there is Orkboi, and I'd be interested in setting up a gallery of other people's microdungeons. Just drop a comment in this thread and tag your image with "microdungeon".

Original Artwork Week Giveaway

Today marks one month of Microdungeons. I'm totally bowled over by how much support this site has gotten. I thought I'd post a few dungeons, get a few hits, and maybe build up a small readership over time. Instead, thanks to the RPG community and a very timely post on the Make Blog, I received over 4000 hits on my first week! I really, really appreciate everyone who has read, commented, linked, and otherwise supported Microdungeons.com. I think it's going to be an awesome year.

I'm going to start month two with an experiement and a giveway. I'm going to sell the original of each dungeon that I post this week. But I'm also going to give away one dungeon for free. If you're interested in becoming the owner of "Kobold Perfidy", just comment on this post. After Saturday at midnight, I'll choose one random commenter as the winner and mail off the matted original of Kobold Perfidy to them.

If you're a blogger, also please include a link to your blog in the comments!

Here's the original in all its koboldy glory:
