    Excellent work NC. A very playable map. Just the right amount of details.

    Argh ! Spattered blood - Why didnt I think of that ??!

    Nice map. I like the Iron Maiden - I copped out of doing that one. TBH I went online looking for some source material and came across some truely gruesome pages and had to take a moment and question the human race. I have never really worked out if they slammed the door shut or slowly shut the door with them.

    If it helps any, wikipedia quotes several historical sources that claim that iron maidens were never actually used for torture, but were made as dramatic displays for "torture museums" that became popular in the 1800s. Now that's not to say that there wasn't some pretty gruesome devices used, but maybe not that one.

    I went back and forth in my head, trying to decide whether the maniacal torture room curator would keep his room meticulously clean, or revel in the bloodstained floors and tables. I also liked the way it looked when I drew it, so kept it

    As for the iron maiden, thankfully I didn't have to Google it, or I may have gotten discouraged as well. I had my childhood playing Diablo to pull from for inspiration instead!

    Thanks everyone for your kind words!

    Great map, northerncartography

    I'm half and half about whether the blood would have been left there or cleaned up, but it certainly looks pretty gruesome. At least you haven't left any actual... you know... chunks of stuff lying around the table! *shudder*
